From the Field
BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE ON THE A40 NEAR ESSEN – TRUCK EMERGENCY AT NIGHT
A steel delivery truck heading through the Ruhr area stopped on the motorway near Essen when the gearbox refused to shift out of second gear. After a few minutes of trying, the gearbox locked completely and the truck was stuck in the middle of a heavy traffic situation. The driver managed to reach the hard shoulder and called LKWHelp24. Arrival time: 26 minutes.
Our North Rhine-Westphalia crew arrived to find a 32-tonne truck with a partially engaged gearbox. The mechanical lock made manual override impossible, and the truck could not be towed in-gear. Our team used an underlift recovery method, raising the drive axle to allow the truck to be moved safely. Traffic on this stretch near Essen and Mülheim an der Ruhr was building, and the police had already placed a lane closure. Our crew worked quickly and cleared the vehicle within 40 minutes of arrival.
Essen is one of the busiest freight corridors in Germany, with constant heavy traffic from Gelsenkirchen, Oberhausen, and Bottrop feeding into the network. Our teams here handle more call-outs per shift than almost anywhere else in our coverage area. Truck towing in Essen is available around the clock, and our response times on the main routes reflect the density of our crew positions. The steel delivery was salvaged with a replacement vehicle, and the original truck was at a specialist gearbox workshop near Gladbeck before the evening shift. Breakdown assistance in the Ruhr is fast because it has to be.
