TIP invests £19m in 900 new trailers24 April 2014

Trailer rental and service company TIP Trailer Services is to invest £19 million in 900 new trailers for its UK fleet.

The first trailers are due to go into service in June, with the remainder operational by October.

The acquisitions will include a mix of standard trailer types, including curtainsiders, box vans, skeletals and reefers, although TIP says that it will also include some newer types, such as teardrops and double-decks.

"The UK customer base is asking for newer trailers," says Mike Furnival, TIP's UK commercial director.

"We feel that the time is now right to invest in our UK trailer fleet, which will enable us to better support our customers demand for good quality, flexible rental equipment."

The company owns and manages 14,000 trailers through its rental and services business.
