Cheshire-based horticulture specialist, Beechwood Industries, has welcomed its first 13.5-tonne Isuzu F135.240(E) into its operation. Supplied by local dealer Warrington Vehicle Centre, the new delivery continues a long-standing relationship with the marque that spans nearly two decades.
A new addition to the customer’s 21-strong mixed commercial vehicle fleet, the company’s latest Isuzu features a custom arboriculture tipper body from PD Stevens and Son, which replicates similar bodywork mounted to two of the company’s 14 3.5-tonne Isuzu Grafters. The build features split rear barn doors, for easy collection of green waste from a towed chipper, together with a tool pod behind the cab for convenient, secure equipment storage.
Adam Halford, Director of Beechwood Industries, says: “Warrington Vehicle Centre introduced us to Isuzu in 2017, and we haven’t looked back since. Their trucks have built a great reputation within the arb industry, mainly driven by their outstanding reliability. Within our business, we describe them as bulletproof.
“When we started looking at options for a heavier truck to improve operational efficiency, the Isuzu F-Series was the clear leader, mainly owing to its compact footprint. It gives us an increased payload capacity, meaning fewer trips back to base to empty it, without compromising on the agility we require for our daily work.”
Supplied by Rob Calderbank at Warrington Vehicle Centre, the new truck is expected to cover 13,500 miles annually and be on the road five days per week. It will remain in service for at least five years, with the first three covered by the manufacturer’s unlimited mileage warranty – standard on all Isuzu chassis – which includes 24/7 roadside assistance and access to the company’s Customer CARE Team.
“After 19 years working with Rob at Warrington Vehicle Centre, we know we can rely on them to deliver the right vehicle for the job. Their advice has shown a clear understanding of the needs of our business, and the support we receive from them always makes things easy,” Halford adds.
Alongside its dedicated arb tippers, Beechwood Industries also operates 12 Isuzu Grafters fitted with flatbed bodies, which are used to support the company’s wider landscaping and ground maintenance work.
Founded in 2007, family-run Beechwood Industries specialises in tree surgery and landscaping, together with construction and grounds maintenance services for customers across the North West of England.
