Continuing a long-standing relationship with the manufacturer, the company’s latest rigid was selected from the Isuzu Truck UK Driveaway range, ensuring minimal lead time and rapid delivery.

Replacing an identical truck in a five-strong, 100% Isuzu-supplied commercial vehicle fleet – comprised of three 7.5-tonners and two 3.5-tonne Grafters – it features a dropside body from Brit-Tipp, which helps with the loading and delivery of a large range of heavy timber products.

Sean Whalley, Transport Manager for Terry’s Timber, says: “We’ve purchased both heavier rigids and smaller Grafters from Isuzu since we made the switch in 2018. For what we use them for, they’re brilliant, offering both great payload capacity and outstanding manoeuvrability. The option to source a new truck from the Driveaway range is also a huge plus, allowing us to get it on the road and working in double quick time.”

With a selection of pre-bodied vehicles available from Isuzu Truck UK’s bodybuilder partners, the Driveaway range provides customers with a convenient way to simplify the purchasing process.

“The team at Ditchburn really tried to understand our business from the second we started working with them, providing solutions like the Driveaway range to ensure we get the right vehicle, when we need it. They go above and beyond to make it a positive experience and that’s why we keep coming back to Isuzu,” adds Whalley.

As with all of its previous Isuzu vehicles, the latest 7.5-tonner has been supplied with the manufacturer’s three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance, and access to the company’s dedicated Customer CARE Team.

On the road five days per week, it will complete up to 24 local deliveries daily and average 8,000 miles annually for the next five years.
