Suzuki KingQuads in action at Hayling Island Sailing

Hayling Island Sailing Club put four Suzuki KingQuads to the test for three months last year – and they didn’t disappoint. With a large, busy site hosting over 150 cars, boats and hordes of visitors, including hundreds of children, the club needed a reliable, flexible solution to manage logistics safely and efficiently. Suzuki’s ATVs proved to be exactly that.

 

The versatile vehicles were used for towing boats around the site, as well as transporting fuel quickly and safely. Unlike traditional equipment such as bobcats or tool tracks, which are designed for water access and can be cumbersome on crowded land, the Suzuki ATVs provided fantastic manoeuvrability.

 

“They’re very fuel-efficient, which helped keep both our operational costs and environmental impact low,” John Message, Rear Commodore Finance at Hayling Island Sailing Club, said.

 

“The flexibility and visibility they gave us was fantastic, and their small footprint and agility made it easy for us to navigate through crowds, gates and get to the car park quickly and safely. We also used the ATVs to do a beach clean, which helped us to cover more ground quickly and collect more debris.”
