Tiger earns its stripes with ‘UK-first’ trailer10 March 2017

Tiger Trailers has announced that it will be exhibiting the UK’s first 52-pallet, moving deck trailer at the forthcoming Commercial Vehicle Show (25-27 April; NEC, Birmingham).

A year in development, Tiger says its full-length, moving deck, straight frame wedge double-decker features a ‘basket’ with an internal width of 2,425mm, so allowing loading of two UK pallets side by side and creating the 52-pallet capacity.

Darren Holland, sales director, explains the design process: “We started with the initial concept, utilising our 3D Solidworks programming, then through to FEA (finite element analysis ) stress testing. We then built the first decks, which were subjected to actual physical destruction tests. The trailers feature a unique deck design that is lifted up and down by our proven 4-ram direct drive (patent applied for) system.”

To date, 40 of the trailers are in operation and, says Holland, they have been “extremely well received”.
