FAQs — 4x4 recovery in Digbeth
Do you have the weight capacity for a loaded Range Rover in Digbeth?
Yes - our 3.5t flatbed carries a full-fat Range Rover with roof rack. Above 3.5t plated weight we quote a partnered heavy-recovery truck.
Green lane recovery near Digbeth?
We recover from any legal vehicle-accessible point. If you are down a byway our winch reaches around 30m; further than that and we send a partner heavy-recovery vehicle.
Broken air suspension in Digbeth - can you still load?
Yes - we can boost the compressor to raise it briefly, or load with the vehicle on its bump stops using ramp extensions.
Full-time 4WD - do you flatbed or dolly in Digbeth?
Flatbed always. Dolly-towing a full-time 4WD risks transfer box damage.
