Tippers, dropsides and box vans in Kings Norton 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 Kings Norton

VAT invoice for the recovery in Kings Norton?

Yes - included on request.

Tipper stuck in the up position in Kings Norton - 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 Kings Norton?

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

Commercial vehicle recovery contract for Kings Norton depots?

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