Catchbags & Liftbags in Action Across the World!!

The catchbag and lift bag system is very popular in continental Europe where speed and efficiency is expected. The lift bags are used to right overturned commerical vehicles, sometimes with the assistance of large capacity lorry loaders (due to their prevalance in Europe) or top booms and rotators in more recent years. You will see that the large capacity lift bags are utilised to do the majority of the work and the recovery vehicles are utilised on occasionaly or to assist past the point of pivot before towing away what is left of the casualty.

Here are examples of the system in use throughout Europe - many thanks to all the towing the companies who have allowed us to use examples of their highly professional work in our gallery!
