Boldmere LCV recovery - tipper, dropside, box van
Light commercial recovery - tippers, dropsides and box vans handled inside 3.5t plated weight.
Tippers, dropsides and box vans in Boldmere 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.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Boldmere
Tipper stuck in the up position in Boldmere - 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 Boldmere?
We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.
