Rescue and Tow Truck Mercedes Benz VA 08

VA 08 II Rescue and Tow Truck is designed for flexible action during rescue of vehicles resting off the public roads as a result of accidents, and for loading of the vehicles onto towing equipment if their axles or tyres are damaged.

Vehicles which are only immobile (breakdown of engine, transmission, etc.) can be towed using a classical tow assembly located at the back of the truck. The truck has 40 and 50 mm pivot tows and respective tow bars.

The superstructure is fitted with three winches with a rope towing power of about 120 kN and rope length of 50 m. Two winches are located on the truck frame, and one on the main boom. The ropes of all winches are routed through rotating pulley blocks which facilitates winching of vehicles (or other handled objects) in a 180° sector at the rear of the truck. One winch can be used to stabilize the truck itself, while the rope of another winch can pull loads at an angle of up to 90° to the truck’s longitudinal axis. To prevent rear of the truck from shifting rearwards (in the direction of the rope pull) 2 outriggers are used, which otherwise serve as stabilizers (also to take the load off the rear axles of the chassis) when lifting heavier loads with the winch located on the main boom. The third winch, located at the foot of the main boom, can be used to pull loads in the truck’s axis at the rear, e.g. to load something onto the towing assembly; also loads up to 8 t can raised up to 5 m above the ground at a distance of about 2 m from the truck’s rear end, with the telescopic boom section extended at about 3.5 m. The total length of the extended boom is approximately 8.8 m.
