Isuzu Recovery Vehicles

One of the most popular chassis used as the prime mover for recovery vehicles is the Isuzu Forward range of heavy duty chassis cabs..

Welcome to the world of Isuzu Truck in the UK with their modular range of vehicles at 3.5, 5.02, 6.2, 7.5, 11, 12, 15 and 18 tonnes GVW.

This range expanded from 7.5 up to 18 tonnes GVW in 2008. The hard-working and established 3.5 tonne model (whether pre-bodied or as a chassis/cab) is known as the ‘Grafter’ range, while all new models above 3.5 tonnes are part of the ‘Forward’ range. For recovery operators the availability of crewcab is a high priority and with Isuzu you have plenty of choice. Factory fitted crewcabs are available on their 3.5, 6.2, 7.5 and 11 tonne models.

All models in the Isuzu range are proven and reliable products which is not surprising when you consider the amount of testing the company does before it launches new products. All new models go through exhaustive testing programmes with prototypes being driven the equivalent of 33 times around the world. The end result means that Isuzu produce durable, practical and reliable trucks and the introduction of Isuzu’s ‘Hexapod’ cab meant increased levels of comfort and safety too.

The only range to offer you:

Seriously safer cabs
Isuzu’s new ‘Hexapod’ cab design is stronger and more robust, meeting stringent crash test specifications. All cabs offer more space, increased comfort and generous storage. Additional features, such as low profile door windows, remove the potentially dangerous pedestrian blind spot, ultimately increasing safety.

A seriously better truck for your money
All the trucks in their range offer the same standard features – including many extras that would only appear as options on other manufacturers’ vehicles.

Reinforced floor structure
Door intrusion bars
Noise suppression
Driver and passenger airbags
Keyless door entry
Central locking
Radio and CD player
Electric windows
Pre-tensioner seat belts

Plus Suspension seats (above 3.5 tonnes); heated mirrors (7.5 tonnes and above) and air suspension seats (11 tonnes and above)

Serious payload
Isuzu has a proven reputation for offering great payload and their products are competitive in all weight categories - in some cases market-leading!

Seriously simpler
Every model uses exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) with Isuzu’s diesel particulate diffuser to meet the latest Euro emissions standards.

The Isuzu chassis can be installed with steel or aluminium slidebeds, lo sliders, twin-deck car transporters bodies or indeed as wheel lifts (spec frames/speclifts).

Their 7.5 tonner is particularly desirable among recovery operators mainly because of its amazing payload both on transporters, wheel lifts and twin deck car transporters.

For further simplicity and convenience, many key parts and components are shared across the range, reducing dealer parts stockholding. This in turn also increases the likelihood that the part you need is always in stock.

Seriously superior service
3 years unlimited mileage warranty is standard on the ‘Grafter’ 3.5 tonnes as well as the ‘Forward’ range vehicles (5 tonnes up to 18 tonnes) – this is market-leading, industry first! This includes
3-years free roadside assistance and recovery if necessary. Plus all customers will receive Isuzu’s industry-leading and unique customer CARE programme
