MEL-1 Light Vehicle Recovery Mechanism

The MEL-1 is designed for towing various types of vehicles, including vehicles missing one or both wheels, to a service area.

The mechanism is mounted on the truck frame using the standard mounting points. The front or rear axle is lifted by a hydraulic telescopic boom with a pivoting crossbeam and adjustable wheel supports.

The design allows the system to handle vehicles with different track widths and wheel diameters, securing them by the wheels or axle beam.

The MEL-1 includes a hydraulic power unit, control unit and an electric winch mounted on the rear panel of the mechanism. The winch can pull in vehicles that cannot be approached directly.

Manufacturing and configuration are carried out according to the Customer’s technical specification.

Stages of work

  1. 1
    Technical Specification Review
    We review the Customer’s requirements, vehicle parameters and operating conditions and agree on the design.
  2. 2
    Design and Production Preparation
    We develop or adapt drawings and define the materials, components and manufacturing process.
  3. 3
    Cost and Lead-Time Calculation
    Based on the agreed parameters, we determine the cost and lead time for the order.
  4. 4
    Manufacturing
    We perform material preparation, turning, milling, welding and other machining operations.
  5. 5
    Equipment Assembly and Installation
    We assemble the frame, hydraulic boom, crossbeam, wheel supports, hydraulic power unit, electric winch and control system.
  6. 6
    Testing and Delivery to the Customer
    We test the mechanisms, hydraulic and electrical systems, and verify lifting and load securing. The completed MEL-1 is then delivered to the Customer.
