Good to know
King Long 48–53 Seat — FAQs
Can I buy or hire the King Long 48–53 Seat?
Both. Buy new through Bus Stop Sales & Service, or hire a bus without a driver through RedRentals for shutdowns, project start-up or peak demand. If you need buses with drivers or a full bus-in bus-out service, we can introduce you to a trusted operator from our network.
What licence do I need?
The required licence depends on the bus’s final gross vehicle mass (GVM) and configuration. We’ll confirm the licence class when we finalise your build.
What mine-spec kit can be fitted?
Fire suppression, battery isolators, rollover protection, 3-point belts with seat-belt monitoring, alcohol interlocks, warning beacons, UHF radio, reversing and in-cabin CCTV, hi-vis livery and custom dust-ingress solutions — end-to-end fitment by Bus Stop Sales, configured to your site’s requirements.
Do you deliver Australia-wide?
Yes. Vehicles are delivered anywhere in Australia and supported from our Rocklea (Brisbane), Epping (Melbourne) and Auburn (Sydney) facilities, with field service for remote sites.
