Ladywood 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 Ladywood 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.
Ladywood — what we see on the ground
Around Brindleyplace the light commercial vehicles we recover in Ladywood tend to be on canal-side apartments — narrow approach, parked-both-sides, and the odd height barrier over a service road. We plan the truck route before it leaves the yard.

- Tipper hydraulics stuck up or down

FAQs — LCV recovery in Ladywood
Loaded LCV over plated weight in Ladywood?
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 Ladywood depots?
Yes - fixed rates by postcode, single invoice per week. Ring the office to set up.
VAT invoice for the recovery in Ladywood?
Yes - included on request.
Tipper stuck in the up position in Ladywood - 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.
