Go Plant cleans up with order for 54 DAF LF sweepers03 October 2014

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.
