Emergency response · Stranded now?

Get the right HGV roadside help moving towards you.

HGV247 helps drivers and transport teams find mobile commercial-vehicle specialists by fault, vehicle and location. It is a directory and request service, not the recovery operator: timings and prices are agreed directly with the chosen provider.

Direct contact

HGV247 adds no commission or consumer fee. Confirm attendance, ETA and pricing with the provider you choose.

When this service may help

  • Vehicle will not start
  • Warning light or loss of power
  • Air, brake or electrical fault
  • Unsafe to continue the journey

Useful information to send

A clear first message saves diagnostic time and helps a provider bring the right equipment.

  • Road name, direction of travel and nearest junction
  • Vehicle make, model, registration and load status
  • Dashboard warnings, visible leaks or unusual noises
  • Whether the vehicle is in a live lane or other dangerous position

Safety comes first

If there is an immediate danger, injury, fire, spill or live-lane obstruction, contact the emergency services or the relevant road operator before arranging a mechanic. Follow your employer's breakdown procedure and do not attempt a repair in an unsafe location.
