Light commercial vehicle recovery in Acocks Green

Light commercial recovery - tippers, dropsides and box vans handled inside 3.5t plated weight.

Tippers, dropsides and box vans in Acocks Green break down where they are working - building sites, delivery drops, roadside compounds. Our 3.5t flatbed handles the weight and our driver knows to lock the tipper bed before a single strap goes on.

Loading a lcv properly

3.5t flatbed, chassis strap points identified. Weight band: 2.5-3.5 tonnes (dropside, tipper, box van).

Confirm plated weight before we load
Tipper beds always locked down before straps
Dropside sides folded and pinned to reduce overhang

Strapping & tie-down
