Wagon Springs breaking

[angiebeau]

I have a 54 plate wagon which i have carefully looked after only doing 20,000miles
It's a 3 horse iveco, 7.5ton made by solitaire
At the weekend both front srings completely broke off
Has this happened to anyone else?
Does anybody have any answers?

Asked my husband who had an engineering factory and he said it just might be you had a bad batch of metal.
(too brittle) or perhaps the brackets were slightly loose and it caused metal fatigue..

Do you mean the springs of the chassis or ramp springs? Either way I would take it back to Solitaire they are back in bussiness again.
