Isuzu – the Japanese engine giant of diesel engines – has given factory backing to a new Australian arbor sensation.
Piranha chippers continually give high-performance and yield the highest return-on-investment figures, ultimately increasing bottom-line dollars. One of Piranha’s foremost suppliers is a leader in the world of diesel engines: Isuzu.
Clean running. Power packed
In 2016 Isuzu brought the 4HK1 – arguably the cleanest Japanese diesel engine – to the Australian market, and nearly a decade later there’s still nothing quite like it for advanced Japanese engine technology. It meets emission-control requirements for commercial vehicles laid out by the current Australian Design Rules (ADR) 80/03, exceeds Euro V, and complies with Japan’s Post New Long-Term (PNLT) emissions standard.
But being environmentally conscious doesn’t mean the Isuzu can’t still pack a serious punch. The 4HK1 engine is a low-displacement, high-torque, fourcylinder, turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine which produces a classleading 197hp. A hydraulic autoengaging clutch on the BT300 ensures the easiest start-up and operating procedure of any hand-fed chipper unit currently available, and Isuzu’s legendary reliability and power allow the Piranha BT300 to make short work of even the toughest job.
Makes sense
With Isuzu being such a popular brand in commercial vehicles, especially among arborists, it makes a lot of economic sense to run an Isuzu diesel in an Australian designed and built chipper. It means a single set of service items like filters and belts can be kept on hand to cover both the work vehicle and the Piranha.
Isuzu’s reputation for reliability, superb engineering and after-sales support is legendary and undeniable. When a company the stature Isuzu Australia gives its support to the Piranha Chippers brand, it makes a big statement about the performance and durability of the Australian chipper.
