Municipal vehicle hire business Go Plant has ordered 54 DAF LF sweepers, selecting the vehicles for their reliability, operating costs and, it says, feedback from customers.
The new Euro 6 vehicles – 15-tonne and 18-tonne models – have been fitted with both Johnston VT651 and VT801 bodies.
These have heavy-duty, stainless steel bodies with water tank, hydraulically-operated sweeping system and quick-change mechanism for channel and wide-sweep brushes.
More than 90% of Go Plant's sweeper fleet is already DAF vehicles, working 8—12 hours day and in operation for 10—13 years each.
"DAF has been a chosen supplier for many years as we have always been very happy with the reliability and running costs of its vehicles," says Paul Langham, managing director of the Ibstock, Leicestershire-based operator.
"The LF is exactly the right size for its purpose, and our customers prefer it too. So, as we put a real emphasis on working in partnership, if they're happy, then so are we," he adds.
