A high quality finish that's been proven to stand the test of
time brought Scottish operator 911 Rescue Recovery back to Roger
Dyson for the latest additions to its growing fleet.
The new arrivals are both Hydraloader 5000Sla slidebeds which
offer a class leading approach angle of just 4.9 degrees, allowing
them to recover even ground-hugging supercars without risk of
damage. Each also includes a second vehicle lift.
They were fitted at Roger Dyson's production facility in
Droitwich, Worcestershire, to a pair of 12-tonne MAN TGL crewcab
chassis.
The latest slidebeds have joined a fleet of nearly 50 recovery
vehicles, which includes everything from motorcycles to a single
26-tonne truck, the overwhelming majority of which were built by
Roger Dyson.
The manufacturer is currently processing another order from 911,
for a twin-decked Hydraloader, to be mounted on an 18-tonne MAN day
cab chassis. With a 30ft long platform this will be capable of
carrying up to three cars, and a fourth on the second vehicle
lift.
911 Rescue Recovery Managing Director Stephen Greenhorn says: "I
always get what I want from Dyson. Roger tells me my vehicles are
very highly specified, with features such as bespoke lockers to
house all the equipment and controls, but it's important to me that
every piece of equipment has its place.
"I'm also very impressed with the paint finish, which is of a
very high quality and extremely hard-wearing. One of my trucks with
Dyson equipment is over 10 years old and the paintwork is still
immaculate."
Mr Greenhorn continues: "Dyson's after sales service is
excellent too. We very rarely have any problems with any of its
vehicles but if there is an issue I know it will be sorted quickly
and without fuss. And the parts availability is first class."
911 Rescue Recovery operates from Glasgow and has recently
expanded its operations, opening a new depot at Bothwell,
Lanarkshire, just off the M74. As well as working for the major
breakdown clubs, insurance companies and Strathclyde Police, the
company runs a mobile tyre fitting service and a large vehicle
workshop. This includes a dedicated Tachograph Centre for
calibration, sales and servicing of analogue and digital
tachographs, and an Authorised Test Facility for carrying out VOSA
tests on class 4, 5 and 7 commercial vehicles.
