HMT Group
North West England warehouse and logistics business HMT Group is the latest company to operate the Isuzu Grafter 3.5 tonne truck as a driver training vehicle. This is the first Isuzu in the HMT fleet and it’s being used within the company’s Palletline business, not only to train new drivers but also to work on local urban delivery schedules. Mark Gallagher, general manager UK & Ireland, HMT Group, enthuses about the new Grafter: “Whilst we bought the truck initially for driver training, we have subsequently found that the Grafter has provided a major operational benefit. It can get to places that other trucks simply cannot deliver to. Quite simply, buying the Grafter is one of the best things we have done recently. It really does tick all the boxes.” The Isuzu Grafter N35.125 was supplied by local dealer JDS Trucks in Salford and is operating from the company’s Preston head office.
