The truck intervenes on breakdown: powers LED work lights for hours, drives high-current winch, runs comms and cab climate, and re-cranks dozens of times per shift. Under-sized, it lasts half the life and leaves your operator stranded. ## Why choose us - **Company invoice with VAT ID** and grouped monthly statement. - **Tiered volume conditions** based on annual consumption. - **Technical advice by recovery type**: light (3.5 t), medium (7.5-12 t), heavy (18-26 t), platform, rotating site crane. - **24-48h urgent support** for roadside replacement (a stationary recovery is lost revenue). - **24V series bank sizing** with your maintenance manager — balance between service and cranking capacity. - **Dedicated stock** for ongoing-contract customers. - **Documented technical incident credit**. ## SHD range for recovery Recovery type Typical capacity CCA (EN) Technology Recommended brand Light 3.5 t (car recovery) 1-2 × 110-140 Ah 800-900 SHD EFB Varta ProMotive EFB Medium 7.5-12 t 2 × 180 Ah (24V bank) 1,000 Reinforced SHD Varta ProMotive SHD, Tudor StrongPro Heavy 18-26 t 2 × 220 Ah (24V bank) 1,150 Reinforced SHD Varta ProMotive SHD Intensive-use platform 2 × 220 Ah AGM 1,150 Truck AGM Varta ProMotive AGM Rotating site crane 2 × 180-220 Ah 1,000-1,150 SHD / dual purpose Exide Strong Pro ## Professional service - Recurring scheduled order — no stock-outs in the winter peak. - Per-vehicle delivery note with plate and internal number for fleet traceability. - 24h urgent timelines for roadside breakdown with GPS location. - 24V series bank sizing and alternator health review (a weak alternator kills new batteries). - Used battery collection with authorised waste manager certificate. ## Leading brands - [Varta ProMotive](/gb/batteries-varta) — European OEM reference in industrial vehicles. - [Tudor StartPro and StrongPro](/gb/batteries-tudor) — European manufacturing, excellent value. - [Exide Strong Pro](/gb/batteries-exide) — pro range for intensive duty. ## Request a quote for your recovery fleet Tell us how many recovery vehicles and which types (light, medium, heavy, platform) and your estimated annual consumption.
