Construction firm chooses Isuzu Grafters

with the company turning to the Japanese manufacturer for the first time following a search for improved reliability and better aftersales support. Replacing older vehicles in Hilton Main Construction’s 90-strong mixed commercial fleet, the new Grafters feature a Brit-Tipp tipper body with steel underfloor for the transport of building materials, together with an ultra-secure tool pod designed to safely store equipment.

Alan Degg, managing director for Hilton Main Construction, said: “We had been disappointed with the performance and level of service from our previous vehicles, so we decided it was time to look for something different. The team at Aquila demonstrated how the Grafter could provide us with exactly what we were looking for – and they were right. We’ve been immediately impressed by the level of communication and support we’ve received and the vehicles themselves have slotted seamlessly into our operation.”

With a towing capacity of up to 3.5-tonnes, the new Isuzu Grafters will be used to deliver materials and small plant, including mini excavators, to sites across the Midlands. On the road seven days per week, they will clock up around 12,000 miles annually and are expected to stay in operation for at least four years.
