Waterloo Hire has strengthened its commercial vehicle fleet with the addition of a new Isuzu N35.125 Grafter supplied by local dealer Ditchburn Truck Services.
The vehicle replaces a similar 3.5-tonne model from another manufacturer and joins a mixed 19-strong fleet made up primarily of Isuzu trucks.
The new Grafter features a custom-built flatbed body from Brit-Tipp, complete with a 1.2m platform tail-lift and a fall arrest protection system.
It will be used to support the company’s delivery and collection of portable toilet units across North Wales and the North West, forming part of Waterloo Hire’s expanding operations in the region.
Stephen Harris, managing director of Waterloo Hire, said: “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 Isuzu N-Series trucks with Brit-Tipp flatbeds and tanker bodies custom-built by GK&N Services, offering additional capacity for larger deliveries when coupled with a trailer.
Harris added that continued loyalty to the Isuzu brand is reinforced by the service received from Ditchburn Truck Services.
He said: “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.”
Expected to travel around 15,000 miles annually, the new Grafter will remain in the fleet for five years. The chassis is covered by Isuzu’s three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance and support from the Isuzu Truck UK Customer CARE Team.
Waterloo Hire provides portable toilet units for construction sites and events, as well as shower hire, mobile welfare units and septic tank servicing for domestic and commercial customers.
