Boleyn Recovery asks the question, ‘Is this Heavy Recovery Truck like Marmite to you?

Our longstanding partnership with Boleyn Recovery and their decision to purchase from us yet again, reinforces Boniface’s position as a trusted provider of high-quality recovery vehicles to the industry. Being trusted by Boleyn to deliver their technical aspiration for this build demonstrates our ability to work together to create the right vehicle for the job, and something very individual.

Boleyn Recovery & Fleet Services have taken delivery of their new DAF XF 530 fitted with a Boniface 9055 Recoverer, and it’s already turning heads in the recovery industry. This vehicle has been designed in collaboration with Boniface to push capability further and introduce several features that we believe are a genuine first for a truck of this type.

The vehicle is fitted with twin 50,000 lb main winches and RXP deployable legs, each equipped with 35,000 lb winches. The RXP’s winches can also be deployed to the rear of the vehicle via additional fairleads mounted on the top boom, allowing for rearward pulling and stabilisation when required.

The aim of the build was simple: increase lifting and pulling capability while improving operational flexibility for complex recoveries.

One of the most noticeable design changes is the body profile. Traditionally, recovery vehicles feature a stepped-down body behind the boom. On this truck we deliberately broke that convention and designed the body to remain level along the top.

The purpose of this was to maximise stowage capacity and reclaim valuable storage space that would otherwise be lost with the installation of the RXP system. It’s a different look, and it’s already generating mixed feedback across the industry — but for Boleyn the increased equipment capacity and practicality made it the right decision.

The second unique element is the control system. The truck has been fitted with two independent remote-control systems — one operating the standard recovery equipment and the other dedicated to the RXP legs and winches. This allows operators to work more efficiently on complex recoveries and is believed to be the first time this configuration has been fitted to a Boniface Recoverer.

The truck was built with one goal in mind: to give Boleyn Recovery even greater capability when dealing with large and complex recoveries on behalf of our customers and we have achieved it!

So, the question remains…

Is it Marmite to you?
