Reilly Hutchinson, the dynamic force behind HRD Builders in Queensland has an infectious enthusiasm that suffuses his dealings from sunrise to sunset each work day.

For almost a decade, Reilly and his team have been turning dreams into reality by providing craftmanship and experience to suit any project. The company has expanded impressively into two distinct areas of expertise: HRD Builders taking care of all building works while Reilly’s newer company HRD Earthworks handles landscaping and earthmoving jobs.

As the two businesses extend their client bases across the picturesque Scenic Rim, the Gold Coast and up into Brisbane, Reilly’s need to match the demands of jobs now with ambition for future expansion has played into his thinking around capital equipment purchases.

He has honed this into the transport fleet, boosting productivity by adding a gleaming NPR 55-155 Tradepack and a svelte NMR 60-150 Tipper to the roster.

“I went with the NPR Tradepack specifically to cater for my building needs as I found there’s not many utes on the market that can tow and carry heavy loads at the same time," said Reilly of his choice of vehicle.

“I’ve found the truck was affordable, very practical and it does the job really well. The Tradepack is my truck for running around all day in and with the inbuilt toolbox on the tray I have everything required if I need to help out onsite. “Even if I’m just driving around doing quotes, it’s great for driving around the city.”

In addition to a large load capability which the NPR 55-155 Tradepack delivers with a 5,500 kg GVM and 9,000 kg GCM, plus a 4.5-tonne towing capacity, Reilly speaks of the need for an all-in-one rolling office to support his full workload.

Isuzu’s recent updates to N Series interior cabin design brings increased space and comfort up front to in Ready-to-Work models such as the Tradepack, making virtual meetings in the car park simple and offering refinement for the task of representing the business onsite.

A large 10.1-inch capacitive multimedia touchscreen and navigation unit, user-friendly Bluetooth for hands-free communication and a spacious cab with ample storage for paperwork and necessities are also features that increase Reilly’s daily productivity.

Reilly noted their 6-tonne GVM model NMR 60-150 Tipper provides this and more with a robust tipper tray capacity that bolsters their ability to tow loads of equipment and cart away rubble easily using a standard car driver’s licence.

The NMR Tipper’s size is tailored for navigating tight worksites, measuring in with a 2,490 mm wheelbase (SWB model) and a compact 1,815 mm cab width, which is 225 mm narrower than Reilly’s NPR Tradepack.

The NMR Tipper also offers an impressive turning circle of only 8.5 m (kerb-to-kerb) giving staff the ability to manoeuvre it through the city and suburbs without sacrificing on the necessary grunt or payload to carry the materials and equipment that a day onsite requires.
