The welfare conversion will come complete with standard messing facilities and a toilet plus a range of accessories from a side camera to a complete tow bar step system.
‘Our customers told us that they wanted a lighter and cheaper welfare vehicle so we’ve listened and acted on it,’ commented David Healy, commercial and finance manager.
‘We are delighted to launch our new welfare conversion that not only weighs less than its predecessor but at £9999 it is a very competitive price for a fully-loaded conversion.’
The welfare vehicle also comes with a first aid kit, eye wash station, grab handles and Chapter 8 livery.
‘In particular we wanted to include a side camera because blind spot detection is high on the agenda for fleet operators whose priority is to keep road users safe,’ explained Mr Healy.
To reduce the weight on the conversion, Engineers at Clarks redesigned its layout to cut down on materials and swapped some of the parts they used for lighter alternatives.
The conversion will be available with seven seats on all makes and models of van, and will be built according to Type Approved standards set by the VCA.
Clarks was the first company to achieve National Small Series Whole Vehicle Type Approval from the VCA in 2013 for its welfare conversions across a number of base vehicles.
The drive-away welfare conversion comes with 12 months nationwide aftersales care.
