FAQs — LCV recovery in Harborne
VAT invoice for the recovery in Harborne?
Yes - included on request.
Tipper stuck in the up position in Harborne - 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 Harborne?
We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.
