Expert Logistics, part of AO World PLC, have increased their double deck fleet to 40 trailers.
This latest order comes after Expert’s original order of 10 unique double deck trailers for their German operation. After the success of these trailers, an additional 30 double decks are now being supplied. The design features ‘Mega’ style trailer chassis and low coupling height tractor unit. In addition to the full length hydraulic moving deck, the trailer also features a ‘lifting roof'. When the deck has been loaded, the ‘up’ button is pressed and as the deck lifts, it picks up the roof, creating enough loading height on the bottom deck for the forklift to enter. A special curtain system has also been designed to enable the roof to move, without the need to release the curtain buckles.
Jason Charnock, Head of Development from Expert said, "We came to Tiger as we had worked closely with the team before and were confident that they could deliver what we needed. Initially we worked together to arrive at a unique solution for trailer double deck design to operate in our European operation. These latest UK specification trailers are the first to enter our UK operation and are being very well received in the fleet. Darren Holland, Tiger’s Sales Director said, "Expert were one of Tiger’s first customers and their continued support and business is fantastic, we are really looking forward to working with Expert throughout 2016 ".
