East Midlands-based Burrows Recovery has bought another Roger Dyson NRC sliding rotator, bringing its fleet up to three recovery trucks.
 The new NRC has been fitted at the bodybuilder's production facility in Droitwich, Worcestershire, to a new DAF CF85 8x4 chassis, also supplied by Dyson.
The unit boasts a sliding and rotating boom capable of lifting up to 50,000kg, and a 16,000kg-capacity underlift. Other features include four hydraulic winches, two with 45,000lb capacities and an ancillary 20,000lb pair, full storage lockers, a working area lighting system and radio remote control.
Roger Dyson also fitted the chassis with a removable tag axle to provide the optimum axle loading specification for Burrows' police recovery work.
The NRC sliding rotator is the only system in the world that allows the crane boom to slide and rotate under full capacity. This allows much more flexibility in positioning the equipment at a recovery scene.
Burrows Recovery managing director Chris Burrows says that in many instances, it can effectively double the crane capacity by allowing the boom to be slid over the rear support jacks and used in a retracted position.
"We had no hesitation in replacing the previous truck with another Dyson," confirms Burrows. "The new unit is already working hard on our contracts with local police forces, truck operators and dealers."
And hee continues: "The sliding and rotating system makes it extremely versatile and perfect for heavy recovery jobs, particularly in situations where extra reach is needed when the ability to move the crane is a huge benefit. In fact, the NRC sliding rotator does everything we require."
