<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Revolutionising On-Site Maintenance: Technical Surfaces Fleet Expansion</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In a strategic move to enhance their on-site maintenance capabilities, Technical Surfaces Ltd has recently welcomed their sixth 4500kg GVW service van into their fleet. This high-performance van, built on the robust 180hp Fiat Ducato cab, features a lightweight low-floor chassis and body conversion, complete with the reliability of the Fiat Ducato warranty.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Designed to meet the exacting standards of Technical Surfaces Ltd, this versatile vehicle eliminates the need to tow specialised machinery on a trailer, offering the flexibility to go on-site for maintenance directly. The Fiat Ducato warranty ensures peace of mind, providing the company with the confidence to operate at their best.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Equipped with a range of features to optimise functionality, the van boasts a reversing camera system, an integral loading ramp that also doubles as the back door, internal shelving for organised storage, recessed floor-mounted tie rings for securing equipment, side wall-mounted load lock rails, a floor-mounted winch, and a convenient side door for easy access.</p>

<p>Henry Hutchinson, Operations Manager for Technical Surfaces Ltd, explained the decision to partner with AKFS for the vehicle build: "We approached AKFS to build Technical Surfaces Ltd's new vehicles as we needed them to meet our exacting standards. We trialed a 3500kg GVW vehicles from AKFS for 6 months and found operationally the additional payload offered on the 4500kg version to be more beneficial."</p>

<p>Highlighting the ease of use and operational advantages, Hutchinson added, "Drivers also found the vehicles a lot easier to use than the standard panel van and trailer combination which they have historically used. As well as the cost savings of maintenance of just one unit, there is also the benefit of being able to park and maneuver more easily when getting to site."</p>

<p>Supplied by AKFS complete with custom signwriting, these vehicles are ready to hit the road and go into service. The added assurance of a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty from Fiat further solidifies the reliability of these vans, with the dealer network in the UK primarily consisting of Fiat Professional dealers based in Iveco and DAF truck dealerships.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With this latest addition to their fleet, Technical Surfaces Ltd is not only elevating their operational efficiency but also setting a new standard in on-site maintenance, delivering top-notch service to their customers while reaping the benefits of cost savings and enhanced maneuverability.</p>
