Isuzu customer Waterloo Hire has strengthened its fleet with the addition of a new N35.125 Grafter, supplied by local dealer Ditchburn Truck Services.

The vehicle replaces a similar 3.5-tonne model from another manufacturer and joins the company's 19-strong mixed fleet, which is predominantly made up of Isuzu trucks.

The newly delivered Grafter features a custom-built Brit-Tipp flatbed body, equipped with a 1.2m platform tail-lift and a fall arrest protection system. It will be used for the delivery and collection of portable toilet units across North Wales and the North West.

Stephen Harris, Managing Director at Waterloo Hire, said: "In the 15 years since our first Isuzu, the Grafter has proven to be perfectly suited to our business, primarily because of the adaptability of the chassis. Alongside the dropsides, we've also mounted tanker bodies to them and they’ve never missed a beat. The payload capacity, especially when pulling a trailer, is also really impressive and is exactly what we need."

Waterloo Hire also operates two 6.5-tonne and one 7.5-tonne Isuzu N-Series trucks—featuring Brit-Tipp flatbeds and tanker bodies custom-built by GK&N Services. When paired with a trailer, these vehicles provide substantial additional capacity for larger jobs.

Harris added: "Another factor that keeps us coming back to Isuzu is the excellent service we receive from Ditchburn Truck Services; they consistently go above and beyond to ensure we feel fully supported. Over the years they’ve built an impressive understanding of our business, meaning when we acquire new vehicles, we always get exactly the right spec and build to suit our precise needs."

The new Grafter is expected to cover around 15,000 miles each year and will remain in service for five years. The chassis is backed by Isuzu's three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes 24/7 roadside assistance and support from the Isuzu Truck UK Customer CARE Team.
