Isuzu tipper capacity suits stone merchant03 December 2020

Achieving a payload of more than four tonne was the main reason behind Bowland Stone adding an Isuzu 7.5 tonne rigid tipper truck to its 15-strong delivery fleet.

Bowland Stone was recently in the market for a new 7.5-tonne truck with an aluminium tipper body, and its prior experience led to the new N75.150 purchase.

“Having operated Isuzus for over 12 years, we were fully aware that they have a distinct payload advantage over their competitors. However, with this latest 2020 model, we were completely bowled over by its unbelievable four-tonne payload capacity. We do not think that any other truck manufacturer could give us such a load potential at this GVW, “said Ian Elston, director, Bowland Stone Group.

Bowland Stone will be running this latest Isuzu out of its main branch in Bristol, delivering loose aggregate, ready mixed concrete, and floor screed to customers in and around the Bristol and Avon area. It, like the other three most recent Isuzus, were supplied and are being serviced by local Isuzu Truck dealer AK Commercials.

Elston continues: “As we operate the Isuzus primarily within the Bristol area, the compact footprint of the trucks, matched to the Easyshift automatic gearbox, has proved to be a really popular combination with our drivers, especially when operating within the tight streets of the Bristol conurbation.”
