THE QUEENSLAND Government said their newly introduced heavy vehicle response units (HRVUs) will cut average clearance times from over three hours to less than 45 minutes.
The HRVUs have the ability to remove immobilised, rolled or damaged vehicles off major roads. The HRVUs use hydraulically controlled blades to clear road debris and winches and anchor points to assist with rolled trucks.
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh said the introduction of HVRUs will go a long way to reducing congestion throughout South East Queensland, which has seen 176 major incidents involving heavy vehicles over the past year.
The HVRUs will be operational from next month.
