Saltley — what we see on the ground

Saltley is a industrial patch and most of our 4x4s callouts here cluster around Saltley Gate and the industrial estate. Access varies from residential streets up to service yards behind the industrial estate, which is why we brief drivers on the specific street before dispatch.

FAQs — 4x4 recovery in Saltley

Full-time 4WD - do you flatbed or dolly in Saltley?

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

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

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 Saltley?

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 Saltley - 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.
