Custom Fold Arm Wrecker Truck Delivered to German Road Rescue Company

Our German partner operates a professional vehicle rescue fleet covering highways, urban zones and mountainous areas across southern Germany. The company was facing prominent pain points with traditional recovery equipment:

Fixed straight boom wreckers cannot work in narrow old town streets, tunnel entrances and compact accident sites;
Limited lifting flexibility, unable to conduct side lifting and low-angle rescue for overturned vans and light trucks;
Existing equipment lacked full EU safety certification, difficult to pass local TÜV inspection;
High maintenance cost of European local brand recovery trucks.

After comparing multiple global manufacturers for over 6 months, the client selected our fold arm wrecker solution for fleet renewal.
