Under the changes, Andover-based KFS Special Vehicles Ltd has increased the maximum payload from 1,600kg to 1,680kg and expanded the number of multi-function models in this low-loading range.

Priced from £19,460 + VAT + delivery, the new Citroen Ready to Run Relay-based KFS Plant & Go range, now includes:

• Plant & Go low-loading flat deck (1,580mm between wheel arches), with a choice of 3.0m, 4.0m and 4.6m deck lengths.
• Plant & Go low-loading beaver tail (1,580mm between wheel arches), with a 3.2m or 3.7m flat deck section.
• Plant & Go low-loading wide track (1,820mm between wheel arches), in flat deck or beaver tail configurations, to suit the largest ride-on mowers.

Robert Handyside, Citroen’s commercial vehicle operations manager, said: 'The expanded and versatile new Plant & Go line-up caters for an even wider range of specialist applications. The new flat deck models will appeal to hire companies and other operators who have to carry all types of small wheeled or tracked plant, as well as other machinery and general items. The wide track model is ideal for ground maintenance applications with its ability to carry large, ride-on mowers and the beaver tail model suits those companies carrying wheeled and tracked plant.'

KFS Special Vehicles is offering the Plant & Go body with a range of options to match operator requirements including a cab top light bar, a Bushey Hall Ramsey 1,500kg capacity electric winch with nylon rope and a secure, full-width storage locker at the front of the load deck to carry strimmers, fuel and other small tools.
