High Cube Trailers for ASDA Clothing
4th February 2025
ASDA Stores Ltd has introduced 35 Tiger assets to its George clothing fleet in the form of 4.9m tall ‘high cube’ trailers featuring an internal tail-lift to reflect the customer’s special operational requirements. The side-mounted D’hollandia platform inside each of the 35 new step frame trailers tailored for George clothing brand duties has a capacity of 500kg and operates up and down the length of the trailer.
Operatives can manoeuvre this internal platform longitudinally and vertically, enabling them to position the 150 load-securing bars to suit the internal roof mounted tracks and 9 horizontal tracks fitted at various heights down each side of the trailer internally.
Gavin Town, Senior Manager – National Fleet for ASDA Stores Ltd, says: “The Tiger team visited our site a number of times and truly listened to our needs and have delivered the goods with these High Cube trailers. We would like to thank them for their attention to detail and the continued support they show us as a business.”
Tiger is known for customising the trailers and rigids it manufactures to meet the exacting requirements of each of its end-user customers, and the specification of these specialist garment transport trailers built for ASDA also includes an internal step for safer access to the neck area, safety gates on the moving platform, a Nexus ground-level coupling, Axscend tyre pressure monitoring, and external heat treatment paint for the roof.
Darren Holland, Sales Director at Tiger Trailers, comments: “We always relish the opportunity to demonstrate our ability to design, engineer and manufacture bespoke vehicles to suit our customers’ unique operations and are delighted to have worked with the ASDA team on these garment transportation trailers.”
Tiger Trailers has supplied articulated vehicles to ASDA for a number of years and is currently manufacturing 90 additional moving deck trailers, taking the supermarket’s Tiger fleet to over 500 assets. The new clothing trailers primarily operate out of its Brackmills, Limedale, and Washington NEC sites.
