The Hapert Indigo HTA Tiltable Car Transporter is designed for professional vehicle transportation. Car companies, car dealers and rental companies choose this car transporter because of its ease of use, reliability and well thought-out construction.
Buy car transporter for professional use
Those looking to buy a car transporter are looking for more than just a trailer. Especially in professional use, every minute, every trip and every charge counts. Downtime, damage or unreliable equipment costs money.
That’s why the Indigo HTA was designed from the ground up. The model combines thoughtful construction with clever details that make everyday work easier. The result is a tiltable car transporter that can be deployed quickly, works pleasantly and lasts for years. Hapert is known for its solid build quality and consistent performance. The Indigo HTA fits this seamlessly.
Easy loading thanks to low ramp angle and smart construction
One of the key features of the Indigo HTA is its low ramp angle of only 7 degrees. As a result, even vehicles with low ground clearance can be loaded without problems. Think sports cars, electric cars or lowered vehicles. It greatly reduces the chance of damage to bumpers, spoilers or underbody.
Combined with the tilt system, this low ramp angle provides a smooth transition from road surface to load floor. Loading is therefore faster, safer and with less effort.
There are 142-centimeter steel ramps under the roadways. These are fully integrated and easy to slide out. So you don’t have to deal with loose ramps or additional tools. Everything is readily available, neatly stored and always ready for use. This not only increases working comfort, but also safety on site.
Built for reliability: chassis, roadways and undercarriage
The basis of any good car transporter is a strong chassis. On the Indigo HTA, this chassis is fully welded and then hot-dipped galvanized. This means that the steel is completely immersed in a zinc bath, which also optimally protects the inside from corrosion. This treatment significantly extends the service life and ensures that the trailer can withstand intensive use, varying weather conditions and long-term loading.
After registration, you also benefit from a 10-year chassis warranty, underlining confidence in the construction.
HAR steel roadways provide a stable and wear-resistant base for vehicles. They offer sufficient grip and maintain their shape even during intensive use. The bolted V drawbar contributes to stable roadholding and predictable handling, both loaded and unloaded. Together, these elements form a solid unit that is tailored for professional transport.
Safe transport according to VDI 2700 standard
In vehicle transportation, safety always comes first. This is why the Indigo HTA meets the VDI 2700 standard. This German directive describes how cargo should be safely secured during transport.
A trailer tested to this standard is rated for stability during braking, swerve and emergency situations. This means vehicles stay in place better and the risk of shifting or damage is greatly reduced.
In addition, the Indigo HTA is equipped with TÜV-certified tying hooks with a capacity of 1,000 kg. These are strategically placed across the load floor so you can properly secure any vehicle. With a total of 18 tie-down points, the car transporter offers ample options for professional cargo securing.
This not only provides extra safety on the road, but also ensures that you meet applicable transportation standards.
Two versions with the same practical dimensions
The Hapert Indigo HTA is available in two weight classes: 2700 kg and 3000 kg. Both versions feature the same cargo floor dimensions of 450 by 210 centimeters. This provides ample space for most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
The choice between the two models depends mainly on the maximum payload you need. Those who regularly transport heavier vehicles or use additional accessories usually choose the 3000 kg version. For lighter applications, the 2700 kg variant is an efficient solution.
This way you will always choose a version that fits your daily practice.
Technical properties in practice
With an overall length of 598 centimeters, a width of 230 centimeters and a load floor height of only 66 centimeters, the Indigo HTA is compact and practical to use. The 32-centimeter clearance under the rear beam contributes to the low ramp angle and smooth loading process.
The tire size 195/50R13C is tuned for stability and load capacity, while the trailer’s low dead weight ensures a favorable ratio of total weight to payload.
This combination makes the Indigo HTA suitable for intensive and long-term use.
Fully equipped as standard
Each Indigo HTA comes standard with comprehensive basic equipment. Think integrated steel ramps, TÜV-certified tie hooks, VDI 2700 inspection, a galvanized chassis and sturdy driveways.
This makes the car transporter immediately deployable without the need for additional packages. You get a complete, professional solution ready for everyday use.
Options for customization
Depending on your work, you can expand the Indigo HTA with different options. Thus, a winch is available, possibly adjustable, which facilitates the loading of non-driving vehicles. A spare tire with support, whether combined with a storage box or not, increases usability on the road.
In addition, a plywood intermediate floor and side skirts are also available. Through the configurator, you can easily put together your ideal version.

Frequently asked questions about the Hapert Indigo HTA
Answers to key questions about our tilt car transporter
When choosing a car transporter, you want to be sure the model fits your operations, vehicles and way of working. In the frequently asked questions below you will find practical and clear answers about the Hapert Indigo HTA, from technology and safety to use and warranty. That way, you’ll make an educated choice for your next car transporter.
What is the advantage of a tilt car transporter?
A tiltable car transporter such as the Hapert Indigo HTA allows you to load and unload vehicles comfortably and safely without additional aids. Thanks to the tilting system, the loading floor tilts automatically, making the ramp angle very low (± 7 degrees). This makes it possible to drive even vehicles with low ground clearance, such as sports cars or lowered models, onto the trailer in one smooth motion without risk of damage to bumper or underbody. You don’t need separate ramps and the entire operation feels intuitive and efficient, saving time and increasing safety on the job.
Which version do I need: 2700 kg or 3000 kg?
The choice between the Indigo HTA 2700 kg and Indigo HTA 3000 kg version depends mainly on what you are transporting and how heavy it is. Both versions have the same cargo floor dimensions of 450 x 210 cm, which means that the available space is the same, but the maximum payload differs significantly. The 2700 kg version offers sufficient capacity for standard passenger cars and lighter commercial vehicles. If you regularly haul heavier vehicles, or often use additional options, winches or additional equipment, the 3000 kg version is better suited. The extra payload provides more flexibility without compromising safety or stability. It depends on the weight of the vehicles you are transporting and any accessories. For heavier use, the 3000 kg version is best suited.
What does VDI 2700 certification mean?
VDI 2700 is a technical guideline for safely securing loads on vehicles and trailers, prepared by the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure (VDI), or German Society of Engineers. Although it is not a legal requirement, it is considered the recognized standard for cargo securing in the vehicle transport industry and is the benchmark for “state-of-the-art” cargo securing throughout Europe.
In practice, this means that a car transporter designed and tested according to VDI 2700 meets detailed technical principles for securing and transporting vehicles. It addresses how vehicles should be secured so that they cannot shift when braking, accelerating or cornering, and how to use proper load securing devices and tie-down points.
VDI 2700 is important because it:
- indicates what high-quality cargo securing means,
- based on extensive technical knowledge and testing,
- used as a reference by many professionals and testing bodies.
Are ramps included as standard?
Yes. Every Hapert Indigo HTA comes standard with integrated 142 cm steel ramps that are neatly concealed under the travel lanes. This means you don’t have to use loose ramps, which increases the speed and safety of loading. The beams are strong enough for everyday professional use and easily slide out when you need them. Combined with the low ramp angle of 7 degrees, this makes vehicle loading very efficient and convenient.
How does the 10-year chassis warranty work?
The Indigo HTA is built on a full-bath galvanized chassis that is fully welded for maximum strength and corrosion protection. This galvanizing process ensures that even the hard-to-reach parts of the chassis are long-term protected from rust and wear.
After registering your Indigo HTA with Hapert, you have a 10-year chassis warranty. This gives you peace of mind that your transporter will remain reliable not only now, but also in the long term, even with intensive and daily use. The warranty highlights the quality of construction and materials used.
Is the Indigo HTA suitable for electric vehicles?
Yes. The Indigo HTA is well suited for transporting electric vehicles (EVs). Thanks to the low ramp angle, there is less risk of damaging under bumpers or bottom plates, which is often a concern with EVs. In addition, the strong chassis and rugged cargo floor provides the stability needed to safely transport heavier battery equipment and modern cars. The combination of reliability, load floor width and secure load securing makes the Indigo HTA a highly deployable transporter for EVs.
Can I add accessories later?
Absolutely. Not only can you configure the Indigo HTA at purchase, but it is also retrofittable through a Hapert dealer. Options such as winch with support, adjustable winch, spare tire with support or storage box, plywood intermediate floor or side skirts can be fitted later. This allows you to optimize the transporter exactly for your operations as your usage changes or grows.
