Tiger tailors 35 high cube trailers for ASDA’s George clothing business

ASDA Stores Ltd has

introduced 35 Tiger assets to its George clothing fleet in the form of 4.9m

tall ‘high cube’ trailers featuring an internal tail-lift to reflect the

customer’s special operational requirements.

The

side-mounted Dhollandia platform inside each of the 35 new step frame trailers

tailored for George clothing brand duties has a capacity of 500kg and operates

up and down the length of the trailer.

Operatives

can manoeuvre this internal platform longitudinally and vertically, enabling

them to position the 150 load-securing bars to suit the internal roof mounted

tracks and 9 horizontal tracks fitted at various heights down each side of the

trailer internally.

Gavin Town, Senior

Manager – National Fleet for ASDA Stores Ltd, says: “The Tiger team visited our

site a number of times and truly listened to our needs and have delivered the

goods with these High Cube trailers. We would like to thank them for their attention

to detail and the continued support they show us as a business.”

Tiger is known for

customising the trailers and rigids it manufactures to meet the exacting

requirements of each of its end-user customers, and the specification of these

specialist garment transport trailers built for ASDA also includes an internal

step for safer access to the neck area, safety gates on the moving platform, a

Nexus ground-level coupling, Axscend tyre pressure monitoring, and external

heat treatment paint for the roof.

Darren Holland, Sales Director at Tiger Trailers, comments: “We

always relish the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to design, engineer

and manufacture bespoke vehicles to suit our customers’ unique operations and

are delighted to have worked with the ASDA team on these garment transportation

trailers.”

Tiger Trailers has

supplied articulated vehicles to ASDA for a number of years and is currently

manufacturing 90 additional moving deck trailers, taking the supermarket’s

Tiger fleet to over 500 assets. The new clothing trailers primarily operate out

of its Brackmills, Limedale, and Washington NEC sites.
