Specialist Offroad recovery

Manchetts use the Mercedes-Benz Unimog because it is one of the best vehicles available for specialist off-road recovery, particularly in rural areas such as Cambridgeshire and Suffolk.

The main reasons are:

• Exceptional off-road capability – Unimogs have permanent four-wheel drive, locking differentials and very high ground clearance. They can reach vehicles stuck in fields, muddy tracks, flood water and construction sites where conventional recovery trucks would become stranded.
• Powerful winching ability – Manchetts’ Unimogs have been fitted with bespoke recovery equipment and heavy-duty winches, allowing them to carry out progressive recoveries without causing additional damage to the casualty vehicle. 
• Agricultural expertise – The business has strong links with the farming community, so they regularly recover tractors, combines, telehandlers, horseboxes and 4x4s from difficult locations.
• Reduced ground damage – Compared with larger recovery vehicles, a Unimog spreads its weight more effectively and can often access softer ground without causing as much rutting or damage.
• Safety – The Unimog provides a stable platform to “hold ground” while applying controlled winching forces, reducing the risk of shock loading and secondary damage during recovery operations.

Manchetts Mercedes Unimogs alongside JCB Fastracs and other specialist vehicles deal with challenging off-road incidents. 

If you’ve seen the yellow and green Manchetts Unimog out on a job, it’s usually because a standard recovery truck simply won’t get there.

Used for:

• Recovering HGVs from verges,
• Pulling agricultural machinery out of mud,
• Assisting emergency services,
• Recovering stranded and bogged down horseboxes and HGV's
• Off-road and flood rescues.
