Alpha Recovery

NORTH EAST TO SEE SMALL SCALE RECOVERY!

Customised promotional model trucks specialist, Search Impex, is delighted to announce the release of a 1:50 scale DAF XF MY2017 Super Space 530 (8×4) heavy recovery truck, customised in Alpha Recovery Ltd’s livery.

The models have been produced exclusively for Search Impex by WSI Models as a certificated Limited Edition (155 pieces).

Since incorporation in 1995, Alpha Recovery has grown steadily and successfully over the years and it now boasts an impressive fleet of more than 36 diverse recovery vehicles. It remains a family run business and has evolved to become the North East’s largest specialised rescue and recovery operator, offering a range of services from light recovery through to heavy recovery of vehicles – both on and off road. Additional equipment at Alpha Recovery’s disposal includes crane trucks, forklifts, telehandlers, scrap handlers and JCB’s – all of which can be deployed to assist with clearing up spilled loads.

With its HQ in Dudley, Cramlington (about 7 miles north of Newcastle) and a second depot at Peterlee, it has good road access to major arterial roads in the north east, including the A1 and A19, enabling swift response times when called out to casualty vehicles. The new DAF – on which the model will be based – is latest addition to Alpha Recovery’s fleet. The recovery truck will be stationed at the Company’s Cramlington depot and as with all Alpha’s heavy recovery trucks, it is fully equipped to tow hazardous cargos and operated by drivers who are fully trained to the Institute of Vehicle Recovery standards, as well as having ADR qualifications (ADR being a French acronym relating to the transport of hazardous goods by road).

And just like its real life counterpart, the 1:50 scale die-cast model will be finished in Alpha Recovery’s striking yellow and blue colourscheme, topped off with the fitting registration plate – S55 TUG and so should certainly make for an attractive and interesting addition to any model truck collection.

Models, available from Search Impex, are priced at £148 each (including UK delivery & VAT).
