BCF Mobiliteit

Heavy recovery specialist in Friesland

A truck or bus that is stranded costs money and often creates a dangerous situation on the road. That is why our control room is available 24 hours a day and we send a recovery team with the right equipment straight away.

We recover trucks, tractor-trailer combinations, buses, coaches and agricultural machinery. After a breakdown, damage or an accident, but also when a vehicle has sunk into the verge or is stuck in a field. Can the vehicle not be repaired on site? Then we take it to a garage, dealer or storage facility.

Safety first

After an accident involving a truck or bus, the road needs to be cleared as quickly as possible. Our recovery crews work together with the police and emergency services, so the recovery is safe and fast.

Situations

Heavy recovery in every situation

No two recoveries are the same. These are situations we are often called out for.

Damage after an accident

Has a truck or bus been involved in an accident? We recover the vehicle, help the emergency services clear the road and coordinate with your insurer.

Sunk into the verge

A truck whose wheels sink into a soft verge often cannot get free on its own. With our heavy recovery trucks and winches we pull it back onto the road in a controlled way.

Snow and ice

In snow and ice, trucks leave the road more easily or get stuck. In winter too, we go out day and night to pull stuck vehicles free.

Crane work

With our crane trucks we lift vehicles and machines out of a ditch, over an obstacle or onto a low-loader. You can also call us for other lifting jobs.

Agricultural machinery

Tractors, harvesters and other farm vehicles sometimes get stuck in a wet field or end up in a ditch. We get them out with a winch or crane.

Repatriation

Has your truck broken down or been damaged abroad? We bring the vehicle back to the Netherlands and arrange the transport from start to finish.

Winching

Pulling stuck trucks and agricultural machinery free

A heavy vehicle stuck in a field, in mud or half in a ditch is not easy to get out. A tractor or second truck is often not strong enough, and the risk of extra damage is high.

BCF Mobiliteit has recovery trucks fitted with heavy winches. We use them to pull trucks, agricultural machinery and other heavy equipment free in a controlled way. Our truck stays on firm ground while the winch cable pulls the vehicle towards it.

Not sure whether we can get your vehicle free? Call us and describe the situation. A few photos help us bring the right equipment straight away.

We pull free, among others:

  • Trucks and trailers that have sunk into a soft verge
  • Tractors and agricultural machinery in a wet field
  • Vehicles stuck in mud
  • Vehicles that have ended up half in a ditch
  • Construction machinery on unpaved ground

Our expertise

Recovery of every type of heavy vehicle

Truck recovery

For trucks and lorries we have a fleet of heavy towing and recovery vehicles. For every incident involving a vehicle over 3,500 kg we arrive with the right equipment.

Bus and coach recovery

A stranded bus or coach needs quick action. We are on site as fast as possible and take care of the driver and passengers.

Tractor-trailer combinations

We recover complete combinations. If needed we bring a replacement tractor unit, so the trailer and its load can continue quickly.

Agricultural machinery and heavy equipment

Besides trucks and buses we recover tractors, agricultural machinery, construction machinery and special transports.

Transport

Transport of heavy vehicles and buses

After a recovery, a heavy vehicle often still needs to go to a garage, dealer or storage facility. With our car transporters and low-loaders we safely move trucks, tractor units, chassis and buses to their destination.

We drive throughout the Netherlands and also collect trucks from abroad. Is your truck damaged in Germany, Belgium or further away? We arrange the repatriation to the Netherlands.

Costs

What does heavy recovery cost?

The cost of heavy recovery depends on the situation. A truck broken down at the roadside is a different job from a fully loaded combination lying in a ditch. That is why we do not work with one fixed price, but give you an estimate in advance.

After an accident, recovery is often handled through the insurance. We then coordinate with your insurer or assistance company. For transport companies and dealers we are happy to make fixed arrangements.

The price depends on things like:

  • The type and weight of the vehicle
  • The location and situation, for example on the motorway or in a field
  • The equipment needed, such as a crane, winch or low-loader
  • The time we spend on site
  • The distance to the destination
  • Extra measures, such as traffic control or storage

Call us for a price estimate. We ask a few questions about the situation and tell you what to expect.
