NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!!!!!

What a mess, hope the driver was ok. So much power from that old girl, I do love a good wrecker!

Driver was fine. Obviously few cuts and bruises.👍

Too heavy

nice to see old recovery trucks still working. as long as they maintained no reason why they shouldn't go on forever

[@malcookie]

Yep, till the greenies put them off the road.

Hi again Shaun. If you have anymore stuff like this no matter how old it is, then I'm sure your viewers would love to see them, I know I would. I know you're a busy man, but if you get a chance why not upload some 👍

Someone we use still uses a 54 plate Daf CF with a HiAb. Great wagons, I remember multi dropping with a 18t prime mover with 1 million K's on it and that was around town, day in day out.

how in the name of god did the driver get out of that one with a few cuts.....lucky isnt the word for it the driver had someone looking after him hope the driver bought lottery tickets after

[@terrys1595]

👍 Thanks Shaun. As I said in my other comment, I'm guessing you uploaded this after the fools that you proved wrong on TT channel said that your wrecker/rotator is not up to their standards. It sure is, great clip and dam how lucky was the driver of that, unbelievable that he walked away from it. Keep up your great work 👍

[@gcalombardoltd]

Yes just wanted to show what the ol girl can do 👍

[@1701_FyldeFlyer]

[@dportass]

So odd that after watching lots of Ron Pratt with his rotator heavy recovery vehicle i realised i've never seen a rotator type heavy recovery vehicle in the UK, only the straight lift heavy recovery vehicles. It's cool to know that we do have them here for those challenging recoveries :)

[@Rs500ybd]

Their is loads Of Rotators in the UK.

[@BertC-kw7qi]

Plenty in the UK I have been recovered with one when road collapsed under my tanker and it few against a pole

[@jonnywilson9117]

Ron Pratt's fantastic. He's another one that's extremely skilled and highly experienced. Used to watch him all the time a while back.

[@6robertdavey]

I used to watch Ron Pratt but, his head cam footage made me queasy. Great guy with the right attitude for getting the job done and done right/safely.

WOW.... Did the driver get out ?

[@knudknollard3309]

[@tonyb83]

What happened to the driver of the concrete lorry wkth the flattened cab?

[@James_Rivett]

the area looks familiar, wgere abouts was it?

[@Rickytricky01]

I'm confused what is not fit for purpose? The accident damaged Daf CF OR the Daf 8 Leg Rotator? Considering the damage to the Daf mixer the driver did well to get away with only cuts & bruises I'd also say I don't want to drive a Daf mixer although I have been seen in 8 Leg Daf CF's

[@typhoon2827]

Did it buff out?

If it was repaired by a Pakistani team, it would.

[@chris-non-voter]

I may be taking a wild guess here, but.... the weight of that mixer lorry multiplied by lever arm (length of crane boom) = more than that crane can handle.

I don't quite get the "not fit for purpose" tag line, but one thing that is definitely *NOT" fit for purpose, is the cab of most trucks. Yes, I realise saving cost is much of the game with manufacturing, but they should do a better job of not collapsing in a crash, than that.
