Sydney-based plumbing company, Pink Fish Plumbing, has taken delivery of a new Isuzu NLR 200 truck to service its clients in the metropolitan area, as well as the surrounding suburbs. The truck is fitted with a special high-pressure water jetting system.
According to Brett Parson, who co-owns the business with wife Kelly, the new NLR 200 model is ideal for manoeuvring through Sydney’s tight streets.
“The areas I work in require a small vehicle, as the streets are very narrow, such as Balmain and Paddington,” he said.
The NLR 200 includes a high-pressure water jetting system that has been installed by Sewerquip. According to Brett, the system is very heavy, consisting of a water tank, motor, pump, fuel and an extra battery.
“I needed the right vehicle – big and powerful enough to carry my equipment, but small enough to drive on the narrow streets. The NLR doesn’t struggle at all with the heavy load on the back,” he said.
“The truck’s automated manual transmission (AMT) allows me to drive in automatic most of the time, but also flick across to manual if required. This makes the NLR easy to drive in all conditions, including stop-start traffic and highways.”
