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

- Tipper hydraulics stuck up or down

Walmley — what we see on the ground
Postcodes across B76 sit inside the Birmingham City Council area, and light commercial vehicles tend to break down where they are being used — school runs near Walmley Golf Club, deliveries into Wylde Green Road parades, or on detached family homes where a jump-start is often faster than a tow.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Walmley
VAT invoice for the recovery in Walmley?
Yes - included on request.
Tipper stuck in the up position in Walmley - 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 Walmley?
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 Walmley depots?
