4x4 recovery in Ladywood

Ladywood — what we see on the ground

Ladywood's urban centre layout means a 4x4 job here could be anywhere from Icknield Port Road corridor to a residential turning near the Birmingham Canal Old Line. Our drivers know which routes take a long-deck truck and which do not — that is the difference between a 40-minute recovery and a two-hour re-route.

FAQs — 4x4 recovery in Ladywood

Broken air suspension in Ladywood - 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 Ladywood?

Flatbed always. Dolly-towing a full-time 4WD risks transfer box damage.

Do you have the weight capacity for a loaded Range Rover in Ladywood?

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 Ladywood?

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.
