Following the “outstanding performance” of its existing Isuzu vehicle, Surrey-based arborists, A Cut Above, have taken delivery of three new 3.5-tonne Isuzu N35.125T LWB Grafters to support the continued growth of its business.
The three long wheelbase chassis cabs represent new additions to A Cut Above’s 15-strong mixed commercial vehicle fleet. Mounted with custom arboriculture tipper bodies from Southern Vehicle Bodies, they include features such as split rear barn doors, which aid in the collection of green waste from a chipper towed behind the vehicle, and collapsable sides that convert the body into a flatbed for transporting larger equipment and loads.
Andrew Phipps, Managing Director of A Cut Above, says: “We’ve been specifying Isuzu vehicles for six years now, in fact we’re still using the first 3.5-tonner we purchased back in 2018. The Grafter is a favourite of our drivers thanks to its exceptional manoeuvrability, with a small turning circle that’s ideally suited to the tight spaces we work in every day.
“We chose the long wheelbase option to maximise loadspace, while the chassis lends itself perfectly to the tipper bodies we use. This combination consistently delivers outstanding performance across the fleet.”
On the road six days per week, A Cut Above’s new Grafters will average 20,000 miles annually and are expected to stay in service for at least 10 years. This longevity is testament to the vehicles’ outstanding reliability and the repair and maintenance support the company receives from its local Isuzu Truck dealer, Cordwallis Group.
“I can’t fault the service we receive from the team at Cordwallis; I can call or drop in at any time and they are always ready and available to help, no matter what it is we need. They deliver a level of support that you rarely see in this industry and are certainly a credit to Isuzu,” Phipps adds.
Like all new Isuzu trucks delivered in the UK, the Grafters are each covered by the manufacturer’s comprehensive three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance for maximum peace of mind.
A Cut Above is an arboriculture and forestry contractor offering services for residential and commercial clients, as well as local authorities and community groups, primarily across Surrey and Hampshire.
