STA's Volvo tow truck STA-001 attends a defective 1159 in Foveaux St this morning
Amazing what one stumbles across when one's regular m50 doesn't turn up, and one has to catch a slightly later 391 to get to Central. The truck pulled up just as I got off the bus

I have observed it once while driving, it's huge compared to the older tow trucks.

Re: OPS 100
I was surprised at the length when I saw it.
Perhaps it is this way to balance the load when towing, it does an Eka type boom on the back which I assume could lift a low floor bus.

Probably to handle the bendie fleet. That Volvo would have a lot of torque.Ben_Daui wrote:I have observed it once while driving, it's huge compared to the older tow trucks.
NSW, the state that embraces mediocrity.
