Truck Salvage

At Van Eijck, we use the term “heavy salvage” to describe the recovery of vehicles over 3,500 kg (gross vehicle weight). Unlike passenger car recovery, heavy salvage is complex and demands more than just the right equipment—it requires deep expertise, sound judgment, and years of experience.
Our specialists are extensively trained and operate with precision in even the most challenging conditions. With advanced skills and a professional approach, they ensure every heavy salvage operation is executed safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.

Truck recovery on highway

A truck incident poses a risk to safety and traffic flow. Therefore, the Central Truck Salvage Dispatch Center (CMV), on behalf of the Truck Incident Management Foundation(STIMVA), ensures that the truck is towed away quickly, expertly and safely. To do this, the CMV works with certified salvage companies. Van Eijck is part of this network and, with its truck towing service, provides truck salvage where necessary on all highways in the Netherlands. Are you stranded on an Incident Management road section? If so, we are contractually obligated to issue the order through the CMV to the fastest arriving salvage company, whereby we still offer our customers the service of completely unburdening them in the process.

Trucks don’t stop at borders—and neither do we. Van Eijck specializes in the cross-border recovery and repatriation of stranded trucks and coaches, whether due to technical failure or an accident.
