Laden arctic overturns in Dover docks
This driver somehow managed to strike the lane seperation bollards and overturn the laden vehicle. It slid some distance on its side before the roof hit the crash barrier, ending up with part of the barrier inside the trailer. It was a soft side fridge trailer and written off as a result. Several st...

M25 RTC (Dartford)
Another lucky driver! One vehicle stopped, one didn't.

Tanker in a tight spot
This vehicle was in a very tight location. The land owner made the job quite awkward as he was very particular about how the job was dealt with. He was concerned about damage to the trees etc, hence we had to pack timber around the base. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag57/mickgould1/Digger%20i...

Very lucky escape
The driver of the Mini lost control coming down the slip road and collided with the broken down Scania on the hard shoulder. Fortunately the driver escaped with only minor injuries. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag57/mickgould1/MINI%20VS%20SCANIA/P1010326%20Copy_zps9skk44y3.jpg http://i1298.ph...

Combine Harvester (Pembury)
This was a large vehicle working on a steep slope. As it turned to go up the embankment one tyre came off the rim. The tyre company tried to change the wheel but the machine was too unstable and slipped off the jack. The Rotator lifted/supported the machine whilst a large tractor further up the fiel...

Digger stuck in swamp
This digger was cleaning out a swamp in a very remove location. The ground surrounding the swamp was very soft and the digger was a non-runner. The Foden's winches and crane were used to lift the front of the machine and its arm out of the soft ground. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag57/mickgo...

Effluent tanker off-road
Another vehicle came round the corner on the wrong side of the road, forcing the loaded tanker driver to take evasive action. As a result he slipped down the embankment and nearly overturned. We lifted and support the vehicle before pulling it back onto the carriageway. Very little damage was done a...
