Lee Hire Expands With Boniface

Lee Hire, one of the South Coast’s most established and respected recovery operators, has expanded its fleet with the addition of a brand-new Boniface Engineering 6-tonne Very Low Approach (VLA) system mounted onto a Volvo 14-tonne chassis. This latest investment reinforces the company’s commitment to providing safe, efficient, and high-quality recovery services across Brighton, Sussex, and the surrounding region. Founded over 30 years ago, Lee Hire has built a strong reputation for dependable roadside assistance, specialist recovery work, and a customer-focused approach. Operating from its base near Brighton, the company has steadily grown its capabilities, combining traditional service values with modern equipment and continuous operator training. Boniface Engineering Ltd, based in Thetford, has been a leading force in the UK recovery industry since 1982. Renowned for innovation, engineering excellence, and robust build quality, Boniface equipment is trusted by operators throughout the UK, Europe and worldwide. Their Very Low Approach (VLA) systems are particularly valued for their exceptionally low loading angles, smooth operation, and versatility—making them ideal for recovering performance vehicles, heavily damaged cars, and those with limited ground clearance. The newly delivered 6T VLA offers enhanced capability, improved operator safety, and increased efficiency. Paired with the Volvo 14-tonne chassis, the vehicle provides outstanding stability, power, and reliability—ensuring Lee Hire can continue delivering high-standard recovery services around the clock. “ We’re proud to continue our relationship with Boniface Engineering,” said a spokesperson for Lee Hire. “Their equipment has always proven reliable, and the new 6T VLA gives our team the tools they need to meet the growing demands of our customers.” Boniface Engineering also expressed their appreciation for the ongoing partnership: “Lee Hire has been a valued customer for many years. We’re delighted to support their fleet expansion with our latest VLA technology and look forward to seeing the new vehicle in service across Sussex.” The new addition is already operational supporting Lee Hire’s busy schedule of roadside assistance, vehicle recovery, and specialist transport work.
