Light commercial vehicle recovery in Stourbridge

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

From Oldbury to Stourbridge is 7 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.

Stourbridge — what we see on the ground

Stourbridge's market town layout means a lcv job here could be anywhere from Stourbridge Industrial Estate to a residential turning near Stourbridge Ring Road. Our drivers know which routes take a long-deck truck and which do not — that is the difference between a 40-minute recovery and a two-hour re-route.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Stourbridge

Commercial vehicle recovery contract for Stourbridge depots?

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

VAT invoice for the recovery in Stourbridge?

Yes - included on request.

Tipper stuck in the up position in Stourbridge - 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 Stourbridge?

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