Safe recovery of electric vehicles with a salvage container

After an accident involving an electric car, the risk of fire remains, even if the vehicle appears stable. BRL has a salvage container specially designed for the safe recovery of electric cars.

When the situation requires it, we place the vehicle in this container straight away, following a set procedure. If there is a fire risk or the battery pack shows signs of instability, the container can be completely filled with water to prevent a fire. This keeps the risk to the surroundings and the emergency services to a minimum.

Response to spills and environmental damage with our emergency vehicle

Sometimes an accident causes fluids such as oil, coolant or fuel to leak. These substances are not only a danger to other road users, but can also seriously damage the environment.

BRL has an emergency response vehicle that we dispatch immediately to secure the incident and bring the situation under control. Our team cleans the road surface with the right materials and makes sure all harmful substances are disposed of responsibly.

We make sure the area is safe again quickly and that traffic is disrupted as little as possible.

Also available for boat recovery and heavy recovery

For emergencies on or near the water, we can also be called in to recover boats. We have our own crane trucks and equipment to safely raise sunken or damaged boats. Whether it’s a small sloop or a 20-tonne vessel, we always choose the right approach on site.

We also use air cushions to right overturned trucks or buses in a controlled way, with minimal risk of further damage.
