HEAVY vehicle recovery specialist, Sparrow Recovery, has added a Renault Trucks C520 8×4 to its 35 strong mixed fleet. Supplied by Thompson Commercials, this is the first 120 tonne Renault C520 recovery vehicle currently operating in the UK, and joins a T520 tractor unit under a low loader and four Master roadside service vans.
Fitted to a Falkom FAW 25000 ‘powerhouse’ wrecker recovery body complete with crane built in Holland, the new C520 works on heavy recovery for blue-chip contracts across Yorkshire and Europe.
James Sparrow, company director explained why they opted for Renault: “We operate a fleet of heavy recovery vehicles and work with some highly demanding customers, so we only ever buy the best quality equipment. For this vehicle we wanted a high-power 4-axle with a large GTW, strong running gear and a nice cab. The Renault truck fits the bill perfectly, with a high residual value.”
