Heavy goods vehicle recovery
4×4 recovery fleet with lifting arms and heavy low-loaders. Any size of vehicle, day or night.
04 67 42 14 31 24/7 emergencyAn immobilised lorry means freight stuck and, very often, a lane closed. Montpellier Dépannage operates a fleet of 4×4 heavy recovery vehicles fitted with lifting arms and heavy-duty low-loaders, able to recover any size of vehicle — rigids, tractor units, semi-trailers, coaches and plant — around the clock.
Our crews work on the A9, the A709, the A75 and the secondary network of the Hérault and the Gard, in coordination with the police and the motorway concession whenever road safety requires it. Righting an overturned vehicle, pulling a lorry out of a ditch, towing to a repair centre: we handle the whole operation.
How it works
- 01
Assessment
Tell us the type of vehicle, its load and how it is immobilised, so we can decide which lifting equipment to send.
- 02
Making the scene safe
On arrival the area is signed and secured, working with the road authorities when the job is on a motorway.
- 03
Lifting and loading
Lifting arm or heavy low-loader depending on the situation: the vehicle is righted then loaded, including after a rollover or a run off the road.
- 04
Recovery
The vehicle is taken to the repair centre or agreed destination, with the operation tracked from end to end.
