It is equipped with multiple high-capacity winches (for example, some units are listed with four 25,000 lb winches) giving strong pulling capability.
-
Configured for sliding boom and possibly a multi-stage underlift system. One listing mentions: “2-stage boom, sliding boom configuration, 3-stage under lift.”
-
The unit’s underlift (or wheel-lift style) rating for some configurations is cited around 22,000 lb (approx. ~10 ton) in one listing.
-
The model appears in the Rotators category on Metro’s website: RTR-25SL listed among other RTR models.
-
One source indicates heavy-duty iron construction and heavy traction load-range E tires designed for high loads.
Typical Applications
-
Accident recovery especially where the vehicle(s) may require rotation, repositioning, or heavy hauling.
-
Fleet recovery operations where time, manoeuvrability and capacity are critical.
-
Commercial towing businesses that require a rotator capable of complex lifts and rotates rather than just basic tow/flatbed.
-
Situations where 360° boom rotation and strong winching/pulling capacity are required (e.g., buses, large trucks, heavy equipment).
