A couple of years ago we bought a S/H wrecker with Boniface Recoverer gear on Our idea was to swap gear onto a fresh chassis. First picture shows wrecker doing
a job the day we picked it up. Anyway have finally managed to recondition gear fabricate new bodywork and remount on a 80 ton Daf chassis the Boniface gear is
rated at 20 ton full exrended still a nice piece of kit

Nice looking truck cossyrec, saw it at detling the other weekend sharp looking body work. Still think the recoverer is the best kit coming out of thetford!
Especially like the stainless name plate on the boom is that permenatley fixed or for shows only??

Hi thanks for comments. That name plate its the first one that costs the money replacements a lot cheaper held on with 8 counter sunk screws. We bought a few .
Boy do they stand out when following with reflective back ground.

Looked even better after NYR guided Danny to the Bling stand for some wheel trims and fitted them at the show

Hi yes thats the one. Before that it belonged to Service Garage and was used on a front page magazine advertisement for boniface. I think it actually started
life before that shorter and without the loading crane and with someone else's gear on. When we bought it we spoke to Mike Boniface and he told us that
when built and for years after it was the best lifter before wheels off they had had

That truck along with my old truck were Westons 2 main heavys
This truck came to us as a f10 we stuck a 12 in it and it was a great truck the concept gear was strong as you will get we considerd a remout but decided on a Trident.The old f12 is still going strong in Dubai doing some crazy lifts. www.aaadubai.com. |

Hi thanks for that site never seen that before. Looks like your truck has had a revamp with the modern minimalistic approach on the bodywork. Yes recognize the
other truck have you seen the write up in our trade magazine about company Who does he think he is kidding

The body was cut off to make it as simple as posible for the guys that would be working it.I dont no the guys your talking about but i tend to take anything
thats said in the mags with a pinch of salt.Its like anything else you get to know whats happening in your own patch and recovery is notorious for slight
rumours and porkie pies.
