Low Floor Vehicles for Grounds Maintenance
ou will have seen them , you
Y probably don ’ t know what they are called , but we ’ re pretty sure , you will have seen them around . We are of course referring to our Plant & Go ® range of Grounds Maintenance vehicles .
The Plant & Go ® is somewhat distinctive , in fact , there ’ s no other vehicle quite like it . Much like its sister vehicle , the Load & Go ®, the Plant & Go ® was designed and built with the end-user in mind . When designing the Plant & Go ® vehicle , the AKFS design team quickly realised the challenges that many modern-day grounds maintenance and commercial lawn care specialists encountered regularly . The AKFS vehicle designs go a significant way in irradicating those challenges and have proven over time to increase operational efficiency and improve upon operator Health & Safety practices .
Both the Load & Go ® and the Plant & Go ® vehicles have been designed at their core to carry commercial and specialist lawn mowers , complete with cutting decks with absolute ease ; as well as , all of the additional equipment a busy grounds maintenance team would require on a daily basis .
Each vehicle type is completely bespoke to the end-users requirements and can be built as such . Standard equipment includes a lightweight slip-resistant floor and operative handles . Optional extras include – mesh sides , raised storage pods , spring assisted tailgates , floormounted tool vaults , and even remote control winches .
Both types of vehicles are built upon base chassis ’ with a Gross Vehicle Weight no greater than 3500kg ; they can be driven by anybody over the age of 18 that has a standard UK full driving license , and as a trailer is now not required , nor does the driver have to hold a trailer license . Although based on vehicles of 3500kg GVW , each design returns a payload generous enough for the job at hand , and being a single-vehicle with no trailer attached , they are extremely maneuverable and very easy to drive , loaded or otherwise .
If you need a vehicle that requires a higher gross vehicle weight , that ’ s no problem either . AKFS have over 30 years experience manufacturing premium quality specialist vehicles that provide an excellent return on investment .
