Dudley Port — what we see on the ground

FAQs — 4x4 recovery in Dudley Port
Broken air suspension in Dudley Port - 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 Dudley Port?
Flatbed always. Dolly-towing a full-time 4WD risks transfer box damage.
Do you have the weight capacity for a loaded Range Rover in Dudley Port?
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 Dudley Port?
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.
