Everyone has seen this breakdown truck in action as it loads a vehicle involved in an accident and takes it to be repaired. To recover vehicles, the loading platform can be removed and the crane can be extended and swiv-elled. The extendible wheel lift and the load handling gear, consisting of tracks and wheel clamps, enable safe and fast towing. Wheel chocks and fold-out support legs ensure stability and profiled tyres complete the picture. The tipping driver's cab of the MAN provides a view of the engine and the mirrors of the driver's cab can be folded up. The engine bonnet of the cross-country vehicle can also be opened and its windscreen folds down. The cross-country vehicle can also be steered.
