Willmotts turns to Tiger Trailers for fleet growth

South-west warehousing and distribution specialist Willmotts Transport Ltd has added 60 new Tiger curtainsiders, bringing the company’s fleet to over 250 trailers.

A new transport contract for a corrugated cardboard manufacturer meant that it required the additional trailers within a short space of time, which Tiger facilitated as a long-standing supplier for Willmotts. Whilst half of this batch are standard-height curtainsiders, the others come in at 4.7m, to cater for the end user’s variable cargo sizes.

Group managing director, Andy Stott said, ‘They will look really striking out on the road and provide first-class representation when delivering for our customers. Our BRCGS certification extends to our own fleet, so it is important for our customers to know that their goods are being carried in clean, new vehicles by a reliable supply chain partner. Our trailers demonstrate a strong brand and the partnership we have developed over many years with Tiger Trailers is one we value.’

The trailers’ specification includes Wabco’s EBS braking system, Axcsend’s BPMS, a reversing camera, two LED reversing lamps, and a branch guard fitted to the header.
