Mobility, Agile, Intimate
Recovery System
Operations and deployments over recent years have allowed EKA Limited to gain deeper understanding of the detailed and nuanced challenges faced by British forces. This includes the developing requirement to support light and medium weight wheeled vehicles in line with the existing repair and recovery philosophy, while utilising smaller, lighter, higher mobility assets.
The EKA Lightweight recovery system has been designed and developed over the last five years to answer this complex requirement.
