[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

H Alex , hope channel will give you a true reflection of the job ,thanks for watching.

[@sidrana2828]

Steve is a very nice guy and very polite dude A proper professional when it comes to his work Keep up the good work mate Sid from first 👍

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks Sid for your comments much appreciated.

[@GDBRescueandrecovery]

Just subscribed! Good videos nice channel! , top work stay safe out there! GDB

[@MrLordwrecker]

It's good to see that coaches in America and the UK are equally pains in the arse. Also it's chill to hear we all make the same grunting sounds abd could be a bit thinner.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching James! Much appreciated!

[@rogerbond7811]

Nice to find a UK operator even better a local one.

[@GlynMorton-rv1er]

You got it sorted again Steve, well done buddy 😊keep the good work up and going strong

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thank you for watching the channel.

[@themartinpalmer1]

The tyre at 12:19 is as bald as me! :D great content Steve, stumbled across you by accident, the joy of KZbin algorithm. I watch Luke, "Big Daddy" and KevT - all doing an awesome job and gives us car drivers more of an understanding and awareness

[@dycie_recovery_op]

Perfectly legal tyre 1mm across any 3/4 of the width of the tyre 🤙🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hello from the Netherlands thanks for the video Steve

[@martenwillemhaven]

Love your truck! Be careful with the cables!

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Dan23_7]

Obviously the orange plastic fence looked like a roundabout 😂 I bet sometimes you think “🤦🏼‍♂️”

[@andypeebles2242]

Another good vid, Steve. I'm no coach driver, but I would certainly have had second thoughts about taking a coach into that field.

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

Had me concerned for a moment when you stepped over that taught line, felt my heart sink. Seen them snap and take off legs. Not like a chain but still have incredible whipping power under tension these cables. Be careful out there 👍

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi thanks for watching, good spot mate if i did, not realised at time your right not best practice to step over loaded cables. Thanks for commenting.

[@timearp8185]

Recovery training in the Army taught me that, had to shout 'live wire' as soon as it was being tensioned. Touch it and feel the wrath of the instructor!

Thanks Jay for subscribing! You're welcome.

[@theolderigetthewrongbitget4746]

Looking at his front tyre, if the rears were as slick no wonder he lost traction, I drove buses and coaches since 79 [retired last year], nice video.

[@BeastyBean]

That tire could be doing with a change lol great video,, im now a subscriber ✌️

[@SuperIanjohnson]

First time I have found your channel; and I love it. So glad to have found you, I have been watching American recovery sites up to now-I didn't know that there were any over here in England. You have a new subscriber.

[@thehighwaycowboy2822]

You see this all the time at York Races, when it's rained the coach park field is a soft mudbath

[@RaymondFunnell-bs1wl]

I travelled to Brighton yesterday on a Barnes coach from Swindon. It was a Tourismo like the one pictured here very smart coach indeed

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Raymond , not one of the easiest coaches to recover as has independent front suspension meaning front lift with wheel grids.

[@RaymondFunnell-bs1wl]

Barnes Coaches have a superb fleet of coaches of various types

[@benevans3733]

Hi Steve have just come across your channel and have subscribed as well

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Ben, welcome thanks for subscribing.

[@ben718]

Great video nice to watch

[@etaservices7343]

PERFECT LOW PULL SIR

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , should of tilted head camera down more to see better view of low pull with snatch block.

[@MrJasdog107]

Nice Work.

[@jimamccracken5783]

Great video Steve, Give us a tour of that awesome rig. Thanks from USA WV is my home.

[@Nighttrunker]

Top work 💪👍

[@alandigweed8713]

A similar thing happened to me when I drove a group to some gardens. I just sunk into a boggy are in the space reserved for coaches

[@DeadmanCo42]

That rear facing camera display, the one on your dash. What is that exactly? What would I look for if I was buying one online? The display looks really clear

[@kevinmartin9432]

20.30, it's always a relief to get back onto hard ground!

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Sure is! Thanks for watching Kevin.

[@angelamcmahon]

Great job :)

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks very much for watching Angela.

[@tatsnall]

Hi Steve, another great video, is there a difference between the yellow and the blue cable? Also what the hell was the high pitched beep all about?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Ollie , no difference in winches just painted different as easier to see when using 2 winches at same time. That warning noise sounds when you have removed the winch remote from the holder , horrible noise but stops you leaving it on a job.

[@Jelcy46]

Your roads seem hard with a oversized truck an towing in australia here seems easy because they seem bigger love your videos

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Jessie thanks for watching, must look tiny our roads in comparison to what your use too.

[@MrJburrows17]

New tyre please? Looks illegal to me….. great vid Steve

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks very much for watching.

[@richardbaker8248]

Great channel Steve looking forward to future videos. I’m currently a mechanic in Guildford been in the trade for 23 years but now looking for a change and heavy recovery really interests me but not 100% sure where to start with training so hopefully your channel will point me in the right direction. Thanks Rich 👍

[@scotspie501douglas7]

no money in it i,m sure better sticking to clutches and brakes

[@trecker59]

GREAT VID

[@minidriversouthsweden5137]

I would have done the same manoeuvre with the coach that you did with the recovery truck. But I’m not driving coaches but the steer tire doesn’t look to good but i don’t know.

[@jamescraighead9965]

Tyre might need a bit of replacing 😂

[@potatokitty]

I love watching your stuff and am considering this as a summer job, is it viable or will it take to long to learn for a summer gig?

[@martsvan1]

No 6 check how low the tyres was and handbrake sticking even when driving out

[@MegaCuprar]

Hi Steve, did you take a xpo artic back to Arla Hatfield last week?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi there , yes from M25 jc 12 that was me.

[@MegaCuprar]

I thought so I see you come in with it when I was hooking up my trailer. Love the vids buddy and be safe out there

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching.

[@rodders6162]

What's the difference between the blue and yellow cables ?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , no difference between winch cables just easier to identify the cables.

[@lordbyrom100]

Enjoyed the video it’s a pity you don’t have an annoying buzzer to keep folk away !!!but great skill and judgement

[@timf2914]

They should make the bus makers to put tow points on the corner to make it easier for you guys

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Tim thanks for watching, you dont always get tow eyes with coaches unfortunately, nothing general easy on coach recovery.

[@Matty27]

10:30 you wouldn’t get me going in like that! The coach slides back a bit and your going to be slightly stuck

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Mathew.

[@paulprescott7913]

You can see the drivers thinking , pull in and drive around. Personally i would have backed in, but thats easy for me to say as the coach length may have been an issue and he has a psv and i dont. How much weight can those winches pull Steve?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Paul, winches our two 30 000lbs superwinches giving you 30 tonne pull on both winches. By adding snatch blocks to the rigging that doubles the pull of a single line winch, with 4 snatch blokes i have on board you have potential 120 tonnes of pulling power.The winch cables i believe our good for 28 tonnes on single line before breakage but SWL a lot lower in the UK 1/5 we aim to work to.

[@stevefrost64]

That tyre on the coach looks just a tad VERY illegal.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching Steve.

[@kevinpallett910]

No that coach tyre is NOT illegal! Class VI HGV, LGV and PCV vehicle tyres require a legal minimum of only 1mm of tread (as opposed to 1.6mm on class IV vehicles) and that coach tyre had far in excess of the legal minimum. In future, ensure you know what you're talking about before making silly and spurious comments, making a complete fool of yourself. I am a retired DVSA vehicle examiner, so at least I know the facts.

[@CrazyBikerGuy]

@@kevinpallett910 Amazing. Could correct them gracefully as a respectable person but no.

[@nedseagoon5101]

@@CrazyBikerGuy VOSA/DVSA or whatever they are this week are all like that. Don’t worry about it. They think they’re Hitler, with their hi- viz & little toffee hammers. More jobsworth arrogance you’ll be hard pushed to find.

[@yorkshirefazer]

suprised coach driver didn't do a 3 point turn in the gateway there rather than trying to go into the "field". but then, i've got stuck a few times in my wagon when i possibly shouldn't have if i'd had my brain in gear!

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , we all make mistakes mate as you say , no harm done lesson learnt.

[@ewanbaxter9199]

Need to re-site your camera, didn't see much of what you did, lots of nice sky shots.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Ewan was my first attempt at filming my work , headcam .

[@Spacer-l3j]

I'll become an owner driver next year just curious what's the bill for a recovery on the highway? Trying to find out what to expect lol

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Mate, if you breakdown on a smart motorway in a unit and trailer in a live lane you be looking at £350 payable to Highways for recovery off motorway to place of safety.

[@mattperry7821]

That’s not as dear as I thought I was expecting a lot more especially with the risk involved for you guys

[@yeahyeah4433]

@@mattperry7821 init for a business thats pretty cheap considering what it entails.

[@Jamiet136]

Why didn’t you just hook up to front tow hook when pulling forward? Less chance fouling any pipes etc Good job

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi thanks for watching, unfortunately no tow hook on this coach, sometimes if you lucky you get a screw in tow eye not with this one.

[@jblack57]

20:23 why driving without tacho card??

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching, dont have to use tacho if keeping within 100km radius from out base.

[@jblack57]

@@HeavyRecoverywithSteve True, I forgot. Same as bus drivers. Thanks for answer and see ya on the road😉😉

[@ZJS0113]

What was he thinking taking a coach on grass? 😂 just reverse out...

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching, he might of made it round but go too near building and braked and that what it , lesson learned i think.

[@rjones197474]

well done but he could have easily reversed into that gateway to turn, hindsight is a great thing tbf.

[@simonbevan3332]

Would love to do this job

[@RaymondFunnell-bs1wl]

What would we do without Steve

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching the channel Raymond .

[@prince77rp]

How come you don't run tacho?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , we have to comply to tacho if travelling 100km distance from our starting base.But most of my work is inside that.

[@stugill4513]

that coach had air on the front cudnt he lift it up and give you more room under to work

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Stu thanks for watching, the driver informed me the air suspension was up on full height.

[@Georgebrassington]

You need a rotator

[@joseflavallee8577]

Do UK buses not have front two hooks or attachments?

[@littlebigman6957]

No

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Josef thanks for watching , generally no but if lucky you might find a screw in tow eye in front of coach.

[@peteh7646]

All done without the stupid commentary as we get with Ch5

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks Pete - much appreciated.

[@andyclark1426]

Nice wrecker, don’t think the coach steering wheel attendant was the brightest lamp in the box, why he took it round there in first instance is beyond me, ample opportunities for him to turn round before he went that far

Thanks for watching Andy.

Hi Trev , yes mate one of first videos i shoot , apologies.

Nice to watch what your job is all about. The only thing i didn't like was the constant moving of your head camera. Made me feel nauseous.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , was first video i took with head camera , sorry about that.

[@franklinbrooks9506]

Camera angle consistently too high. Can’t really see what’s going on at ground level.

Hi Franklin, valid comment still getting use to filming, thanks for watching

@@HeavyRecoverywithSteve Don't worry about it, get used to filming and working and then you can fine tune as you get comfortable with it all. Nice vid 👍

[@jamestaylor2404]

Front tyres not very good

[@robloxfan4271]

It looks like the driver tried to turn around but got stuck cause of the weight of the coach

[@thesteelrodent1796]

whoever came up with those tinnitus alarms has clearly never worked around the vehicle. Man, that is truly obnoxious and unnecessary.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi thanks for watching , yes its loud ok but never left remote behind.

[@harrymakongwa1147]

How could he get stuck in that place just pit in reverse and drive off

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks for watching , dangerous place to work on hard shoulder ,Friday afternoon they would want to keep all lanes running on M25.

[@allansheldrake4832]

i dunno why you need to cover up the number plate but ya filming in public you dont need to cover up plates.

Hi Allan thanks for watching, difference is mate they our customers and paying for our service so dont want there vehicles being filmed. That why i cant film anything i cant hide company logo or regs.
