Default anyone worked int he recovery industry?

would liketo pick your brains about loading immobilised vehicles without keys etc

ie what did you use? slippery jims or wheel skates etc

basicly ins and outs of loading a car onto a beavertail

i was thinking of getting 4 slippery jims but getting the car back off the truck ???? and are they that good? ie if you have a car to pull out of a space sideways etc?


or are skates the way to go? just concerned the skates will get stuck on ramp etc

fwiw only time I've ever been towed away (in Bristol) they slung tapes under the car and picked it up on a crane

I know this because I watched - I arrived as the (diamond) geezer was doing it, and he wasn't going to have an argument with me. To his credit he gave me a lift to the pound where i paid my £125 and got the car back. One of the most surreal experiences of my life so far....
