Champfleurie Estates has expanded its distribution fleet after taking delivery of its third Isuzu Grafter 3.5-tonne truck.
Run from an historic 15th century estate in Linlithgow, West Lothian, Champfleurie delivers bagged firewood and other home-produced timber products to customers within a 25-mile radius with the help of the three narrow cabbed Isuzu Grafter N35.120 rigids.
The first Isuzu was bought in 2007 as part of a programme established by the estate to convert its waste wood into a sustainable customer service and the business has expanded ever since.
The latest Grafter has been specified with a bespoke drop side body with a larger carrying capacity than its two predecessors. This enables the 17-plate Isuzu to load two standard builders bags of firewood side-by-side within the body, significantly increasing the amount of firewood the vehicle can carry on customer deliveries. This particular vehicle is also specified with a rear mounted Penny Hydraulics 1200kg crane to facilitate the unloading of firewood at customer’s premises.
