Storage and distribution business Farrall’s Group has taken delivery of 10 curtainsider trailers and three rigid bodies from Tiger Trailers, after a trial unit “performed outstandingly”.

The trailers are specified with features such as a reinforced headboard, Tiger’s new front aerofoil, flush rear doors, galvanised chassis, and additional hook points to help with multiple loading configurations.

The Cheshire-based operator often transports newspaper and paper rolls, so Tiger added a specially engineered ‘over chassis beam’ floor design which sits above the I-beam to guarantee a completely flat floor running the full width and length of the trailer. This ensures that no imprints are left on paper products during transport, plus improves weatherproofing.

Jim Perry, managing director of Farrall’s Group, says: “We chose Tiger due to the proven service and quality we experienced from them. The trial trailer performed outstandingly since entering service, so putting in an order for a further 10 trailers and three bodies was an easy decision.”

He adds: “It’s crucial that we’re able to order equipment to a specification that is going to work for us. Tiger was able to look carefully at each of our requirements and ensure they were met; delivering all of the new assets within our specified timeframe.”
