Eight New Isuzu Trucks Expand L Lynch Plant Hire and Haulage’s 7.5-tonne Delivery Fleet

Nationwide provider of plant and transport, L Lynch Plant Hire and Haulage has taken delivery of eight new Isuzu N75.190(E) trucks with plant bodies, supplied by local dealer Cordwallis Group, as part of a major expansion of the company's 7.5-tonne plant delivery fleet. A longstanding Isuzu Truck customer, the company has been operating the Japanese marque's 7.5-tonners for around a decade. Having been consistently impressed by their performance, this latest investment increases the number it operates to 11.

They will be used to help reduce customer delivery times, especially to construction sites with limited space or on tight urban streets. Stephen Bremner, Fleet Director of L Lynch Plant Hire and Haulage says: "We've always had a few Isuzu trucks in our fleet, but as the plant hire side of the business has continued to grow, we needed a reliable 7.5-tonner to support that growth. The N-Series' manoeuvrability, payload capacity and customisable chassis makes it the ideal choice."

All eight vehicles feature bespoke bodywork from Solent Body Builders, which include a custom plant body and beavertail with alloy lift ramps, a front mounted toolbox and a working at height safety system. This versatile configuration allows for the safe and efficient loading of a varied range of plant machinery, alongside secure storage for small electrical tools. "The 7.5-tonners are perfect for the collection and delivery of plant to our customers.

We received great support from Cordwallis and the bodybuilder to develop a system that takes full advantage of the narrow footprint and durability of the chassis, while prioritising driver safety and ease of use," adds Bremner. On the road five days per week and expected to cover up to 40,000 miles annually, the vehicles join a 300-strong mixed commercial vehicle fleet and will be distributed to the company's depots across the country. All servicing and maintenance will be managed within Isuzu Truck's dealer network, with Cordwallis Group taking care of those vehicles based in Hemel Hempstead.

The customer will also benefit from the manufacturer's three-year, unlimited mileage warranty which includes 24/7 roadside assistance, alongside access to the Isuzu Truck Customer CARE team.

For 45 years, L Lynch Plant Hire and Haulage has provided plant hire and transport solutions for the construction industry across the UK, including on a range of major infrastructure projects.
