DESCRIPTION

The NRC sliding rotator wrecker is a dream machine, a tough and versatile unit for recovery
work and extra-heavy towing. Specially designed for the most difficult tasks, the sliding rotator
wrecker lifts loads more easily and quickly than competing models.

This chapter describes the components of the CSR50, CSR65 and CSR85 wrecker models and
lists their technical specifications.

1.1

Description of the wrecker and its components

NRC sliding rotator wreckers are manufactured with the same main components. Only their
sizes and capacities are different. See Section 1.2 Technical specifications for the wrecker
model specifications.

Seven underlift models are available and can be installed on any sliding rotator system model:

l

HD-3

: Heavy Duty – three-stage

l

HDE-3

: Heavy Duty Euro – three-stage

l

SHD-3

: Super Heavy Duty – three-stage

l

LSHDE-3

: Long Super Heavy Duty Euro – three-stage

l

XSHDE-3

: Extra Long Super Heavy Duty Euro – three-stage

l

SSHD-4

: Short Super Heavy Duty – four-stage

l

LSHD-4

Long Super Heavy Duty – four-stage

The following sections outline the chassis, boom and underlift characteristics.
