Entertainment industry transport specialist Fly By Nite has taken delivery of four new temperature-controlled Tiger Trailers with Carrier Transicold Vector 1550 refrigeration units to transport musical instruments for orchestras.
The new trailers will enable Fly By Nite Conferences to offer the optimum transport environment for orchestral instruments by keeping the internal temperature of the box vans to a constant 21 degrees.
This mitigates the potential cracking and splitting of these expensive assets – with instruments such as cellos maintaining their sound and also their state of tune if kept at room temperature while in transit.
Tiger Trailer has a partnership with LeciTrailer in Spain to manufacture refrigerated trailers.
Fly By Nite’s new trailers feature a 970mm coupling/fifth wheel height, additional sensors and switches for the interior lighting, a lockable door cam protector, and a unique alloy ramp carrier to accommodate loading and unloading preferences.
Load securing with orchestral instruments in mind has also been catered for by Tiger’s design and engineering team, with three rows of horizontal E-tracks at different heights, plus vertical E-tracks from the roof, down each side of the trailer.
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.”
