TII India launches new Tiiger SD modular transporter

It is not too often we see a new product dedicated to India and other emerging markets being launched at the world’s largest construction machinery fair. But that’s exactly what the TII Group just did. As part of the TII Group’s huge outdoor pavilion was a new product under the ‘Tiiger’ brand which caught the attention of many a visitor at the show.

Represented by members from its Indian subsidiary TII India, the TII Group launched the Tiiger Smart Duty (SD), a modular platform trailer built for transporting loads up to 240 tonnes on public roads and in industrial areas. The trailer has a 53 degree steering angle and hydraulically supported pendulum axles thus making it super light and resilient, capable of transporting up to 18 tonnes per axle line. Developed in Germany and manufactured in India, the robust all-rounder is suitable for transporting construction machinery, cranes, wagons and concrete girders, among other things. At present, the Tiiger SD is sold in India, Africa and South-East Asia.

TII India is one of the four subsidiaries of the TII Group, and has a market share of around 70 per cent in India. In the home market, TII India is the market leader for heavy goods transport.

Dr. Jochen Landes, Managing Director, TII India Pvt. Ltd., is convinced: “With the Tiiger SD we have perfectly matched our customers’ requirements regarding robust and cost-effective transport solutions for loads up to 240 tonnes. Our trailers have the strongest bending moment on the market, comply to international safety standards and regulations – all of this at competitive prices.”

The TII Group with its daughter company TII India has been active in India since 2015. The TII India subsidiary manufactures transport vehicles under the ‘Tiiger’ brand name for India, Africa and South-East Asia.

“We have a full-fledged manufacturing set up with over 200 employees in India; this shows how important India is for the TII Group. We want to be a long-term partner for our customers in India and also view India as an export hub. Going by the process consciousness and customer commitment of our team, we are convinced we can deliver world-class quality products to customers in different markets such as Africa and South-East Asia”, said Mr. Fabian Weingart, Director, TII India Pvt. Ltd.

With annual economic growth of around seven per cent and numerous infrastructure measures, India’s demand for high technology transport solutions is increasing. In particular, robust vehicle transportation of heavy loads (ODC/OWC) especially under challenging road conditions are in demand. This is precisely the TII Group’s area of expertise: heavy-duty vehicles with a low deadweight for transporting excavators, transformers, ship components, wind power equipment and even entire plant facilities.
