Tiger Trailers delivers 59 trailers and bodies to BOC
BOC, a provider of industrial, medical, and specialist gases, has taken delivery of 59 British-built flatbed trailers and rigid bodies from Tiger Trailers. The Cheshire-based trailer manufacturer has supplied BOC with 135 vehicles since 2023. The latest order comprises 29 trailers and 30 rigid solutions.
Tiger’s flatbed trailers for the gas cylinder division of BOC’s fleet are designed to transport up to twenty-six BOC pintle pallets each. These new pintle trailers will operate within the customer’s cylinder trunking network across the UK, Ireland, and Europe, feeding the supply chain with full and made-up loads for onward distribution to its end customers. The trailers are operated by Schenk UK on behalf of BOC.
The latest order of rigid bodywork solutions from Tiger for BOC are built on a DAF XB 18-tonne chassis. The new rigids will join an existing fleet of DAF trucks and undertake the network distribution from 35 UK sites stretching from Inverness to Plymouth and Port Talbot to Thetford. The gases delivered cover every aspect of industry, from manufacturing and science to aviation and healthcare.

We look forward to the continuation of Tiger being a key partner to BOC for hopefully many years to come.”
