Isuzu Snow & Ice Removal Trucks – Built for Municipalities

“The best fit for municipalities for snow and ice removal with Isuzu is the Class 5 NRR Series Truck,” says Justin Carlson, a representative with Isuzu Trucks. “At 19,500 GVWR, no CDL is required, making it easy to operate. This truck also provides additional weight capacity for the salt you’ll need to carry in the hopper.”

Besides its ease of operation, the Isuzu truck’s low-cab-forward design ensures more cargo space for the same overall length compared to conventional trucks, along with unmatched maneuverability. This design enables drivers to navigate through tighter spots more efficiently. Furthermore, the Isuzu Hexapod cab is designed to maximize interior space and comfort, ensuring that drivers have a pleasant and productive work environment.

Carlson emphasizes, “This non-CDL vehicle is accessible to any municipal driver. The windshield offers clear vision, allowing the operator to see the entire plow and maintain visibility all around. Additionally, the truck boasts an excellent turning radius, a key feature of Isuzu trucks.”

Isuzu trucks also excel in terms of driving efficiency. With 16 feet of additional ground visibility compared to conventional cabs, drivers can reduce the number of three-point turns required, thus saving valuable time on their routes. This capability allows for quicker navigation through various locations, improving overall productivity.

“This model comes equipped with a 6.6 GM 350 horsepower engine and an Allison 1000 series transmission,” Carlson explains. “Municipalities interested in the truck can visit their local Isuzu dealer, specify their requirements, and the dealer will assist in setting them up with a body company and upfitter. Often, upfitters already have the necessary units available or blueprints tailored to customer needs. If not, many upfitters can build to the customer’s specific requirements.”

Isuzu also highlights the cost-efficiency of ownership through its Priority Service Maintenance Program. This program allows municipalities to prepay for their maintenance needs, helping them to better manage transportation budgets while ensuring that their trucks remain in peak condition.

 

For added reliability, Isuzu trucks come with comprehensive warranties that reflect the company’s commitment to quality. Extended warranties are available to safeguard investments for up to five years or 150,000 miles, depending on the model. With Isuzu’s proven track record as the best-selling low-cab-forward truck in America since 1986, municipalities can trust in the long-term durability and dependability of these vehicles.
