Isuzu RTW heads off-road

Isuzu Trucks’ Ready-to-Work (RTW) range has found favour with local operators thanks to the pairing of key model and application-targeted body combinations, while also offering adaptability and capability across a diverse array of environments.

Both on-road and off-road operation are catered for in the light truck N Series RTW range, with All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) and 4x4 models suited to councils, field service providers, mining and exploration, agriculture and the ubiquitous emergency services.

From the NLS 45-150 AWD and NPS 75/45-155 4x4 Servicepack to the NLS 45-150 AWD Tipper and Limited Edition Traypack, the AWD and 4x4 RTW line-up can be counted on in low-traction and off-road driving conditions.

The NLS 45-150 AWD Traypack is a limited-edition model, introduced to provide a real-truck option for trades and team-based council, civil or construction work, operating on slippery sites and unsealed roads.

With the flexibility of its passenger car-licence rating, heavy-duty aluminium tray with headboard, rope rails, load restraint points and drop sides, plus reversing camera, this model is tough to beat and delivers practical and dependable performance.

Available in NPS 4x4 and NLS AWD variants, the Servicepack and Servicepack X models deliver efficient, secure and functional tool and equipment storage – a feature that’s paramount for field service applications.

With availability of AWD or 4x4 drivetrains, and the option of the Servicepack with standard locker body, or Servicepack X with gull-wing access to a central load-area, these models can be set-up for almost any trade or industrial maintenance application.

With central or rear storage areas, accessed via drop-sides, a standard 3500kg rated towbar and reversing camera, access to both the equipment and when manoeuvring the truck is simple and efficient.

NLS 45-150 AWD Servicepack and Servicepack X models are rated at 4.5 tonnes GVM and come with Isuzu’s five-speed manual transmission.

The NLS Servicepack is configured as a crew cab meaning you can not only get your equipment to the job but also the operators.

The RTW NLS 45-150 AWD Tipper is designed to allow operators to get quickly behind the wheel of a truck that can transport material efficiently, wherever they need to go.

With the advantage of added traction in slippery or muddy conditions often found in garden and landscaping supplies yards, muddy worksites or other off-road hard to access areas, the NLS AWD Tipper provides sure-footed progress and while carrying a hefty load.

The Shinmaywa 2.1-cubic-metre steel tipping body with auto-release two-way tailgate, non-slip side steps, shovel rack, rope rails on both sides and a 20-second raise/lower time makes smart work of bulk material loads.

The transmission is the Isuzu five-speed manual with on-demand part-time All-Wheel-Drive.

Isuzu RTW models are feature-packed and the AWD and 4x4 models come fully-kitted and ready to get to work.

The truck and body for all models and backed by Isuzu’s comprehensive three-year warranty, so operators know that they can expect the same Isuzu performance and reliability from the body as they can from the truck itself.
