Welcome to Heavy Recovery with Steve!
I'm Steve - a Heavy Vehicle Recovery Driver from the South of England.

I've set up this channel to provide insights into the world of recovery and whether you're here with the intent to step into the world of recovery or just interested in seeing the action - I hope you find thoroughly enjoy the videos!
During 2022 - my channel will provide content on the following, so feel free to subscribe if this is of interest you!
- How to start a career in Heavy Vehicle Recovery for the newcomers looking to take the plunge

This is the first time I have watched a bus being recovered, excellent video. I like the running commentary when you are in the driving segment. It shows that you really know what you are doing when hauling large loads and how much you need to focus on your load and your driving technique. Also, for anybody watching this, it will make them realise just how much room large vehicles need when negotiating roundabouts and tight urban corners, and why you need to use the opposite lane when towing long loads, very different from driving a car. Good job, I look forward to many more videos ;)

I'm just as amazed of viewing the drive as the prep work. While I don't film myself, I do often talk myself through traffic. It helps you keep focus, improves situational awareness and when you are unable to tell yourself what you are gonna do before you do it, you probably are driving too fast. Roundabouts are still a rare find here in the US, we do have 'circles' like Dupont Circle and you see some larger roundabouts near highways. So far, I've never seen a mini roundabout here in the (northeast) US...

Thanks for this video. Its very educational and shows what's involved with hauling large vehicles. Especially I was under the impression that the procedure was just the use of a lifting the front coupler and used a special coupler and use connect the air hoses to control the brakes like those road trains use. But thanks for showing us the full works and please keep up the great work with the videos.
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve
@HeavyRecoverywithSteve 2 года назад
Thanks for watching, glad you found it of interest. Unfortunately we can only supple air to keep the brakes off and keep the suspension up. There is no air coupling to plum into service brakes,so all the breaking is down by the wrecker.

Here in the U.S., roundabouts are called rotaries, and they are fast vanishing from our road network, except for states like Massachusetts. My chief concern for you, as you did this recovery, was when you had to work close to the traffic lane, with cars passing by. Your work is a model of efficiency and attention to detail.

Loved it great vlog. Only subscribed a few week's but as a hgv driver with very little knowledge of the mechanical side of thing's I'm finding this very intresting. Had a break down in a Mercedes Iconic bin Lorry about 4 yrs ago and watched with interest as the recovery truck driver worked his magic. I had no forward gears and she stopped on the brow of a hill on a main road. I managed to reverse back onto a grass verge to a safe place but the poor guy had to hook up and take the halfshaft out on long wet grass verge. That experience sparked my interest in hgv /psv recovery work.

Hello from Florida, Steve! Roundabouts are slowly catching on over here, more so in some states than others. The only one around here that I know of is on the west end of the bridge to Clearwater Beach. They had to do it because with the old intersections, beach traffic was causing gridlock on the island and backing up for miles. It still backs up for miles during spring break and on nice weekends, just not as many miles (LOL). Question: are safety chains not required in the UK? The heavy recovery folks over here seem to always use them. Thanks for another great video.

A tip, there are several ways to bring air into the vehicle. One is over the air barrel. But there are 2 more. One is via the test connections, these are located in the flap under the driver's seat from the outside. There simply on release pressure spring accumulator. The other. In the front (depending on the customer's request) there is also a connection that fills all air circuits. Greetings from a mechanic from the workshop

Hi Steve, excellent work navigating all the roundabouts and junctions. One thing I’m wondering is why you only put the beacons on for certain spots of the journey to highlight your presence. Rather than keep them on the whole time you are towing? After all, it is a very long combination

I've driven these old style citaros before, I really hate how the brake pedal is miles higher than the accelerator. great buses though! the new-gen ones are so much butter to drive.

Great content Steve. Do you sometimes get asked to back your broken large vehicles over a pit or onto a ramp so they can get straight on it?. I used to do some recovery and was asked this all the time Keep it up Peter from Liverpool

Great video Steve. Thanks for sharing. Wonder if those who design mini roundabouts think about recovery trucks and towing - I think not.
