Tree Technique stays rooted with Isuzu Grafters

Salisbury-based tree surgeon, Tree Technique, has taken delivery of two Isuzu N35.150 Grafters from local dealer, Ferndown Commercials.

The new Grafters replace the first Isuzu the company took delivery of in 2014, as well as a similarly sized vehicle from another manufacturer. Both have been fitted with arboriculture bodywork from Brit-Tipp to support the business’s day-to-day operations.

Lee Hibbs, Managing Director at Tree Technique, says:

“Our first Grafter was the most reliable vehicle in our fleet for 12 years, so when it came time to replace it, choosing Isuzu again was an easy decision. It gives us the payload, durability, and towing capacity we need for the work we do every day.

“We specified this model to make the journey between jobs more comfortable for our three-person crews. Ferndown Commercials also fitted a reversing camera for added safety and convenience on customer sites. They took the time to understand our requirements and recommend a specification that meets our needs perfectly.”

The 3.5-tonners are expected to cover 25,000 miles annually, transporting teams, equipment, and green waste. The vehicles were supplied by Dale Johnson at Ferndown Commercials and feature specialist arboriculture bodywork designed to operate with a towed chipper unit, enabling the business to efficiently collect and clear waste generated during tree maintenance and site clearance projects.

The vehicles are expected to remain in the seven-strong fleet for five years. For additional peace of mind beyond the standard three-year unlimited-mileage warranty, the company chose an Extended Warranty and Free Servicing Package to cover new vehicles in service.

Founded in 2004, Tree Technique offers upkeep and removal of hedges, stumps and trees, as well as site clearance and ash dieback services for commercial sites and homeowners across Wiltshire.
