Electric & Hybrid Vehicles - Moving on Wheel Skates
An alternative way of moving Electric and Hybrid Cars opposed to 'straight dragging' is to lift onto vehicle wheel skates before winching up the vehicle bed.
Lifting onto vehicle wheel skates before winching may be more time consuming in terms of operation, however, the risk of damage to the vehicle is minimised.

Reduce Movement Friction - Use Wheel Skate Skids

The Wonder of Snatch Blocks
A Snatch Block is a great aid to winching operations:
- By increasing load pulling capacity
- By facilitating a change of direction of the pull if required
- By improving life expectancy of the winch and rope through reducing the strain applied on them

Signs for the Times: Safety at the Roadside
Roadside recovery can be a very dangerous and hazardous business, whether it be on a winding country lane or on a busy 'A' road.
Wherever the recovery, the issues are the same - vehicles approaching too fast, oblivious of what is ahead.
