Light commercial vehicle recovery in Amblecote

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

From Oldbury to Amblecote is 6 miles. On a commercial vehicle job we ask plated weight and load status on the call so the right truck arrives - not the wrong one that then has to leave and come back.

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

Chassis loop straps only - never through hydraulic tipper rams.

Amblecote — what we see on the ground

Postcodes across DY8 sit inside the Dudley MBC area, and light commercial vehicles tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near the Redhouse Glass Cone, deliveries into Coalbournhill, or on glassworks conversions where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Amblecote

Commercial vehicle recovery contract for Amblecote depots?

Yes - fixed rates by postcode, single invoice per week. Ring the office to set up.

VAT invoice for the recovery in Amblecote?

Yes - included on request.

Tipper stuck in the up position in Amblecote - can you recover it?

Yes but the bed has to come down first. We carry a hand pump and know the emergency descent procedure on the main tipper makes. If it will not come down we flatbed with the bed supported.

Loaded LCV over plated weight in Amblecote?

We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.
