<p>Nestled in the heart of Southport and Formby, Formby Tool Hire stands as a beacon of tradition and service excellence in the tool rental industry. As a family-owned business now in its third generation, the company has thrived on a commitment to providing outstanding customer service and a deep understanding of customer expectations.</p>

<p>With two well-established depots, one in Southport and the other in Formby itself, Formby Tool Hire has been a reliable partner for businesses and individuals seeking top-quality tools and equipment. However, as the business expanded and the demand for light plant equipment surged, the limitations of the traditional 3500kg GVW drop-siders became apparent. The need to tow a trailer for equipment delivery and collection, coupled with the restricted payload, prompted a reassessment of their fleet.</p>

<p>Enter the <a href="<https://www.advanced-kfs.co.uk/vehicle/plant-and-go/>">Plant &amp; Go® range from KFS</a>, a solution that Formby Tool Hire had been eyeing for some time. Witnessing the success of this innovative range with other local hire companies, Formby seized the opportunity when one of their existing vehicles reached the end of its finance term. The purchase of a Plant &amp; Go® truck quickly followed, and the success of the first one led to the acquisition of a second. Both vehicles, based on the Fiat Ducato with the wider body option and a tailgate from KFS, heralded a new era for Formby Tool Hire.</p>

<p>Simon Thomson, Director at Formby Tool Hire, expressed his satisfaction with the decision, stating, "Over the last year, we've seen month-on-month growth, which has been fantastic. It necessitated the purchase of a whole range of new equipment and plant, and the KFS Plant &amp; Go® trucks have been part of that investment. These vehicles offer us a great deal more flexibility in terms of carrying capacity. They are safer from a driver's point of view with regards to loading and unloading, and from initial indications, they are going to prove far more cost-effective to run and maintain."</p>

<p>The strategic shift to KFS Plant &amp; Go® trucks not only addresses the operational challenges posed by the previous fleet but also aligns with Formby Tool Hire's commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry. These trucks, with their enhanced flexibility, safety features, and cost-effectiveness, position Formby Tool Hire for continued success and growth in the dynamic tool rental market.</p>
