The latest arrival joins a 60-strong commercial vehicle fleet, replacing an almost identical Isuzu that was one of the company’s first. Mounted with a custom-built dropside body from Brit-Tipp, the new truck features an extra-strong wooden headboard, with sockets in the bed to house up to 10 scaffolding poles. Eight additional heavy-duty D-rings have also been included, ensuring the poles, plus all related equipment and tools, remain secure during transit.

Rob Wills, Fleet Director, says: “We managed to get nearly 20 years of hard graft out of the truck this one replaces, so it was a no brainer to opt for another Isuzu. We’ve returned to Isuzu time and time again as they always deliver exactly what we ask of them.

“We particularly love the N-Series for its proven reliability, small footprint and impressive payload. It’s perfectly suited to the full range of work we carry out across the region, which can often mean having to access sites via tight, winding roads.”

LTC Specialist Scaffolding operates 17 Isuzu trucks, comprised of four 3.5-tonne Grafters, alongside 10 7.5-tonne and four 11-tonne rigids. The latest to join the business is supplied with the manufacturer’s three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance and access to the Isuzu Truck UK Customer CARE team.

“This is the first Isuzu we’ve purchased through Harry Moore Commercials – we turned to them as we were looking for a local dealer which truly understood our business. The team did a fantastic job, working closely with us and the guys at Brit-Tipp to spec the vehicle exactly how we need it. I’m sure the aftersales support will be just as good,” adds Wills.

LTC Specialist Scaffolding, a subsidiary of LTC Group87, operates from three sites in Plymouth, Redruth and Cullompton. Expected to be on the road up to six days per week, the 7.5-tonner will work out of the company’s Plymouth base, providing scaffolding and access solutions to housing developments, large projects, small works, temporary roofing, restoration sites, maintenance programmes and more across Devon and Cornwall.
