<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Artisan Hire Expands Fleet with KFS Plant and Go®: Efficiency Redefined</h2>

<!-- /wp:heading -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->

<p>In a move to enhance their fleet capabilities, Artisan Hire has recently welcomed three new Citroen Relay-based Dropside vehicles, equipped with the renowned KFS Built Without Compromise bodywork. This addition complements the existing Fiat Ducato fleet already boasting the innovative Plant and Go® design, marking the ninth successful collaboration between Artisan Hire and KFS.</p>

<p>Chris Comer, representing Artisan Hire, emphasised the seamless integration of KFS solutions into their operations: “KFS understands our needs and has utilised the unique KFS non-slip aluminum floor system and mesh platform lift. This gives us unparalleled versatility and simplicity for the transportation of our equipment. Additionally, with the new generation Euro 5 cabs from Citroen and Fiat, which have resulted in significant fuel savings, we have saved both time and money.”</p>

<p>The KFS <a href="<https://www.advanced-kfs.co.uk/vehicle/plant-and-go/>">Plant &amp; Go® vehicle</a> bodywork is designed with user convenience in mind, facilitating easier and quicker loading and unloading processes. The lowered height allows for standard car license operation, eliminating the need for expensive trailer tests. This not only enhances operational efficiency but also contributes to a better overall cost profile, considering both capital and operating costs, compared to traditional van-trailer combinations.</p>

<p>What sets the Plant and Go® vehicles apart is their lightweight construction, making them the lightest vehicles on the market. This not only translates to fuel efficiency but also positions Artisan Hire as an environmentally conscious player in the plant hire industry. The vehicles are built to endure the tough conditions of the industry, providing a reliable and hard-wearing solution for the demanding environments encountered by plant hire companies.</p>

<p>Ian Knight, Managing Director of KFS, expressed his satisfaction with the collaboration: "The Fiat and Citroen cabs allow us to build a fantastic vehicle that delivers what the client needs and is backed up with the manufacturer's own comprehensive 3-year warranty." This commitment to quality and customer satisfaction underscores the reliability and performance of the KFS Plant and Go® fleet.</p>

<p>As Artisan Hire continues to expand its operations, this strategic addition to their fleet not only showcases their commitment to innovation but also positions them at the forefront of efficiency and sustainability in the competitive landscape of plant hire services.</p>
