Crouch Recovery, one of the UK’s leading vehicle recovery specialists, has taken delivery of their first Renault Trucks C Range 8X4 with an operating capacity of 120 tonnes. The new addition makes a significant milestone in Crouch Recovery’s fleet expansion and reinforces the company’s commitment to high-performance, versatile and environmentally compliant vehicles.
Purpose-built to handle the most demanding recovery operations, the Renault Trucks C has been extensively reinforced. This chassis has been strengthened from the rear of the engine to the back of the chassis, with a reinforced removable front towing cap, transmission cross member, and robust steel bumpers. Equipped with a heavy-duty Optidriver gearbox and a Voith hydraulic retarder, the vehicle offers superior control and braking performance, even at maximum capacity.
“We haven’t had a heavy-duty Renault in a long time, and this new model is a flagship addition to our fleet. It’s the right vehicle for our needs – powerful, versatile, and built to handle the toughest recovery tasks across the UK”. Said Gavin Pike, Operations Director at Crouch Recovery.

Crouch Recovery recognises driver satisfaction, and the new C Range reflects this commitment. The spacious cab is designed with driver comfort and convenience in mind, featuring:
- “Comfort” Drivers Seat: ensures ergonomic support during long shifts
- 7” inch multi-coloured touchscreen display: easy access vehicle information
- Memory Foam mattress and curtains: creates a restful sleeping area
- Refrigerator and Microwave: allowing drivers to store and prepare meals.
- Multiple electrical supplies and ample storage: For flexible use of devices and personal belongings.
“Our drivers are excited – it looks fantastic in our signature orange, and the comfort levels are unmatched. This is not just a workhorse: it’s a premium workspace,” commented Gavin.
The decision to add this high-capacity Renault Truck is part of Crouch Recovery’s strategy to continually upgrade and expand its fleet with high-spec, low-emission vehicles. With full compliance for low emission zones (LEZs) the truck aligns with the company’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint while maintaining robust recovery capabilities.
This vehicle will operate across the UK, serving in a wide range of scenarios from standard breakdowns to specialist heavy recoveries.
The truck was supplied by RH Commercial Vehicles (RHCV), a trusted partner of Crouch Recovery for many years. The two companies’ long-standing relationships are built on quality service, reliable products, and a shared commitment to excellence.
The truck is an important part of Crouch Recovery’s ongoing fleet expansion and has confirmed plans to continue investing in Renault products.
