Recovery and shunting
During recovery from a ditch, the front axle by the air bellows attachment is a
suitable towing point.
• Recovery from the rear and from the side
Attach the recovery equipment to the body frame when the vehicle is pulled
backwards or sideways.
Alternative procedure for recovery of vehicles on a level surface
Scania recommends lifting under the front axle as close to the suspension
attachment as possible and making lifting as safe as possible by using chains.
The front part of the vehicle can also be lifted under the beam as illustrated
below. The maximum load on the front axle is 9 tonnes. The marked area in the
illustration shows different clamping positions (A, B, C) for the recovery
vehicle drawbeam. Clamps are not supplied by Scania. Extra care should be
taken so as not to damage e.g. water pipes.
