The FB-5 E is part of Metro’s entry-level flat-bed/rollback truck line, designed to offer a cost-effective but rugged solution for transporting light-duty vehicles. Positioned for operators who need reliable transport without the higher cost of heavy duty recovery equipment, the FB-5 E delivers the essential features of a flat-bed rollback with Metro’s build quality.
Deck rating around 3.6 tons (approx. 3,600 kg) — Metro states the FB-5 series supports this deck rating for light transport.
Flat-bed/rollback configuration enabling loading of disabled cars, light trucks or similar vehicles with relative ease.
Designed as an “entry level” unit in Metro’s flat bed lineup — meaning simpler, more economical chassis and build, while still being “much more than the usual 2 ton trucks.”
Likely includes common flat-bed features such as winch, tie-down points, possibly deck tilt or sliding mechanism (depending on specification) to assist vehicle loading. (In an Alibaba listing for the FB-5 model: winch 4 ton, under-lift tow rating 4.5 ton, deck tilt angle ~15°).
Suitable for fleet operators, vehicle transport companies or light recovery/transport services who need a dependable flat‐bed rather than full heavy‐duty recovery gear.
Transporting light vehicles (cars, small SUVs or light commercial vehicles) from breakdown sites or between locations.
Fleet managers adding cost-effective flat-beds for inter-site vehicle moves, rentals, or towing light loads.
Operators in markets (including India) that want a lighter, simpler rollback truck for more routine transport rather than full accident recovery.
