Indigo HTA
Tiltable car transporter for daily use
The Hapert Indigo HTA Tilting Car Transporter has been developed for professional vehicle transport. Car companies, car dealers and rental companies choose this car transporter for its ease of use, reliability and well-thought-out construction.
Buying a car transporter for professional use
Anyone looking to buy a car transporter is looking for more than just a trailer. Especially in professional use, every minute, every trip and every load counts. Downtime, damage or unreliable equipment costs money.
That is why the Indigo HTA was designed from practical experience. The model combines a well-thought-out construction with smart details that make daily work easier. The result is a Tilting Car Transporter that is quick to deploy, pleasant to work with and built to last for years. Hapert is known for solid build quality and consistent performance. The Indigo HTA fits this perfectly.
Easy loading thanks to a low approach angle and smart construction
One of the most important features of the Indigo HTA is the low approach angle of just 7 degrees. This allows vehicles with low ground clearance to be loaded without problems. Think of sports cars, electric vehicles or lowered vehicles. The risk of damage to bumpers, spoilers or the underside is greatly reduced.
In combination with the tilting system, this low approach angle creates a smooth transition from the road surface to the load floor. Loading is therefore faster, safer and requires less effort.
Steel loading ramps of 142 centimetres are located underneath the driving lanes. These are fully integrated and easy to slide out. This means you do not have to work with separate loading ramps or extra tools. Everything is immediately available, neatly stored and always ready for use. This improves both working comfort and safety on site.

Built on reliability: chassis, driving lanes and running gear
The foundation of every good car transporter is a strong chassis. On the Indigo HTA, this chassis is fully welded and then hot-dip galvanised. This means that the steel is fully immersed in a zinc bath, providing optimal protection against corrosion, including on the inside. This treatment significantly extends the service life and ensures that the trailer can withstand intensive use, changing weather conditions and long-term loads.
After registration, you also benefit from a 10-year chassis warranty, underlining confidence in the construction.
The steel HAR driving lanes provide a stable and wear-resistant base for vehicles. They offer sufficient grip and retain their shape even under intensive use. The bolted V-drawbar contributes to stable road handling and predictable driving behaviour, both loaded and unloaded. Together, these elements form a solid whole that is tailored to professional transport.
Safe transport according to the VDI 2700 standard
Safety is always the top priority in vehicle transport. That is why the Indigo HTA complies with the VDI 2700 standard. This German guideline describes how loads must be safely secured during transport.
A trailer tested according to this standard has been assessed for stability during braking, evasive manoeuvres and emergency situations. This means that vehicles remain better in place and the risk of shifting or damage is greatly reduced.
The Indigo HTA is also equipped with TÜV-certified lashing hooks with a capacity of 1,000 kg. These are strategically positioned across the load floor, allowing you to secure every vehicle correctly. With a total of 18 lashing points, this Tilting Car Transporter offers extensive possibilities for professional load securing.
This not only provides extra safety on the road, but also helps you comply with applicable transport standards.
The difference is in the details
Every Hapert Indigo HTA has been developed with precision in mind. From the low approach angle to the integrated loading ramps. From the recessed chassis to the finish of the driving lanes.
No unnecessary extras, but well-considered choices that make daily work easier. Details that ensure smooth loading, safe transport and long-term reliability.
Because in professional vehicle transport, every detail counts.
Two versions with the same practical dimensions
The Hapert Indigo HTA is available in two weight classes: 2,700 kg and 3,000 kg. Both versions have the same load floor dimensions of 450 by 210 centimetres. This provides enough space for most passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.
The choice between the two models mainly depends on the maximum payload you need. If you regularly transport heavier vehicles or use additional accessories, the 3,000 kg version is usually the best choice. For lighter applications, the 2,700 kg version is an efficient solution.
This allows you to always choose a version that suits your daily work.
Technical features in practice
With a total length of 598 centimetres, a width of 230 centimetres and a load floor height of just 66 centimetres, the Indigo HTA is compact and practical to use. The 32-centimetre ground clearance under the rear beam contributes to the low approach angle and smooth loading process.
The 195/50 R13C tyre size is tailored to stability and load capacity, while the low unladen weight of the trailer provides a favourable ratio between total weight and payload.
This combination makes the Indigo HTA suitable for intensive and long-term use as a professional Tilting Car Transporter.
Completely equipped as standard
Every Indigo HTA comes with an extensive standard specification. This includes integrated steel loading ramps, TÜV-certified lashing hooks, VDI 2700 approval, a galvanised chassis and strong driving lanes.
This means the car transporter is ready for immediate use without the need for additional packages. You get a complete, professional solution that is ready for daily use.
Options for customisation
Depending on your work, you can expand the Indigo HTA with various options. A winch is available, optionally adjustable, making it easier to load non-driving vehicles. A spare wheel with support, with or without a storage box, increases usability on the road.
Other options include a plywood centre floor and sideskirts. Through the configurator, you can easily put together your ideal Tilting Car Transporter.

Frequently asked questions about the Hapert Indigo HTA
Answers to the most important questions about our Tilting Car Transporter
When choosing a car transporter, you want to be sure that the model matches your work, 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. This helps you make a well-informed choice for your next Tilting Car Transporter.
What is the advantage of a Tilting Car Transporter?
A Tilting Car Transporter such as the Hapert Indigo HTA allows you to load and unload vehicles comfortably and safely without extra tools. Thanks to the tilting system, the load floor tilts automatically, creating a very low approach angle of approximately 7 degrees. This makes it possible to drive vehicles with low ground clearance, such as sports cars or lowered models, onto the trailer in one smooth movement without risking damage to the bumper or underside. You do not need separate loading ramps and the entire operation feels intuitive and efficient. This saves time and increases safety in the workplace.
Which version do I need: 2,700 kg or 3,000 kg?
The choice between the Indigo HTA 2,700 kg and Indigo HTA 3,000 kg versions mainly depends on what you transport and how heavy it is. Both versions have the same load floor dimensions of 450 x 210 cm, which means the available space is the same, but the maximum payload differs significantly. The 2,700 kg version offers sufficient capacity for standard passenger cars and lighter commercial vehicles. If you regularly transport heavier vehicles, or often use extra options, winches or additional equipment, the 3,000 kg version is more suitable. The extra payload provides more flexibility without compromising safety or stability. For heavier use, the 3,000 kg version is usually the best choice.
What does VDI 2700 certification mean?
VDI 2700 is a technical guideline for safely securing loads on vehicles and trailers, drawn up by the Verein Deutscher Ingenieure, the Association of German Engineers. Although it is not a legal requirement, this guideline is regarded as the recognised standard for load securing in the vehicle transport sector and is used throughout Europe as a benchmark for state-of-the-art load securing.
In practice, this means that a car transporter designed and tested according to VDI 2700 meets detailed technical principles for securing and transporting vehicles. The guideline covers how vehicles must be secured so they cannot shift during braking, acceleration or cornering, and how the correct load-securing equipment and lashing points should be used.
VDI 2700 is important because it:
- shows what high-quality load securing involves;
- is based on extensive technical knowledge and testing;
- is used by many professionals and inspection bodies as a reference.
Are loading ramps included as standard?
Yes. Every Hapert Indigo HTA comes standard with integrated steel loading ramps of 142 cm, neatly stored underneath the driving lanes. This means you do not have to use separate loading ramps, which improves loading speed and safety. The ramps are strong enough for daily professional use and slide out easily when you need them. In combination with the low 7-degree approach angle, this makes loading vehicles highly efficient and comfortable.
How does the 10-year chassis warranty work?
The Indigo HTA is built on a hot-dip galvanised chassis that is fully welded for maximum strength and corrosion protection. This galvanising process ensures that even hard-to-reach parts of the chassis remain protected against rust and wear for a long time.
After registering your Indigo HTA with Hapert, you receive 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 daily use. The warranty underlines the quality of the construction and the materials used.
Is the Indigo HTA suitable for electric vehicles?
Yes. The Indigo HTA is highly suitable for transporting electric vehicles. Thanks to the low approach angle, there is less risk of damaging underbumpers or underbody panels, which is often a concern with electric vehicles. In addition, the strong chassis and robust load floor provide the stability required to safely transport heavier battery-equipped vehicles and modern cars. The combination of reliability, load floor width and safe load securing makes the Indigo HTA a highly practical transporter for electric vehicles.
Can I add accessories later?
Absolutely. The Indigo HTA can not only be configured at purchase, but can also be expanded later through a Hapert dealer. Options such as a winch with support, adjustable winch, spare wheel with support or storage box, plywood centre floor or sideskirts can be fitted later. This allows you to optimise the transporter precisely for your work as your use changes or grows.
