Heavy-haul tow trucks, including this Scania based on the T-142 bonneted chassis are suitable for the recovery and removal of cars and vans of different sizes. Unlike the platform trucks on which vehicles are placed on a special surface, heavy-haul types like this Scania often used hydraulic booms. These outriggers enable them to pick up wrecked cars from impassable terrain, to stabilise them and safely transport them away.

The cladding round the pick-up boom of the Scania 142 H conceals stowing compartments of various sizes for tools and bulky spares. The sphere of operation of the Scania is not limited to made-up roads, but includes, according to circumstances, off-road terrain, building sites and even paths through fields and woods that are difficult of access. To protect it against undergrowth this three-axle salvage truck of Swedish manufacture has a robust ram shield incorporating a powerful winch-pull to enable it to remove vehicles from in front of it.

The diesel engines of the Scania each deliver up to 500 hp according to the equipment carried.
