TRUCK TOWING SERVICE IN Beckum – 24/7

A Ukrainian driver hauling steel coils on a Volvo FH flatbed was travelling the A2 near Beckum in North Rhine-Westphalia on a foggy November morning when a multi-vehicle pile-up ahead caused traffic to stop without warning. The Volvo FH ran into the back of a stationary van and the impact pushed the front axle up and to the left. The cab nose hit the van’s tow hitch at bumper height, destroying the front grille, both headlamps, and the bonnet. LKWHelp24 was called at 07:28 and arrived in 33 minutes.

Accident recovery near Beckum on the A2 with steel coil cargo is always a priority because unsecured coils pose an extreme safety risk. Our first action was to inspect the load securing. All coil cradles were intact and the tie-down straps had held. With the cargo safe, attention turned to the front-end damage on the Volvo FH. The cab nose geometry was compromised enough that both front wheels had toed in, and the truck could not be driven forward.

We fitted a steering axle dolly and extracted the Volvo FH backwards off the pile-up site, which North Rhine-Westphalia police had partially cleared by the time our crew was ready to move. Truck towing in Beckum continued to a repair yard near Ahlen, and the steel coils were transferred to a replacement vehicle the same afternoon. Breakdown assistance for heavy commercial vehicles on the A2, B475, and B58 near Beckum is a key part of our 24/7 service.
