A truck suited to your vehicle
Recovery for small cars, vans and SUVs
Baloch Recovery Services can arrange recovery for running and non-running vehicles. We use the vehicle's size, weight, condition, access and journey details to identify the right truck, loading method and recovery price.
3.5-tonne trucks for tighter roads
Suitable smaller vehicles can be collected with a 3.5-tonne recovery truck where narrow roads or restricted access make a larger truck impractical. We confirm the truck's safe payload and loading space first.
7.5-tonne trucks for larger vehicles
For suitable vans and SUVs, we can check availability of a larger 7.5-tonne recovery truck. The exact vehicle, load, dimensions, access and equipment determine what can be carried safely.
Ditch recovery and winch-out service
Ditch, mud and grass-verge recovery near you
If your car, SUV or van has slipped off the road, sunk into soft ground or become stuck in a muddy field, Baloch Recovery Services can arrange a controlled vehicle winch recovery. We match the truck and equipment to the vehicle's weight, position, ground conditions and access, then confirm whether you need a pull-out only or flatbed transport after the vehicle is freed.

Car ditch recovery
For a vehicle resting in a roadside ditch or down an embankment, we assess the angle, wheel position, body damage and safest pulling direction before a suitable recovery truck is dispatched.
Mud and field recovery
A car stuck in mud may need a steady winch pull rather than more wheelspin. Photos help us assess the mud depth, surface, recovery points and whether the truck can remain on firm ground.
Grass-verge pull-outs
Wet grass and soft verges can trap cars, SUVs and suitable vans. We can check a controlled grass-verge pull-out and arrange onward towing if the vehicle is unsafe to drive.
Send these details for an accurate pull-out quote

The right truck for the position
We check access, vehicle weight and recovery angle before choosing a suitable 3.5-tonne or 7.5-tonne truck and winch setup. If the vehicle cannot be driven safely once it is free, it can be loaded onto a flatbed and transported to your home, garage or another destination.
Safety first: Keep everyone away from the vehicle and winch line. If the vehicle is obstructing live traffic, anyone is injured or there is immediate danger, call 999 before arranging private recovery.
