Towing or recovery operations often require assistance from a second similar or heavier class vehicle when the vehicle being towed cannot be moved its own power. These types of recovery operations must be done safely and securely in order to ensure the safety of both vehicles and personnel.

When a recovery operation requires assistance from a second vehicle, the likely scenarios include a vehicle being stuck in mud or sand, a vehicle being submerged in water, or a vehicle that has been involved in an accident where it needs to be moved out of the way. In each of these scenarios, the most effective way to move the vehicle is to use a winch, cables, chains, or a combination of these items.

When performing a recovery operation that requires assistance from a second vehicle, it is important to choose the appropriate class of vehicle for the job. If the vehicle that needs to be moved is relatively light, then a lighter class vehicle can be used. However, if the vehicle is heavier, then a heavier class vehicle should be used for the recovery operation. The second vehicle should also be strong enough to pull the first vehicle being towed and have the appropriate safety equipment.

The recovery process should always include proper safety measures in order to protect both personnel and the vehicles involved in the operation. The vehicles should be inspected to make sure they are in good condition before starting the recovery operation. Safety chains must be used to secure the vehicles together and the cables, chains, and winches should be inspected for any visible damage or signs of wear. When the recovery operation is finished, all the safety equipment should be removed and the vehicles should be driven safely back to the garage.

Recovery operations that require assistance from a second vehicle can be a difficult and dangerous task. However, with the right safety measures in place and the proper class of vehicle being used, these types of operations can be completed safely and securely.
