Delighted to hand over this superb new tilt & slide recovery truck.

Built on the new DAF XB chassis and finished with a top-quality recovery body, this one left the workshop fully loaded with extras and ready to hit the road. A serious bit of kit that’s built to work hard while looking the part.

A big thanks to the lads at Tow Trucks Dublin for their business. We wish them the very best of luck with their new truck and look forward to seeing it out and about across Dublin and beyond.
