Tiger Trailers delivers Temperature-Controlled Trailers for Fly By Nite

Tiger Trailers has designed bespoke temperature-controlled trailers for Fly By Nite to safely transport delicate orchestral instruments.

Cheshire, United Kingdom- Tiger trailers Limited., a manufacturer of articulated semi-trailers and rigid bodywork, has once again partnered with Fly By Nite, a leading logistics provider for the entertainment industry, to expand their fleet with temperature-controlled vehicles. This marks the first time Fly By Nite has added such trailers, designed specifically to transport orchestras' delicate musical instruments. With a constant internal temperature of 21°C, these trailers help prevent cracking and splitting, ensuring instruments like cellos maintain their sound quality and tune during transit. This addition strengthens Fly By Nite’s ability to provide specialized transport solutions, further solidifying its reputation in the entertainment logistics sector.

Mr. Richard Brown, Transport Manager at Fly By Nite, said, “Tiger have once again delivered the goods, on time, and to a high standard, this time with specialised temperature controlled trailers that allow us to offer an extra layer of specialism to our orchestral clients. Our fleet remains very busy all year round and we feel we can rely on Tiger’s products and services. These new additions to our fleet should prove an invaluable asset. Thanks to Tom and the rest of the Tiger team along with the guys at LeciTrailer for producing these unique trailers for us.”

Tiger’s design for Fly By Nite’s new temperature-controlled trailer and rigid bodywork manufacturing sector, through its partnership with LeciTrailer of Spain, highlights the OEM’s ability to design and build entirely bespoke products tailored to each end user’s requirements. Fly By Nite’s new trailers are personalized in various ways, including a 970mm coupling/fifth wheel height, twin hamburger-style rear lights, additional sensors and switches for the interior lighting, a lockable door cam protector, and a unique alloy ramp carrier to accommodate their loading and unloading preferences. The design also considers the need for load securing delicate and expensive orchestral instruments. To address this, Tiger’s engineering team has incorporated three rows of horizontal E-tracks at different heights, along with vertical E-tracks from the roof down each side of the trailer.

Mr. Thomas Stott, Key Accounts Manager at Tiger Trailers, said, “It’s been a pleasure as always for us to work closely with the Fly By Nite team in ensuring that our latest trailers for them meet exactly what they need for the high-profile and time-sensitive work they do. It’s been exciting to develop a different type of product for them, from our proven temperature controlled range, which we have offered since 2020, and it’s great to see on Fly By Nite’s social channels that Tiger-built trailers are delivering instruments, sound equipment, refreshments and other loads to some of the biggest names in global entertainment.”
