TRUCK TOWING SERVICE IN Aurich – 24/7

A Dutch driver in an Iveco S-Way pulling a flatbed loaded with wind turbine components was travelling the motorway near Aurich in Lower Saxony on an overcast Wednesday in September when a crosswind gust, common in the flat East Frisian landscape, caught the oversized load and pushed the truck toward the verge. The rear trailer wheels dropped off the tarmac edge first, pulling the whole rig into a slow roll that stopped when the trailer hit the soft embankment. The truck cab remained upright but the trailer was resting at 45 degrees. The driver, unhurt, called LKWHelp24 at 11:05 and the recovery crew reached the scene in 49 minutes.

Truck recovery near Aurich for an oversized load on an embankment required specialist equipment and pre-notification to the Lower Saxony road authority. Our team deployed two heavy recovery vehicles, one to stabilise the trailer from rolling further and one to manage the winch lines. Coordinating with the consignment carrier, we also arranged a crane from Emden to assist with the turbine components.

The Iveco S-Way itself sustained minor front-end damage from the initial verge contact but was otherwise mechanically sound. After four hours of recovery work, the truck was back on the road and the cargo was secured for continued transport toward Wilhelmshaven. 24/7 breakdown assistance in Aurich and across East Frisia is a priority service for LKWHelp24, given the area’s challenging wind conditions.
