Longstanding Isuzu customer, Waterloo Hire, has taken delivery of a new N35.125 Grafter from local dealer Ditchburn Truck Services. Replacing a similar-spec 3.5-tonner from another manufacturer, it joins a 19-strong mixed commercial fleet comprised primarily of Isuzu vehicles.
The company’s new Grafter is mounted with a custom-built flatbed body from Brit-Tipp, featuring a 1.2m platform tail-lift and a fall arrest protection system. This latest vehicle will support the delivery and collection of portable toilet units across North Wales and the North West.
Stephen Harris, Managing Director for Waterloo Hire says: “In the 15 years since our first Isuzu, the Grafter has proven to be perfectly suited to our business, primarily because of the adaptability of the chassis. Alongside the dropsides, we’ve also mounted tanker bodies to them and they’ve never missed a beat. The payload capacity, especially when pulling a trailer, is also really impressive and is exactly what we need.”
Waterloo Hire also operates two 6.5-tonne and one 7.5-tonne N-Series Isuzu trucks, again featuring both Britt-Tipp flatbeds and tanker bodies, which are all custom built by GK&N Services. When coupled with a trailer, they also offer significant additional capacity for larger deliveries.
“Another factor that keeps us coming back to Isuzu is the excellent service we receive from Ditchburn Truck Services; they consistently go above and beyond to ensure we feel fully supported. Over the years they’ve built an impressive understanding of our business, meaning when we acquire new vehicles, we always get exactly the right spec and build to suit our precise needs,” adds Harris.
On the road at least five days per week, the new Grafter is expected to travel 15,000 miles annually and will remain in the fleet for five years. The chassis is covered by the manufacturer’s three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance and access to the Isuzu Truck UK Customer CARE Team.
Waterloo Hire offers a variety of self-contained portable toilets for construction sites and outdoor events, alongside shower hire, mobile welfare units and septic tank servicing for both domestic and commercial settings.
