IAA, Inc., a leading global digital marketplace connecting vehicle buyers and sellers, announced that its UK-based business unit is expanding its fleet of vehicle transporters.
Investments include a new fleet of multi-car transporters and specialist two-car transporters.
Now featuring galvanised bodies for longer vehicle life, these additions to IAA UK’s transporter fleet may be utilised several times per day to collect up to six vehicles at a time. The new two-car transporters facilitate collections in restricted access areas, minimising the use of subcontractors, provide IAA streamlined control over vehicle collections and can be operated without a Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) license.
