Hi Way Express goes for Isuzu 7.5 tonne radius roof rigids 01 February 2011

Three new Isuzu 7.5tonne rigids have joined the fleet of Hi Way Express, distributing home delivery products on behalf of electrical manufacturers and e-commerce businesses.

Craig Kavanagh, home delivery director at Hi Way Express, says that Isuzu came out as "the best and most practical option", given the requirements of home delivery operations.

"Our operation involves intensive, daily delivery schedules to residential properties that often have restricted vehicular access," he explains. "In terms of the overall dimensions of the vehicle, especially with Isuzu's cab size, the Isuzu product is the ideal choice for this application."

Hi Way Express went for the N75.190, specified with the Easyshift automatic transmission and fitted with aerodynamic radius-roofed bodies manufactured by Aire Truck Bodies. They were supplied on five-year contract hire from HillHire, with full maintenance.

Says Kavanagh: "Each vehicle [is] involved in a high number of stop/start, door-to-door deliveries. So far, the new Isuzus have been excellent, performing well and with no operational issues… The combination of the Isuzu chassis/cab with the radius-roof Aire body is aesthetically pleasing and enhances our striking well known livery."
