A-Plant weighs in with first 11-tonne Isuzu03 June 2016

Equipment hire business A-Plant has taken delivery of its first 11-tonne Isuzu rigid, having operated 7.5-tonners for several years, and a second identical vehicle is now on order.

Supplied through dealer Warrington Vehicle Centre, the Isuzu Forward F110.210 chassis has Easyshift automatic transmission and the 4x2 LWB rigid is fitted with a beavertail body.

It is specified to FORS Silver standard, with side scan, reversing cameras, on-board weighing equipment for the axles, as well as Chapter 8 livery and beacons.

“In recent times, we have seen an increasing unladen weight of trucks in general, combined with much heavier plant and equipment that needs to be transported to customer’s sites,” says Shaun Winstanley, A-Plant’s director of transport services.

“This made us look at the heavier Isuzu 11-tonner that has a very acceptable low chassis height and for this operation we are confident that these new Isuzu trucks will follow in the successful footsteps of our previous Isuzu 7.5-tonners.”

The vehicle is expected to be in operation for up to seven years.
