The 13.5-tonne F135.240(E) and 7.5-tonne N75.190(E) are both mounted with bespoke-built dropside bodies from TLC Auto Refinishing, specifically designed to withstand the unique weight distribution and pressure points associated with transporting heavy hydraulic equipment. The trucks represent new additions to the company’s mixed commercial vehicle fleet and will support the demanding transport requirements of its growing operations.

William Coyle, Director of Middlesex-based Coyle Equipment Services, says: “We’ve been specifying Isuzu trucks for years, and in these weight categories they have consistently proven to be the right choice for us. Both rigids offer outstanding reliability, with a hugely competitive payload capacity. Our vehicles need to carry heavy and awkward loads, and the Isuzu chassis have always performed.

“We also have a great relationship with the team at Cordwallis Group, which has supported us every step of the way. It’s clear they understand what we need for our operation, working with the bodybuilder for every new build to ensure we receive the right specs to meet our unique requirements.”

Alongside a reinforced deck, the dropside bodies each feature multiple heavy duty lashing points to ensure optimum flexibility and security when carrying different load configurations, alongside a working-at-height fall restraint system for added operator safety.

Supplied by Lloyd James, Isuzu Truck Sales Manager at Cordwallis Group, the new trucks will be on the road up to seven days per week and are expected to travel 50,000 miles annually, remaining in the fleet for at least eight years.

Both chassis have been supplied with the manufacturer’s three-year unlimited mileage warranty, which includes roadside assistance and access to Isuzu Truck UK’s Customer CARE programme with a dedicated representative on hand to provide support for any queries.
