A recovery vehicle (10) having a 360 DEG rotatable hoist unit (22) with a boom member (26) mounted onto a vehicle frame (12), is described. The vehicle frame contains a single rear axle (16) having wheels (18) adjacent the sides (12E) of the vehicle frame. A first outrigger assembly (50) is mounted onto the underneath portion (12B) of the vehicle frame adjacent the distal end (12C) of the vehicle frame. The vertical arms (64, 66) of the first outrigger, pivot due to a rotatable yoke (62B) in the end (62A) of the horizontal arm (62) to enable the first outrigger assembly to extend backwards of the distal end of the vehicle frame to act as anchors during pulling by the hoist unit. A second outrigger assembly (52) is mounted between the proximal end (12D) of the vehicle frame and the rear axle.
