We are very pleased to announce July's winner is Ben Sainsbury from BHL Plant Repairs with his NPR 55-155 AMT. Ben has scored an Isuzu merchandise prize pack valued at $300 and the chance to be crowned as “King” of the N Series.

Ben Sainsbury of BHL Plant Repairs based in New South Wales is hard at work with an NPR 55-155 service truck with Automated Manual Transmission (AMT) helping to tackle machinery repairs on the job site.

“My Isuzu never fails and it helps me with keeping my business running,” said Ben.

Mobile diesel mechanic repairs have never been more efficient thanks to the capabilities of Ben's NPR 55-155.

ECL CONSTRUCTIONS

In Victoria, Shannon Bentley has entered also entered a NPR 45/55-155 with medium wheelbase, which has been putting in the hard yards for ECL Constructions.

“The custom-built tray and satin black cab wrapped with sign writing makes my Isuzu stand out from all the rest,” said Shannon.

We think so too, Shannon. Take a moment to admire that striking blue and black combination.

BLOWES ELECTRICAL

Blowes Electrical and Dan Blowes from New South Wales have entered this fit-for-purpose NPR 45/55-155 Servicepack X, which brings their equipment, tools and staff to site. Dan's enthusiasm for his Ready-to-Work Isuzu truck speaks for itself.

“Coming from a van towing a trailer regularly to using my NPR Servicepack X, there is just no going back,” said Dan.

“The locking canopy easily keeps all my gear safe around town and the large tray fits all the gear for the bigger jobs or trail bikes on the weekend. It’s amazing value for money with a dependable platform and warranty to back it up.”

TRANZ LOGISTICS

Fred Mohammed from Tranz Logistics has entered this bulletproof Isuzu FYJ 300-350 that’s been matched with a powerful Palfinger crane to create the perfect crane truck package.

With customers undertaking important projects such as pipeline, rail works and civil construction, Fred needs a truck that can deliver heavy equipment on time, without fail.

TRB GAS

Down south, Greg and Tennille Smith from TRB Gas have entered this navy blue FSD 140-260 Auto LWB and have a great deal to say about their fleet's suitability for the task of delivering gas bottles around Tassie.

“As a major gas exchange delivery contractor in Tasmania, we have used Isuzu trucks for nearly two decades,” the duo said.

“We take great care in customising our trays to maximise payload, safety and convenience for on-site deliveries. Our trays include custom pre-delivery chassis lengthening and air-lock systems to keep our load safe during transport. The air locks have been an absolute game changer, securing the load in seconds with the press of a button.”
