Auction lot delivery into Great Barr - gate pass and paperwork handled
Auction lot collection with gate pass, payment slip and a photo record before it leaves the yard.
From Oldbury (8 miles from Great Barr) our auction collection service runs seven days. We know the yard cut-off times, we know which lots need a low-loader vs a flatbed, and we do the paperwork on the gate so you do not have to.
Loading a auction properly
Matched to lot type - flatbed or low-loader. Weight band: Depends on lot - car to LCV.
- We arrive with the gate pass and payment slip on file
- Photo record on the auction site before loading - front, rear, flanks, damage
- Winch on for non-runners, drive on for confirmed runners
Strapping & tie-down
As per vehicle class; auction cars often non-runners so plan to winch.
