Plant Hire Vehicles Testimonial

"Plantool have been operating a Plant & Go vehicle for some 18 months now and have found the unit to be particularly flexible with regards to the deck height for loading and unloading of the full range of equipment we offer.

One Community Choose KFS Freedom Minibus

13-Jun-2010

One Community Transport, based in Eastleigh Hampshire has taken delivery of two KFS Freedom minibuses. The organisation operates sixteen minibuses in total which are a combination of van conversions and coach built low floor vehicles and works closely with both Hampshire County Council and Eastleigh Borough Council, to provide a wide range of transport services.

The two new Freedoms based on the Fiat Ducato with the comfortmatic (automatic) gearbox have been specified with fifteen Rescroft Defender 3 passenger seats which are either removable or fold away, a Ratcliff RUL300A fully automatic cassette passenger lift, and a Eberspacher D4L saloon heater.

Paul Rollison (Senior Operations Manager), said "having had a Freedom on demonstration for a week, we decided on these 2 vehicles to take the option of a cassette lift, while still benefiting from the excellent low access at the front of the vehicle. We were cautious of how our drivers would get on with the automatic gearbox, but having had the demonstrator, the auto box received only positive comments.
The vehicle will be used mainly on Day Centre work, but has the flexibility which is so important to us as an organisation to cover the whole range of services we offer".
