Formed as recently as 2014, Tiger trailers have gone from strength to strength in the UK semi trailer market, moving to a larger production facility in 2018 where all manufacturing processes are carried out in one place.

Longer trailers mean more payload area which means more cargo per journey and therefore fewer journeys. Longer tractor units mean better aerodynamics and improved fuel efficiency. The good news is that both longer trailers and tractor units are now legal in the UK. However, the bad news is none of this means the maximum permitted gross vehicle weights have increased. Which Longer Tractor Units…
