Allied Bakeries comments: “Thomas and the Tiger team impressed us with their precision and detail-oriented engineering approach, which was highly spec’-driven and tailored to bespoke needs. The process began with on-site visits, 3D model review stages and extensive consultations, and we are very pleased with the end product”.
The new Tiger-built rigid bodies incorporate a 1.5-tonne Dhollandia DH-SKS80 flat platform retractable tail-lift, allowing bread delivery baskets to be easily loaded and unloaded, making the fleet’s deliveries more efficient than ever.
The vehicles’ specification also includes heavy-duty aluminium Bakadek flooring, a stainless steel rear frame, and Magnelis® floor bearers, which reflect the customer’s preventative maintenance ethos and longevity requirements, along with a JR Industries shutter door at the rear, a reversing camera, and various other finish details such as coatings, over-mouldings and drainage, which provide added durability in the trucks’ daily operating environment.
Thomas Stott, Technical Sales Manager at Tiger Trailers, says: “We are delighted to welcome Allied Bakeries to the Tiger family of customers, and it has been a pleasure collaborating with the fleet team in ensuring that the rigid bodies we have manufactured meet their unique requirements. We thank them for placing their trust in Tiger and look forward to seeing their new rigids in operation on the road”.
Allied Bakeries’ thirty-six new rigid bodies manufactured by Tiger Trailers of Cheshire are wrapped in a Kingsmill 50/50 livery, and the customer chose the OEM’s delivery service option.
