FAQs — LCV recovery in Winson Green
Tipper stuck in the up position in Winson Green - 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 Winson Green?
We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.
