ABBEY HILL has developed Britain's highest capacity car transporter, a three-deck 12car articulated vehicle.
Its development engineers have co-operated with Hoynor to build the vehicles which are being used initially on a Fiat car delivery contract from Abbey Hill's Portbury import centre.
Each deck is finitely adjustable to give maximum clearance between the decks and cars.
The vehicle can carry either 12 cars or a combination of three cars and five large panel vans, in either case an advance on the capacity of the company's next largest vehicles, its 10-car articulated and 11-car drawbar transporters. Abbey Hill standardises, where possible, on Iveco tractive units, in this case on the 190.30.
