• Abbey Hill says this demountable car-transporter body and drawbar trailer combination is the first of its kind in the UK. After proving trials this month, it will hit the market before the end of the year.
The Somerset-based firm has worked with trailer company Hoynor for 12 months to develop the concept.
It can carry 11 medium-sized cars which can be loaded at various angles within manufacturers' tolerances. The cars are loaded flat and manoeuvred into position by hydraulics — the rear bottom deck extends to allow easy loading. Abbey Hill has found that other benefits include a reduction in transit damage (the latest soft tie-downs are used) and the repositioning of vertical pillars to eliminate door damage.
