Wordsley LCV recovery - tipper, dropside, box van
Light commercial recovery - tippers, dropsides and box vans handled inside 3.5t plated weight.
Light commercial recovery in Wordsley 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.
Wordsley — what we see on the ground
Around the Red House Cone the light commercial vehicles we recover in Wordsley tend to be on residential streets — narrow approach, parked-both-sides, and the odd height barrier over a service road. We plan the truck route before it leaves the yard.

FAQs — LCV recovery in Wordsley
Loaded LCV over plated weight in Wordsley?
We arrange a partial transfer to another vehicle first. We will not carry an overweight LCV - it puts our operator licence at risk.

VAT invoice for the recovery in Wordsley?
Yes - included on request.
Tipper stuck in the up position in Wordsley - 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.
