This video just shows people you don't need £100K fancy specialist vehicles to do recovery jobs. It is all about the operators knowledge and strong equipment. All round decent bloke doing work at decent prices.👍
Thanks pal, hope you're well
@SleafordRecovery I am muddling on, thanks Ben. How long now until we see the inside of the new unit and congrats on getting more subscribers👍
Great job mate you made it look easy 👍
@@SleafordRecovery will this repair or be written off
Have a look at "Florida offroad recovery" I can't believe what this guy gets out. How do people get in predicaments like this one with so much room to turn around also she could have driven the thing home cheers.
This is a perfect, carefully thought out recovery of a vehicle in an awkward situation x
Thanks mate
Well done. It's nice to see someone who takes pride in their work.
I sure do, treat the cars like they're my own
And does not give a fuck about the law
You’re so much more watchable and less irritating than another certain recovery UA-cam channel 😂 keep up the good work! Subscribed!
Thanks for the feedback! Really appreciate it
Really excellent. A textbook lesson in leverage and how to apply force in the correct manner. Well done!
Ah thank you, appreciate your comment
I really appreciate watching someone who knows their job doing it professionally. You really nailed it once again!
Try my best mate, thanks
Great to see someone take great care of the car. Slow and steady not doing further damage, well done. Great to see, careful considered winching.
Thanks mate
The patience, expertise and professionalism show by you in all these videos is fantastic. As others have said, just shows you don't need a £100k wagon to hiab it out...
Cracking job matey 🦆🦆
Thanks mate, appreciate that
Brilliant job. After your comment about find a farmer, I had visions of Mr Hewes ripping it out with his foden tank recovery truck😂😅
Ha ha yeah totally
A nice and clean job. Also today I learned that patience and some wood can save ppl from a lot of damage. Thanks.
Any time mate
Impressive recovery, lucky lady..........
Thank you 😊
She was really lucky. If she had gone with the RAC, she would still be waiting 😂 good video and well done 👏
Thanks mate, appreciate your comment
This is the first Sleaford Recovery video I’ve seen. I love the thoughtfulness , logical thinking and obvious abundance of skills.
And living in Sleaford myself I feel reassured that you guys are out there looking out for us.
Great pull, and great treatment of the stranded vehicle with no extra damage.
Subscribed and can’t wait for more videos!!
Ah thank you mate, really appreciate your support 😊
Must be the most professional recovery guy in Britain!! Nobody would take that much time and care to recover a vehicle. Fair play pal
I'm sure there's plenty that would. Sometimes though it's easy ti shrug when a car gets further damage and just say "nothing I could do".
Genuine person , i wish you well, the world needs more like you👍
Ah thank you mate, I do try and wear my heart on my sleeve
Nice recovery mate, man's got skills. I'm truck driver & also get pissed off with peps not using the heads lights in the fog think they forget the the auto function only works for dark conditions not fog, to lazy to turn switch on.
Totally agree mate, I've had to come up with coping mechanisms to not let it piss me off 😂
No one got hurt that's the most important thing. Job well done Ben and Ronnie 👍
He's a top lad
@@SleafordRecovery most definitely. Both work well with each other
Well, except for a bruised ego, I'm sure! 😂
Another successful recovery. Nice one Ben. One very lucky lady 😁
Thanks Emma
Very well done, I work for the largest breakdown and recovery company in the UK, (small van)I see this type of issue regularly and struggle to deal with these scenarios with my onboard kit, that's a great way to tackle a job like that with the equipment you have, congrats on your care taken.
Ah thank you mate, appreciate that. Stay safe out there
Skill, patience and understanding right there!💪
Thanks pal
excellent video ....nice to see a recovery operator taking care with with a customers car .. awsum job ....
Thank you, customers cars get treated like they're my own
Nicely done mate, good to see someone caring for there customers motor, even after the damage they already done
Always mate
Funny guy, great recovery, love the chat too...Subscribed!! All the best...Steve
Thanks mate, really appreciate that
We always use the hole in the shackle to wire the pin in place on more permanent uses. If it was tight we would use a spanner on the flats to loosen it.
Yeah tbh I have a pair of Mole grips in my locker that I use in the same way as you described.
Looks like the kind of scenario we get on a recovery training day. Good work. Nice jack action
Thanks 👍
I love watching professionals at work.😀 the puffing and panting says it’s hard work but you make it look easy.
It’s more like art than engineering.😀
Thanks mate, yeah I maybe need to edit out the puffing ha ha
That was fecking impressive pal I’ll give you that.
When I saw the photo I was thinking “how T F is he gonna pull that without ripping the wheel off?”
Nice one man. 👌🏻
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it
Cracking job Ben that was a good test of the skills! Best part for the customer is that because of the approach you took her car looks none the worse for its trip off the edge of that bridge 👌
Yeah exactly, it's easy to just hook up and pull but I like to make sure no more damage occurs
Ben, you never cease to amaze me, fella, top job rescuing that car and without causing any additional damage. Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏
Cheers pal
Ben, you and Greg @ GDB should go on a recovery job together or spend a day out in the truck together 🚛
We speak quite often mate, I'll see if he's up for it
That was an AWESOME video Ben, thank you very much for your efforts. Thoroughly enjoyed watching the technical aspect of the recovery. Superb 😎😎😎😎😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoy these sort of winchouts, I have a degree of winching knowledge from running tractor mounted forestry winches but no auto experience. Quite fun pauseing the video and trying to work out how you will do it.
Ah that's cool. Glad you enjoyed it mate
Well done on a great recovery. You sussed out the dynamics that would affect the car while winching, especially the hub below parapet level would likely rip the wheel/suspension off. As soon as I saw the position of the car, I thought "he's going to have to use a jack to get it up and over the wall". Good job!
Cheers mate, really appreciate that
portable air bags. like some garages use. support the front. gently roll forward. the air bags rolling under the chassis. for minimal undercarriage damage.
Yeah they're great aren't they
What a moater, a bridge too !
Well done Ben.
Top job Ben, good to see you confidently used your winch and had no issues. Great technique and Ronnie did the rest ! 👍🏽😎
He's a top lad that truck
Brilliant recovery and a lucky girl it could have been a lot worse 👍👍
It sure could have mate
That was very impressive. I couldn't see how you were going to be ale to get that out of there with doing some serious damage to the fuel tank. Obviously Malcolm was the mastermind behind the scenes telling you what to do. Shame you didn't let him do the editing as well. Worth the wait though, good job Ben..
Ha ha I wish someone would do my editing 😂
Great job Ben. Still looking happy. Onwards and Upwards
Thanks pal, trying my best
Cracking effort Ben. Watched it with our 2 year old (also a Benjamin) who couldn't take his eyes off the "big truck." 😂💪
Ha nice one mate, sorry about the language, they're not normally like this 😂
ben you are a knight of the road and affordable your tenacity is your strength well done
Thank you, lovely comment ☺️
Great video style and great recovery technique!
Glad you're enjoying it. Thanks for commenting
Great skill, Ben. Slow and steady, with a great deal of experience- well done
Thanks mate
Think the lady needs to buy a lottery ticket , she was very lucky, another great video ben
Thanks 👍
Well done mate. Kept your nerve and did a very professional job. Happy days.👍
Cheers buddy
Truly terrifying how close she got to disaster - great use of physics, multiplication of force...you're a great teacher.
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed joyed it
the thinking on shackles has changed recently, not sure how recent though. Went to Brize Norton, many years ago, to do an underslung lifting course, closest thing found to lifting tackle inspection, when under strain, the pin tightens and will not come loose, but was corrected, to your way, in the last couple of years.
Yeah, I actually watched a video where they tested the breaking strain of shackles when done tight or backed off, it's only 3-5% less but the backed off ones always failed first
My first truck was a merc like that, with a dyson slider on it. Good times! I miss doing jobs like this 😢
Yeah I wish I could do more of them. My favourite jobs are winch outs that the customer wants to drive after so I don't have to load/unload 😂
Nice work! One lucky customer in more ways than one.
Thank you 😊
Great video, I love watching the technical recoveries.
Glad you enjoyed it
Fantastic job m8,slow n steady No damage Well done,hoping get back on with my new body fitting next week,having withdrawal systems 😂
Sounds good mate 👍
You are the thunderbird's,well done
Ha ha, love that
Fab vid Ben, you're braver than most getting in that when it was still dangling! Really good insight into your technique too👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks mate, I wasn't getting in it until it was on my winch though 😂
Nice work 👊 took patience and skill. RAC wanted paying? I've got them🤔
Cheered me up as ever, thank you.
Yeah they changed the policy a while ago now, any accident is chargeable and they are far from reasonably priced
Love it how you absolutely blanked that cyclist and he had to laugh at his own shit joke 😂
Ha ha I thought it was funny in the edit too 😂
A guardian Angel must have been watching over her reversing off the bridge into the ditch! Well done with the rigging Ben and understanding the extreme forces if the center of the axel wasn't above the bridge deck. You get a sub for that.
Thanks mate, really appreciate that
It was worth the wait I kept refreshing last night waiting for the upload, better late than never
Yeah sorry mate, I was out til 10pm, only finished the editing gone midnight. Ah well its out now, cheers for commenting
Good work mate, very clever pull and great outcome.
RAC are sh!te left me high and dry 200 miles from home and didnt bother telling me for 4 hours
Jesus that's not good!
Good work Ben, she was lucky that didn’t go a bit further
Yeah totally
Well done Sir. The UK have a love of saying what if, what if. In this situation you are 100% right - chances of drowning in one foot of water and being towed out by a farmer or cowboy recovery driver, well then she'd be fecked both ways. If ever I was in a situation like that I'd love to have a legend like you attend.
Ah thanks mate, appreciate that
Great job done with care. I have done this twice, once pulled out of mountain ditch by tractor. This almost pulled my car apart. The other time I went over a very high kerb and got stuck on sill. ( wheels in the air) Got out pushed car off kerb and jumped back in as my car was going down hill. Never again.
Ha ha, learn from your mistakes, common theme on this channel mate
You're a natural at this Ben, keep it up!! Great job too. Really, you had me at 'f***in hate cyclists!
I debated whether to leave that in for ages 😂
@@SleafordRecoveryDo you hate the same people when they're driving their cars?
I suppose it would depend on how they're driving, doesn't it?
@iamaduckquack OK, so you use logic if someone is driving a car, but outright hate anyone just because they're riding a bike. Makes sense.
@@MsPinkwolf That's not what I said, silly. Nice mental gymnastics thought 👍
Good job,,,,well done...thought the job thro.....and every thing safe and sound...
Thanks pal
Got away with one there, good work lad.
Thanks Rob
Great video Ben as always.
That lady was 1 lucky cookie.
Normally them ditches are full in winter they are around Kings Lynn area lucky girl.
Hope she's learned just turn around on the road back into the junction and never go into field gate ways.
Expecially around Norfolk or Lincolnshire.
I've recovered few from ditches all done the same thing sadly.
Everyone learns from mistakes.
Time for a cuppa Tea 🍵 ❤
Yeah you're right you see them a lot in both counties. Stay safe my man
@@SleafordRecovery Be safe 🙏
Brilliant vid Ben, really enjoyed the explanations for the winch out
Thanks mate
Your video popped up on suggested video's and gave it a watch and loved it. Very professional job and great attitude, so I decided to subscribe. Keep up the good work. 👍
Thank you mate, welcome to the team!
You make it look so easy 😎 great job Ben!
Thanks Adam, best job ever this
@@SleafordRecovery definitely is I can only drive the 3.5T but no better job I’d rather do!
@@SleafordRecovery learnt a few things from your channel as well! 😎🙏
Well done Ben, great recovery, and great watch. ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it, could have been boring but tried to enhance it a little in the edit
The problem of driving in fog with modern cars is most have automatic lights. The auto sensors register darkness, not visibility, and it isn't dark enough. A lot of people don't know where the switch/lever to turn the lights on manually
That's exactly the issue mate. Nailed it
I do
UK version of "Trail Mater" off road recoveries 🙂 Bravo
Oooh I'll have to check them out
Nice pull, Great Recovery..
Thank you
Wow! Well done.
Thanks for the comment
Another great video Ben, that lady was very lucky indeed. Also, I'm with you on one point 'bloody cyclists' 😀😂
Ha ha I'm not that fussed but yeah, sometimes they're annoying 😂
WELL-PLAYED sir, impressive care and a fun video ;)
Thank you
Top job, and almost pulled off a serious video 😂 almost 🥳
I actually really tried, still pissed about a bit 😂
Fantastic recovery Sir
Thank you kindly
Nice job. Well done
Thanks mate
Wow what a brilliant bit of physics and geometry Ben. I don't remember you getting those qualifications at Uni 😂😂😂
It's because you were always drunk 🥴
Probably.
A day late but as always great viewing, keep up the good work Ben
Yeah I ended up doing another 2 hours of editing on this at midnight last night 🤦🏽♂️
Absolute top bloke! 👌 thankyou again 🫶

Thanks mate
Well that was a cracking little watch, loved your delivery outlook and I almost want to be with you on your next recovery 🤣😂
Ha ha a few people have said that 🤣
That young lady was very lucky, that's some drop had it of flipped into the roof the outcome could have been very different,
Great job though keeping damage to a minimum 👍. Retired SLA driver.
Thanks for watching, you're right it could have been bad. Wish I could afford an SLA!
What excellent skill well done sir 🤝
Thanks mate
