Responsible for both short-haul regional drops and nationwide trunking of both caged and palletised goods, durability and usability were at the forefront of The Delivery Group’s requirements.
Chosen for their attention to detail and ability to deliver a bespoke solution, Tiger worked closely with The Delivery Group during pre-build visits and production, to incorporate optimum features and technology.
Martin Johnson, Operations Director at The Delivery Group comments: “Our bespoke operation requires flexibility, strength and reliability to meet the needs of our operation and clients. This latest purchase from Tiger since we took the initial Tiger trailers back in 2014, allowed us to design and build a new trailer type that caters for, and suits our operational needs perfectly with the help of the Tiger Team”. Partnerships are key to our operational success, and the collaborative approach from Tiger challenged our ideas whilst engaging their design skills to define how best to achieve our objectives. The result is a trailer that ‘ticks every box’ on our wish list and looks great”.
To maximise capacity and varying load weights, a reinforced rear frame, sides, and 12-tonne moving deck were chosen, with a false bulkhead fitted near the front of the deck to allow partial loading of the moving deck. Enhanced visual aids and electronically controlled hydraulic safety locks, as well as an override on the motor pump mechanism, mean that users are made aware of any load errors long before the vehicle makes it to transit.
Sales Director at Tiger Trailers, Darren Holland says: “It has been a pleasure to work closely with the team from The Delivery Group again. Developing their new trailers’ needs in line with the way that their businesses and logistics have evolved is fantastic and the new trailers look amazing.”
The Delivery Group also opted for a 60-month service and maintenance package direct from Tiger, backed by Tiger’s nationwide breakdown provision.
