What Happened?

Falkirk Recovery received an urgent call from a local courier company after one of their Ford Transit delivery vans suffered major engine failure whilst travelling on the M9 motorway.

With the van unable to continue safely, our recovery operator attended promptly and recovered the vehicle from the motorway.

Understanding that the driver's delivery route still needed to be completed, we first transported the Transit to a nearby car park where another company van met the driver. This allowed the driver to transfer their parcels into the replacement vehicle and continue their delivery route with minimal disruption.

Once the parcels had been transferred, Falkirk Recovery then transported the disabled Ford Transit to a local garage where repairs could begin.

Professional Commercial Vehicle Recovery

When a commercial vehicle breaks down, every minute off the road can affect customers, deliveries and business operations.

At Falkirk Recovery, we understand that getting your business moving again is just as important as recovering the vehicle itself.

Whether it's a mechanical failure, engine problem or roadside breakdown, we work with drivers and fleet operators to find the quickest and safest solution while minimising downtime.

Our commercial vehicle recovery service is available 24 hours a day throughout Falkirk and the Central Belt of Scotland.

Safe Motorway Recovery

Recovering a vehicle from a motorway requires specialist equipment and careful planning.

Once on scene, our operator positioned the recovery vehicle safely before carefully loading the Ford Transit onto our hydraulic tilt and slide recovery truck.

After transporting the vehicle to a nearby meeting point to allow the courier to swap vans and continue delivering parcels, the Transit was secured once again and delivered safely to a local repair garage.

By adapting the recovery around the customer's operational needs, we helped keep the business running while ensuring the vehicle reached the workshop safely.
