Fox’s Burton’s Companies Adds 19 Tiger Trailers Double Decks to Its Fleet
Fox's Burton's Companies (FBC) UK Limited has expanded its fleet with 19 moving deck double deck trailers and two single deck box vans from Tiger Trailers. This marks the first Tiger-manufactured vehicles in FBC's fleet, featuring full-wrap liveries of iconic brands such as Maryland Cookies, Jammie Dodgers, and Party Rings.
Enhanced Capacity and Efficiency
Designed with Tiger's four-ram hydraulic lifting system, the double deck trailers maximise efficiency, accommodating up to 52 UK pallets per load. The wedge-shaped design improves aerodynamics, reducing fuel consumption and carbon emissions.
Danny Hobkirk, Fleet Transport Operations Manager for FBC, stated: "Everyone across our business is excited to see these first Tiger trailers join our fleet. They look stunning with some of the nation's most-loved biscuit brands on them. Tiger's team worked closely with us throughout development, ensuring the new vehicles meet our operational needs."
Safety-Focused Design
Safety was a priority in the trailer specifications.
Features include Safe Parking systems from Haldex and Maple, a ground-level sliding coupling, an upgraded tow-guard with an over-centre locking handle, and a wanderlead for remote deck operation. Additional lighting and a cyclist warning lamp further enhance road safety. Thomas Stott, Key Account Manager at Tiger Trailers, commented: "It's been a pleasure collaborating with FBC's logistics team.
These trailers demonstrate our commitment to quality and safety. Seeing them on the road delivering well-loved biscuits is a great achievement." Operating from FBC's sites in Batley, West Yorkshire, and Kirkham, Lancashire, the new trailers will support nationwide biscuit distribution.
