[@keithwarren9569]

Great job Steve good to see somebody in the UK doing this rather than Americans

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Thanks Keith!

[@bartol2179]

Greetings from Poland awasome painting on this truck

[@sethtriggs]

Really cool to see how this is done in the UK, nice presentation too. That's neat to see how the truck is set up, that wrecker body seems very similar to American heavy wreckers with the underlift and all!

[@zippyisking]

Good vlog Steve. Like others have said it's good to see someone in the UK doing a wrecker vlog and not another one from the States. Keep em coming 👍

[@KnugenMooMoo]

Artwork on that polish guys trailer looks pretty smart them Eastern European boys trailers some look cracking. And I bet you he took his shoes off before he got in your truck

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi thanks watching, yes i agree nice looking unit and trailer glad artwork on trailer came out on film.

[@KnugenMooMoo]

Binged watched all your videos over the weekend inbetween jobs some interest jobs youve done and thanks for sharing

[@garyevans9509]

Very professional Steve well done

[@andypeebles2242]

Just found you channel, Steve. Never knew there was so much involved in preparing a truck for towing. Really like the artwork on the Polish guy's trailer.

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Andy thanks for watching. On loading i would hope to be loaded and ready to tow in 30 minutes on most jobs hopefully to give you some idea of time it takes.

[@bartholoclumpdink7246]

I am just about to take my C+E license and this has been a fascinating channel to have found. Hopfully i never have to use your services in my career though :-) I binged watched all of them. I do wish you kept the video going though to show the end results a little more. Like others have asked for, a full, indepth, tour of your truck and what all the bins have inside would be brilliant.

[@jonish7793]

Completely agree, the videos seem to cut off abruptly, would love to see the recovered vehicle finally being delivered, it can't be an easy task! Aside from that, love the videos and looking forward to more!

[@stevealexP334]

Well done Steve nice work, good for some of the new lads to watch. Steve @ Bdv

[@veowav]

Please film the driving Steve. It is just as interesting as you getting the vehicles hooked up. 😁

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

[@MyPlonkerboy]

[@RELIABLE·GT3]

Hey Steve you're very fortunate to be towing another death except behind you man

[@paulprescott7913]

Hello Steve your truck must have larger air tanks and an uprated compressor from a standard truck.

[@dardie37]

Great channel, enjoying watching the videos I had one of your work colleagues come to recovery me from a factory in the back of housing estate in Harrow couple years ago , really nice chat in an MAN

[@wasted-blaster.]

Could you do an in depth video of all the equipment your wrecker has equipped for the jobs you go out too please?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi thanks for watching will do

[@richardbaker8248]

Definitely need a walk around toolbox tour

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

We have some older trucks in my job around 20 year's old and we never have problems with them its all the new trucks that give trouble because of so much electronics on them to go wrong.

[@lorenzoroberts1326]

Older trucks are way more reliable than these new trucks with electronics

[@offbeatwarble]

Just found your channel and subscribed, binge watched all your videos, please keep up the great videos! What is the purpose of these low lorries? What's the advantage?

[@yorkiepudd7404]

Hiya, the simple answer is most of europe still has the older standard of 3.6mtr bridge height. obviously the newer is at the 4 mtr +, sure was fun judging bridges way ahead, but as air suspension became the norm made it easier and with ECAS is even easier.

[@14sgdpg82]

great video

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@philcox3715]

Hi Steve. I have enjoyed watching your UK videos. I note that watching some of the American videos they have break away chains as well as chaining the chassis to the under lift. But you and others in the uk don’t. Whats your thoughts on it?

[@tootalltom]

The Americans have break away chains on everything they tow as far as I can tell.

[@pieterr9721]

You are already feeding air to the emergency line through the line to the tractor, so why the line to the trailer? And , no connection to the ABS for the trailerbrakes?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Pieter , we still have to run a emergency line to the trailer as you have to on normal artic trailer in case of emergency of separation from tow truck the brakes will come on trailer.

[@prestigeproduction57]

Does it matter weather you tow the hgv front or back

[@timf2914]

Does any trucks in the UK have tow hooks in the front so you could flat tow like they do in the USA

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Tim , most new European trucks over here now come with a screw in tow eye, but you only get 1 from factory.

[@franswijnen1909]

@@HeavyRecoverywithSteve Hi Steve I see on you tube some recovery's from Germany and the use both pick up points for lifting that's easyer than lifting under the axel. I am from holland so I love to see you driving a DAF nice work.

[@arthurandrews8755]

Surely you should have put a on tow sign on the back of the trailer?

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Andrew , thanks for watching, the trailer being towed should display the same reg as tow truck on tow signs add awareness.

[@lewiswilson1585]

Do you work for a company or is it your business

[@HeavyRecoverywithSteve]

Hi Lewis! I work for R&S Recovery based in Surrey, but the company also has depots in Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire. Thanks for watching!

[@lewiswilson1585]

Thanks for replying

[@chrisshilling1738]
