Isuzu FTS 34
The Isuzu FTS34 is a heavy duty rigid truck configured often in 6×4 axle layouts for demanding cargo work (note: exact Kenyan spec may vary). It is suited for heavier payloads and specialised tasks, e.g., construction material hauling, tipper applications, heavy bulk logistic tasks. While detailed public specs are less available in Kenya online, F-Series heavy rigid trucks like the FTS34 typically benefit from large-capacity engines, durable frames and higher GVWs
The best use scenario for the FTS34 is where load weights, build-body size or terrain require a robust chassis — urban construction sites, mine supply, heavy haulage within fixed routes, or even inter-regional freight. Because of its higher upfront cost and operating expense, the decision to purchase should consider projected utilisation: as utilisation increases, per-unit cost drops. If your average use is moderate, a lighter truck may be more cost-efficient.
From a buyer’s standpoint: weigh how much of your work demands the extra strength of the FTS34. Evaluate maintenance regime (heavier trucks often demand more frequent or higher-spec service), fuel efficiency when lightly loaded, and parts/after-sales network. If you need the extra capacity and toughness, an FTS34 can deliver strong ROI; if your loads rarely exploit the capacity, you might over-invest.
Summary: the FTS34 is for heavy-payload tasks where durability and strength are non-negotiable; ensure your operations match the truck’s capability to capitalise on it.
