<p>A recovery vehicle for rescuing stranded vehicles from confined or restricted areas comprises a wheeled chassis (2, 6) on which is mounted a vehicle support body (40) movable by hydraulic means (44) between an inoperative position superimposed on the chassis (2, 6) and an operative position extending rearwardly of the chassis (2, 6), the vehicle support body (40) being rotatable about a vertical axis relative to the chassis (2, 6) by a primary hydraulic ram located substantially within the confines of the chassis (2, 6), the vehicle support body (40) also being pivotal on the chassis (2, 6) to engage the rear end of the vehicle support body on the ground when in its operative position. Such an arrangement enables recovery of stranded vehicles other than aligned with the recovery vehicle.</p> |
