UK access platform specialist CPL launched the Isuzu A314 4x4 access platform at the Commercial Vehicle show last week.

CPL says it is the only UK manufacturer authorised by Isuzu to mount an access platform on the D Max chassis, which means the conversion will not affect the vehicle warranty in any way. According to CPL, Isuzu is the only vehicle manufacturer in the UK 3.5 tonne sector to fully authorise an access platform on its chassis.

The unit has a working height of 13.2 metres, an outreach of 6.5 metres, 360 degree rotation and unrestricted basket capacity of 225kg.

Isuzu is the only vehicle manufacturer in the UK 3.5 tonne sector to authorise an access platform be mounted onto its chassis.

‘I am proud that Isuzu has chosen CPL as its access platform partner and I feel our unit will compliment this quality mark,” said CPL managing director Paul Murphy. “The launch at the CV Show was a great success with orders placed and many potential customers to follow up on. This is proof that the hard work and commitment my team has shown over the past years is now recognised. Through our commitment to innovation and quality within the utility sector we have seen a noticeable increase in the number or our units within the workplace over the past months. I believe our products now speak for themselves !”

CPL will be attending Vertikal Days next week and showing both the Hilux A314 and the Isuzu A314.
