Mercedes Sprinter Recovery Camelon – Snapped Driveshaft Recovery to Denny
Another Mercedes Sprinter Recovery Camelon completed by Falkirk Recovery after this large Mercedes-Benz Sprinter suffered a snapped driveshaft, leaving the van unable to continue its journey.
We attended the vehicle in Camelon, safely loaded the long-wheelbase Sprinter onto our 7.5-tonne recovery truck and transported it to a local garage in Denny for further inspection and repair.
Recovery Summary
Vehicle: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Location: Camelon, Falkirk
Destination: Local garage in Denny
Fault: Snapped driveshaftService: Van breakdown recovery
Recovery company: Falkirk Recovery
What Happened?
The Mercedes Sprinter had broken down in Camelon after suffering a snapped driveshaft.
A driveshaft failure can immediately leave a vehicle unable to drive under its own power, meaning conventional roadside assistance isn't going to get the vehicle moving again. Recovery to a garage is normally the safest option.
The customer contacted Falkirk Recovery to arrange Mercedes Sprinter Recovery Camelon, and we attended with our larger recovery truck.
With the Sprinter safely loaded and secured, it was transported from Camelon to a local garage in Denny where the damaged drivetrain could be inspected and the necessary repairs arranged.
Mercedes Sprinter Recovery Camelon
Large vans such as the Mercedes Sprinter require the right recovery equipment.
This particular Sprinter is a long-wheelbase, high-roof van, making it considerably larger than the average car or small commercial vehicle.
Our 7.5-tonne recovery truck gives us the capability to assist with a wider range of vans and commercial vehicles than many smaller car transporters.
Once the Sprinter was positioned on the recovery bed, it was securely strapped for the journey from Camelon to Denny.
Sprinter Driveshaft Failure
The driveshaft forms an important part of the vehicle's drivetrain, transferring power through the transmission system to the driven wheels.
If a driveshaft or associated component fails, the vehicle may lose drive completely. Depending on the nature of the failure, attempting to continue driving could potentially cause additional damage.
With this Sprinter already suffering a snapped driveshaft, recovery was the appropriate option.
Rather than attempting to move the van under its own power, Falkirk Recovery transported it directly to the customer's chosen garage for diagnosis and repair.
