Three new Grafters for Hanover Dairies

Hanover Dairies has taken delivery of three new Isuzu N35.125 Grafters, bringing the total operating across its growing commercial vehicle fleet to more than 90. The 3.5-tonner has become a firm favourite with drivers, after the company made the switch to the Japanese manufacturer in 2020.

The three Grafters have been designed to stand out on the road, with custom-built dropside bodies from Robinson Truck Bodies and a new livery that adopts the look of a classic milk float. Replacing older vehicles, they will make deliveries from the company’s Oxford depot, joining a 130-strong mixed fleet running from eight locations in the North East, North West and south of England.

On the road up to six days per week, the vehicles begin their rounds at 2am – meaning refrigerated bodywork isn’t necessary given typically lower ambient temperatures overnight. They will average anywhere between 8,000 and 30,000 miles annually, depending on their assigned routes.

The new Grafters are supplied with the manufacturer’s three-year unlimited mileage warranty, giving Hanover Dairies access to 24/7 roadside assistance through Isuzu Assist, alongside Isuzu Truck UK’s dedicated Customer CARE team.
