It’s summer in Toronto, which means landscaping season is in full effect. It seems like everywhere you look a landscaping crew is planting flowers, dumping soil, and trimming hedges. Whether you focus on residential, commercial, or both, landscaping is a major industry in the GTA.

 

Of course, if you’re going to get into the landscaping business, you have to have the right equipment. We’re not talking about mowers or trimmers, we’re talking about the truck you use to get your equipment and your crew from job to job. You have plenty of options for commercial trucks, but few are as versatile, durable, and affordable as Hino’s line of commercial trucks and chassis. Whether you’re a small landscaping operation or a large company with multiple crews, Hino has a couple of models ideal for landscaping.

Hino 155

This is a small but powerful truck that will suit the needs of any small landscaping crew that needs to get serious work done. Its award-winning 5-litre J05 series engine puts out 210 hp and 440 lb.-ft. torque and has a gross vehicle weight (GVW) of 14,500 lbs, so you’ll be able to carry all the equipment, trees, and soil you need.

 

The light duty Hino 155 is known as being an incredibly versatile cab-over commercial truck. Depending on the types of jobs you do, the Hino 155 can be fitted with a range of truck bodies, from landscaping dump bodies for working with soil, rock, and other materials, to more traditional landscaping body for transporting mowers and other equipment.

 

Crew comfort is important and Hino took this into consideration when designing the 2018 Hino 155. It features a fully-loaded cab that includes an adjustable driver’s seat with magnetic suspension, and a two-person high-back bench seat. Power door locks with keyless entry make entering and exiting the cab easy, especially when your hands are full of equipment.

If you’re a small to medium size landscaping company, the Hino 155 is definitely a truck you need to consider for your business.

Hino 195

When you’re in need of a medium duty landscaping truck look no further than the Hino 195. This is the truck for landscaping companies that take on large, commercial jobs and projects; with a GVW of 19,500 lbs, the Hino 195 is durable medium duty truck, constructed completely out of steel.

 

Like the 155, the Hino 195 is a capable and powerful truck, producing 210 hp and 440 lb.-ft of torque. Despite being a big, capable truck, it’s also much more environmentally friendly compared to many of its competitors. It comes with Hino’s own Selective Catalytic Reduction technology that lowers NOx emissions by more than 80% - that’s an impressive feat and the technology also helps with fuel efficiency.

 

Hino’s line of commercial trucks and chassis are incredibly versatile and can be customized for your needs easily. Whether you need a dump body for moving soil or a standard landscaping body for carrying equipment, it’s easy to upfit your Hino 195.
