Heavy recovery vehicles, specialist car transporters, the latest winches and kit to make the job safer: that was the picture at the fifth, anniversary edition of HOL-EXPO, the Polska Pomoc Drogowa International Roadside Assistance Trade Fair. From 14 to 16 October, Expo Kielce played host to manufacturers, equipment suppliers and roadside assistance specialists from Poland and abroad.

Heavyweight machines for the toughest jobs

Drawing the crowds on the show floor were heavy recovery trucks built on Scania, Volvo, MAN and Mercedes-Benz chassis. Among them there was a 770 hp Scania 770 XT, fitted with six winches and an 18-tonne lifting boom. Also on display were specialist bodywork, car transporter rigs, power hydraulics, and lighting and scene-protection systems for road traffic incidents.

Exhibitors showcasing their products included HEWEA, MASAM, GAMET, PROFISTAL and STROBOS. New launches included a fresh range of professional winches from Presko.

Experts on the costs and safety of roadside assistance

A highlight of the programme was a workshop on ‘Invoicing and Costing Roadside Assistance Services’, run by the Polish Road-Assistance Association (Stowarzyszenie Polska Pomoc Drogowa). Seasoned operators, court-appointed experts and assessors discussed the true cost of a call-out, choosing the right equipment, documenting the work, and how to invoice services correctly.

Case studies of complex recovery operations showed just how much manpower, heavy equipment and specialist know-how the most difficult incidents demand.
