Fine Lady Bakeries receives double deck trailers21 August 2023

Banbury-based Fine Lady Bakeries is using eight double deck articulated trailers from Tiger Trailers to transport unbranded bread loaded in bread baskets.

The trailers will primarily serve Fine Lady’s bakery sites in Banbury and Manchester, from where their range of loaves, buns and other products are then transported to the supermarket, wholesaler, and other customers.

Fine Lady Bakeries’ new Tiger trailers feature a three-quarter-length moving deck rated to ten tonnes, operated by the manufacturer’s proven four-ram hydraulic system, offering an increased load capacity.

To reduce the potential for damage, Tiger has incorporated recessed hinges into the rear frame of the new trailers, along with reinforced pillar lowers, and rubber cones fitted to each door and side panel. Inside, load securing is provided by means of specifically designed nets retained by vertical e-tracks. A gate is fitted at the neck area, and the lifting deck is operated either by the bank of control buttons or by a wanderlead. To enhance operator safety, various lights, alarms, and visual warnings have been installed.

Adam Robson, Fine Lady Bakeries’ logistics manager, said: “For the ordering of our new trailer fleet additions, we sought to identify a manufacturer that would be able to deliver on time, in full, and meet our specific operational requirements. It was clear from discussions with Tiger Trailers that they would be able to meet our timescales and custom requirements, and we were also encouraged by their complementary services and work in the community.”
