4x4 stuck in Tividale? Flatbed on the way
4x4 recovery with the deck weight and winch length to lift a loaded Land Rover off a green lane.
From Oldbury to Tividale is 3 miles. Long enough to get the compressor booted, lower the air suspension, and roll a broken Range Rover onto our deck without dragging the bumper.

FAQs — 4x4 recovery in Tividale
Green lane recovery near Tividale?
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 Tividale - 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 Tividale?
Flatbed always. Dolly-towing a full-time 4WD risks transfer box damage.
Do you have the weight capacity for a loaded Range Rover in Tividale?
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.
