Bakery Receives 8 Double Deck Tiger Trailers

Posted on by David Priestman

Eight moving double deck articulated trailers manufactured by Tiger Trailers have joined the fleet of Banbury-based bread-makers Fine Lady Bakeries, with innovation and on-time delivery proving key influencers in their decision to change suppliers.

Fully painted in the baker’s distinctive Straw Yellow livery, Fine Lady Bakeries’ new Tiger trailers feature a three-quarter-length moving deck rated to ten tonnes, operated by the manufacturer’s proven four-ram hydraulic system, offering enhanced robustness, reliability, and an increased load capacity.

Used for the transport of unbranded bread loaded in bread baskets, the trailers will primarily serve Fine Lady’s two bakery sites in Banbury and Manchester, from where their range of loaves, buns and other products are then transported to the supermarket, wholesaler, and other customers.

Adam Robson, Fine Lady Bakeries’ Logistics Manager, comments: “For the ordering of our new trailer fleet additions, we sought to identify a manufacturer that would be able to deliver on time, in full, and meet our specific operational requirements. It was clear from discussions with Tiger Trailers that they would be able to meet our timescales and custom requirements, and we were also encouraged by their complementary services and work in the community. We’re very pleased with our new double-decker trailers from Tiger and look forward to fostering a strong relationship with Darren, Tom, and the team going forwards.”

To reduce the potential for damage, Tiger has incorporated recessed hinges into the rear frame of the new trailers, along with reinforced pillar lowers, and rubber cones fitted to each door and side panel. Inside, load securing is provided by means of specifically designed nets retained by vertical e-tracks. A full-width gate is fitted at the neck area, and the lifting deck is operated either by the bank of control buttons or by a wanderlead. To enhance operator safety, various lights, alarms, and visual warnings have been installed.

Thomas Stott, Technical Sales Manager at Tiger Trailers, says: “It’s been a pleasure to welcome Fine Lady Bakeries on board as a new customer. After our visits to their sites, followed by their visit to Tiger to sign off the 3D model that our design and engineering team produced, it’s fantastic to see this established bakery’s new double deck trailers in the flesh on the road. Huge thanks to Adam and his colleagues – it’s been brilliant to work with them, and we look forward to supporting and continuing to work with the Fine Lady team over the coming months and years.”

Fine Lady Bakeries, part of the Heygate Group, is a long-established manufacturer of bread products which it supplies to leading supermarkets, wholesalers, and to the sandwich industry. Originating in Banbury, Oxfordshire, Fine Lady opened a second purpose-built bakery in Manchester in 2010.

Cheshire-based Tiger Trailers is one of the UK’s top-five manufacturers of articulated trailers and rigid bodywork. Soon celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Tiger builds the complete range for road transport operators, from curtainsiders, fixed and moving double decks and temperature-controlled trailers, to swap-body demountables and specialist vehicles such as flatbeds. Supporting its customers and the wider industry, the company is home to Tiger Finance, Tiger Parts, and Tiger Rentals divisions. Its ESG initiatives include a tree planted for each product sold, solar panels on its factory roof, and EV chargers for staff and visitors. Tiger’s CSR activities span working with The Prince’s Trust, Women in Transport, and Cheshire Community Foundation, while the Tiger Safety Team delivers its ‘STOP, LOOK, BE SEEN’ road safety programme into schools.

Scheduled Route Connecting Baku with LA

Posted on by David Priestman

Silk Way West Airlines, a cargo airline in the Caspian and Central Asian region, expands its US network by adding weekly flights to and from Los Angeles International Airport, one of the world’s largest cargo gateways, handling millions of tons of freight annually.

The addition of the California hub to its network reinforces the carrier’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of its customers and supporting global trade. The airline will transport a wide range of general cargo, perishables, oversized and e-commerce goods on the route.

With this route expansion, Silk Way West Airlines enhances its presence in this key region by introducing an additional strategic destination. The addition of Los Angeles complements Silk Way West Airlines’ flights to Houston, launched in April of this year, as well as the previously established regular flights to Chicago and Dallas.

“We are delighted to announce the expansion of our network with the addition of Los Angeles International Airport as a new destination,” said Fadi Nahas, Silk Way West Vice President Americas. “The new route will greatly benefit our West Coast customers by providing freighter nose cargo load capacity and shorter transit times for US destinations west of the Continental Divide.”

Founded in 2012 in Baku, at the heart of the Silk Road, Silk Way West Airlines operates hundreds of flights every month across the globe via its fleet of 12 dedicated Boeing 747-8F and 747-400F aircraft based at Heydar Aliyev International Airport. On April 28, 2021, Silk Way West Airlines signed a strategic fleet expansion agreement with Boeing for the purchase of five new 777 Freighters, followed by a further agreement signed on November 10, 2022 for the purchase of two state-of-the-art 777-8 Freighters. Silk Way West Airlines also agreed the purchase of two A350 Freighters with Airbus on June 28, 2022.

The airline’s annual cargo turnover exceeds 500,000 tons, and its growing route network covers over 40 destinations across Europe, the CIS, the Middle East, Central and Eastern Asia, and the Americas.

Customers Fuel Logistics Property Growth

Posted on by David Priestman

Potter Space, a market leader in the small to mid-box (sub 100k sq. ft.) industrial and logistics property sector, has recently welcomed a new customer to its Ely business park in Cambridgeshire, UK.

Moving into Unit 24 at the Cambridgeshire business park, MLH Transport is a leading transport operator delivering freight services throughout the UK and Europe, and will occupy a warehouse housing expanded pallet and vehicle storage operations. The move continues the growth of Ely as a strategic location for Potter Space, alongside its four other business parks nationally.

Alongside MLH, Potter Space has also agreed a five-year lease extension for longstanding customer, International Decorative Surfaces (IDS), formerly part of Saint Gobain. The UK’s largest distributor of decorative surfaces such as flooring and worktops, IDS already occupies over 85,000 sq. ft. of industrial space at the Ely business park, with a new agreement in place to expand their footprint, taking their space close to 100,000 sq. ft.

Having both excellent road and rail links and being close to both the ports of Harwich and Felixstowe, Potter Space Ely is within easy reach of Northampton, Norwich, London, Cambridge, Newmarket and Peterborough. Stretching over 70 acres, the industrial units vary in space from 3,000 sq. ft. to 83,000 sq. ft., providing homes for a wide range of businesses.

Chris Collins, head of asset management at Potter Space, said: “It’s always exciting to welcome new customers to our parks, but it’s even better when we can extend our long-term relationship with another at the same time. At all of our sites, we strive to provide a home for business for our customers and we can’t wait to both welcome MLH Transport, and see IDS develop even further.”

Debbie Davis, general manager at International Decorative Surfaces Ely, said: “Renewing the lease for our units and increasing our occupied space at Potter Space Ely has been a crucial part of our growth plan. The business park provides all the space and security that we need to carry out our operations, safe in the knowledge that we are in good hands. Potter Space is a supportive partner, which goes above and beyond, all the time.”

Potter Space has invested £18 million into growing its nationwide property portfolio over the next five years to meet the demand for small to mid-box warehousing space across the country and is currently developing 250 acres of land. Potter Space’s five business parks occupy a total of 1.6 million sq. ft. across a range of commercial properties, including industrial units and offices, and are located in Ely, Ripon, Droitwich, Selby and Knowsley.

Potter Space owns, develops, and operates five business parks in Ripon, Droitwich, Knowsley, Selby, and Ely. The business manages more than 1.6m square feet of existing commercial space at close to 100% occupancy and with many long-standing customers. Knowsley, Selby and Ely business parks also have successful rail terminals, fully utilised by Potter Space customers.  Potter Space continues to aim for a minimum BREEAM ‘Very Good’ accreditation on all future buildings, prioritising sustainability, biodiversity, health and wellbeing across all 5 business parks. Providing customers with a ‘Home for Business’ is the number one priority for Potter Space.

Prologis adds 700,000 sq.ft. UK Warehousing

Posted on by David Priestman

Prologis UK, owner and developer of logistics property, has completed a £240m portfolio of development across London and the Midlands, bringing 627,724 sq. ft. of prime new UK warehousing space to the market across three strategically located sites, with a further 62,537 sq. ft. comprehensively refurbished in Birmingham’s strongest market.

The construction projects at Prologis Park Midpoint and Prologis Park Bromford Gate, both located in Birmingham, and at Prologis Park West London and Prologis Park Brooklands in Weybridge exemplify the business’ continued commitment to providing market-leading logistics property.

The new 163,754 sq. ft. unit, DC6 at Prologis Park Midpoint, has brought the total floor space of one of the UK’s most successful logistics parks to over 1.6 million sq. ft. and is located within the logistics “Golden Triangle” in the Midlands. Net zero carbon in construction, and with a BREAAM ‘Excellent’ rating and EPC A+, the new unit is located just eight miles from central Birmingham and has access to 11 motorway junctions within five miles, making it perfectly situated to support growing supply chain needs.

Similarly, the recently refurbished unit DC1 (62,537 sq. ft.) at Prologis Park Bromford Gate is situated just over three miles from Birmingham City Centre and as one of Birmingham’s most prominent and recognisable parks is easily accessible from the M6 from both junctions 5 and 6. The unit’s comprehensive refurbishment included enhancing the employee amenity and shower facilities, installing LED lighting throughout and providing EV charging provision to achieve an EPC A rating.

Turning attention to the London market, there has been an increased focus on the need for more high-density urban hubs to provide greater last-mile capabilities. In response to the growing needs of the industry, Prologis UK has broken ground on two key development areas within Greater London.

Strategically positioned to ensure access to the major consumer markets within West and Central London as well as the Thames Valley, two new units have reached completion at Prologis Park West London.

With a combined footprint of 339,569 sq. ft., units DC5 (195,720 sq. ft.) and DC6 (143,849 sq. ft.) stand as testament to Prologis UK’s commitment to setting standards in the industry. Beyond net zero in construction and EPC ‘A’-rated, both units also boast solar photovoltaics (PV) and will serve to help alleviate the increased need for high-density urban hubs that can provide greater last-mile capabilities. Both DC5 and DC6 are available immediately on flexible short term leases, a unique proposition in a competitive market.

Likewise, Prologis Park Brooklands DC1, achieved – BREEAM ‘Excellent ‘and EPC A+, is situated in a proven last-mile delivery location, serving Central and South London, with easy access to the M25, M3 and A3. The new 124,401 sq. ft. logistics facility draws upon a large and skilled labour pool from Weybridge and surrounding areas. Both Prologis Park West London and Prologis Park Brooklands are designed and built to meet the demands of high-performance operations.

Paul Weston, Regional Head at Prologis UK, said: “Our investment into such an extensive development programme goes to show the lengths to which we are prepared to go to service the market, and our customers. After listening to the market, we’re excited to be completing our new units that push the boundaries of what is achievable in the industrial and logistics sector. Having led the charge for sustainable and innovation in logistics property developments, we’re proud to continue our legacy of providing spaces that truly add value to our customers and communities.”

Electric Terminal Tractor Passes Practical Test

Posted on by David Priestman

The freight forwarding and logistics company, Duvenbeck, is taking another step towards switching its fleet to low-emission vehicles. The firm tested a fully electric terminal tractor unit at its business site in Rastatt in July this year. It was used to move uncoupled (semi-)trailers at the factory site of a vehicle manufacturer.

“The terminal tractor unit made by the Dutch manufacturer, Terberg, has completed its first operations in everyday service without causing any problems,” says Volker Mürb, the Duvenbeck Branch Manager in Rastatt, summarising the results. “The performance of the electric motor is in no way inferior to that of a diesel engine. It was easily possible to complete a day‘s shift without having to recharge the battery.”

Duvenbeck manages the trailer yard for a vehicle manufacturer. This involves a large-scale parking area where the truck trailers and swap bodies, which are full of components that have been supplied, are made available so that they can be driven to the relevant unloading points at the factory. Duvenbeck uses so-called handling vehicles for this purpose and operates ten of them at Rastatt. Duvenbeck completes several hundred handling movements there every day. Testing an emission-free electric variant forms part of the company’s response to the increasing calls for sustainability by customers in the automobile industry.

Duvenbeck and the customer will now examine whether the test should be turned into a long-term phase lasting one year. The company has used tractor units powered by a diesel engine to move the trailers up to now. The capacity of the battery of the Terberg YT203-EV electric variant, which has been tested, is 150 kilowatt hours (kWh) and the unit is roughly two-and-a-half times more expensive than the diesel version. It is also necessary to have the appropriate charging infrastructure. “Overall, any switch to electrically powered terminal tractor units would entail significant additional investments,” Mürb adds.

Duvenbeck has been working in the trailer yard management business in Rastatt for more than 25 years. Its services include coordinating and scheduling the incoming and outgoing truck trailers and swap bodies as well as opening, closing and making available the trailers, depending on the vehicle manufacturer’s needs and production procedures; Duvenbeck is also responsible for securing loads. Duvenbeck’s complete fleet includes 1,500 articulated units, consisting of a tractor unit and trailer, 3,500 trailers and 1,000 swap bodies. They are mainly used for customers operating in the automotive industry.

Overlapping Route Planning Solution

Posted on by David Priestman

The exciting new partnership between supply chain software leader EPG and route planning innovator Greenplan has already reached a significant milestone, with the news that time-critical logistics specialist DANX is rolling out Greenplan in its Denmark operations.

“Our mission is to be the leading provider in time-critical service logistics across Eu-rope,” said Thomas Wad, CTIO at DANX Carousel group. “In our business, we need to excel at both speed and service-quality as we aim to deliver faster than anybody else aiming for 99% service fulfilment. This leaves minimal room for errors in our network planning. Greenplan is one of our innovative partnerships that we hope to be part of the solution of securing our excellence as we grow, and complexity rises. Better and faster planning means even better delivery and the most efficient transportation network also means fewer carbon emissions for our customers.”

Unique ‘Overlapping’ Algorithm

Billed as one of the most innovative developments in delivery planning software in re-cent years, Greenplan provides a unique algorithm which enables previously relatively fixed driver ‘rounds’ or districts to overlap, beyond the traditional route boundaries and zip codes. This dramatically improves quality in terms of delivery times and optimizes costs and efficiencies for the provider, because significant savings in mileage and time management can be achieved.

After the merger between DANX and Carousel Logistics last year, the DANX Carousel group has already announced its clear ambition to be the No. 1 provider of critical ser-vice logistics in Europe. As a front-rank supplier of spare parts to industries such as the automotive and agricultural industries, DANX guarantees that any pre-5pm order will be delivered by 7am the following morning. With a guaranteed 99% on-time performance, the route and delivery planning software package needs to be 100% effective.

Greenplan’s Competitive Win

DANX Denmark chose Greenplan because it outperformed all competitors in meeting strict requirements. Supporting faster and more reliable automation in transport pro-cesses, it was most responsive to fast-changing customer needs as well as cost-competitive on every metric, all backed up by outstanding engineering and service attention. “The screening process revealed that the competition was unable to meet our requirements, while Greenplan met our criteria in terms of speed and handling,” explained Daniel Skov, Strategy Manager at DANX Carousel group. “Greenplan also showed great ability to mitigate existing operational processes.”

Greenplan’s ‘overlapping’ functionality is a clear point of difference, he added. “It really stands Greenplan out from the crowd, allowing DANX Denmark to go from fixed route planning to part-dynamic modelling. This transforms our company proposition and allows us to prepare for future challenges knowing we have the best technical tools to help us.”

Greenplan has now started the roll-out process across DANX Denmark’s seven distribution centres and 100 vehicles in Denmark, having received positive feedback on initial testing in the Aarhus and Fredericia districts.

Florian Merget, Managing Director at Greenplan, said: “Our aim is to improve outcomes for our customers by increasing efficiency and offering extra agility at pace. Green-plan’s unique overlapping ability to predict most accurate traffic flows brings fully dynamic route planning ever closer.”
