Heavy-Duty Recovery Enquiries
Need help with a truck or larger vehicle? Contact CapeRoadResponse to discuss the vehicle, load and location. Heavy-duty capability has not been confirmed on this website. Do not treat this enquiry page as a promise of equipment, a recovery operator or dispatch.
Availability, coverage, capability, price and arrival estimates must be confirmed. A request is not dispatch.
People first. Vehicle second. If anyone is injured, trapped, or in immediate danger, contact emergency services first: 112 from a mobile phone. Do not wait for roadside assistance.
When heavy-duty recovery may be needed
- A truck or larger commercial vehicle unable to continue.
- A large vehicle requiring an assessment of transport needs.
- A loaded or damaged vehicle where specialist capability may be required.
Before arranging assistance
- 01
For injuries, fire or immediate danger, contact emergency services first.
- 02
Keep clear of unstable loads, damaged vehicles and traffic. Do not attempt recovery with improvised equipment.
- 03
Follow authority instructions at the scene. Describe the situation without approaching hazards for photographs.
Capability must be confirmed first
Vehicle size, weight, load, damage and access determine the recovery requirements. Appropriate specialist capability must be confirmed before anything is arranged.
Ask who will carry out the work and whether a third-party specialist is involved. This website does not confirm direct heavy-duty operations or equipment ownership.
Do not unload, rig or move a damaged truck based on website guidance. Recovery planning belongs with qualified personnel at the scene.
