Auction car collection to Handsworth
Auction lot collection with gate pass, payment slip and a photo record before it leaves the yard.
Auction lots into Handsworth come in three flavours: runner, non-runner and salvage. All three need slightly different handling and paperwork. We ask on the call, send the right truck, and photograph everything before leaving the site.
Handsworth — what we see on the ground
Around Soho Road the auction vehicles we recover in Handsworth tend to be on small workshops — narrow approach, parked-both-sides, and the odd height barrier over a service road. We plan the truck route before it leaves the yard.
Common auction callouts we see in Handsworth
- Non-runner lot - dead battery / no fuel / mechanical failure
- Missing V5 - collection paperwork covers movement to your address
- Lot listed as driveable but actually isn't - we plan for winch either way
- Salvage-grade damage requiring careful loading
- Prestige lot needing low-loader not standard flatbed
Loading a auction properly
Matched to lot type - flatbed or low-loader. Weight band: Depends on lot - car to LCV.

- Photo record on the auction site before loading - front, rear, flanks, damage
- Winch on for non-runners, drive on for confirmed runners
Key handling & tow mode
One key per lot usually - we log it before leaving the yard.
Strapping & tie-down
As per vehicle class; auction cars often non-runners so plan to winch.
