Onpoint Logistics takes 26 Tiger curtainsiders
Onpoint Logistics, a customer of Tiger Trailers since 2018, has taken delivery of 26 additional curtainsiders from the Cheshire-based manufacturer – its largest order to date – in a further expansion of its articulated fleet.
Comprising 14 trailers of 4.2m height and 12 with a height of 4.74m and a side aperture of 3.1m, the latest Tiger curtainsiders to join Onpoint Logistics’ operations take the manufacturer’s total fleet supply to 58 assets, including a number of specialist flatbed trailers, and a proportion of curtainsiders fitted with tuckaway tail-lifts or Moffett fork-lift truck mounts respectively. Onpoint’s first order from Tiger in 2018 included a three-quarter-length fixed double-deck and two single-deck curtainsiders.
The 26 new curtainsiders feature fully-welded and KTL-coated chassis and will be maintained by Tiger as part of a five-year package, complete with an additional anti-corrosion warranty, giving the customer additional peace of mind.
Anthony Delaney, Onpoint’s sales and marketing director, said: “We are very pleased, as always, with these latest trailers built by Tiger. It’s a big moment for us to expand our fleet in such a significant way, as we work with an increasing number of customers, so we’re grateful to Tiger for producing these trailers to a high standard and in good time for us.”
The curtainsided trailers, all 26 of which are tri-axle variants, are fitted with tracking and electronic brake performance monitoring systems from Axscend, incorporate galvanised front and rear frames for added durability, and will be put to use on Onpoint’s contract with Palletforce as a multi-award winning partner of the distribution network.
Thomas Stott, Tiger Trailers’ key account manager, said: “It’s been an incredible journey supporting Onpoint for all these years and we’re delighted to have supplied the largest trailer order in their history to date. Onpoint are an exciting company and our team are looking forward to caring for these trailers for the next five years and more. Thanks as always to Anthony and the team for their ongoing belief in Tiger’s products and services.”
Established in 2014, Tiger’s portfolio includes an expansive refrigerated range of temperature-controlled rigid bodywork and trailers up to moving double-decks. It also continues to manufacture a large number of curtainsided trailers, often seen as the stalwarts of road transport.
