Reflecting Willmotts’ existing EN12642XL-rated curtainsiders in the firm’s ruby red livery, its latest additional order from Tiger Trailers entails galvanised chassis and end frames for enhanced strength and durability, while their non-slip plywood floors comply with the ISO1496 freight container standard in order to meet regulations governing Willmotts’ paper-carrying operations.
Personalisation features of Willmotts Transport’s 30 new curtainsided trailers include additional internal and external LED lamps for safer operation, tool boxes, a branch guard, BPW axles, and Goodyear Fuel Saver tyres contributing towards improved levels of refinement and wear.
The South West-based haulier has also introduced to its fleet 13.6m single-temperature refrigerated solutions from Tiger Trailers’ new range in a move which provides extra versatility to Willmotts’ expansive customer list in the food and drink retail sector.
In conjunction with Lecitrailer, Tiger Trailers’ new ‘Siberian’ portfolio of temperature-controlled solutions spans from home delivery vehicles and rigids to single and double deck trailers, available for purchase, through finance or via the manufacturer’s Tiger Rentals business.
To date, Tiger Trailers has previously supplied Willmotts with more than 50 trailers and bodies, including double decks, urban trailers and rigids. As a result, Willmotts Transport serves its customers with a sizeable fleet of around 150 trailers, making the century-old company one of the fastest-growing in the combined UK and Eire territory.
