Two New Flat Floor Sprinters for a Returning Scottish Local Authority
We are proud to announce the completion of two specialist Flat Floor conversions, based on the Mercedes Sprinter L4H2 517, for one of our valued returning customers - a Scottish local authority.
These latest builds represent our 11th and 12th conversions for this valued customer, continuing a partnership that began nearly a decade ago. Their very first vehicle was converted by us back in 2016, and we are proud to keep supporting their fleet with bespoke solutions tailored to their needs.
Some of the local authority’s previous accessible conversions over the years.
What Will the Vehicle Be Used For?
The vehicles have been converted to support a wide range of services across the region. They will play a vital role in home-school transport, ensuring safe and comfortable journeys for students, while also providing accessible transport for elderly and disabled passengers. In addition, they will serve the community through the authority’s dial-a-bus service, offering independence and mobility to those unable to use standard public transport.
The Stanford Coachworks Conversion
Each conversion has been designed with both practicality and passenger comfort in mind. The vehicles can accommodate up to 15 passengers plus driver or 5 wheelchairs, and feature a PLS internal tail lift with automatic DoorSafe for secure and efficient boarding. The defining feature of these Mercedes Sprinter is our specialist Flat Floor design, which eliminates all wheel arch intrusions in the rear saloon. This innovative design maximises usable space in the passenger saloon, allowing for additional seating and wheelchair capacity.
