Ward End LCV recovery - tipper, dropside, box van
Light commercial recovery - tippers, dropsides and box vans handled inside 3.5t plated weight.
Light commercial recovery in Ward End means a truck that can carry a plated 3.5t vehicle plus its bed, sides and any residual load - with chassis loops around the right points and nothing anywhere near a hydraulic ram.
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.
