Copart UK, an auto salvage agent that works with insurers such as AXA, has announced the expansion of its fleet with an investment in 79 new DAF and Volvo-based specialist multi-car transporters.
These new seven and eight car transporters are currently being converted to Copart standards by specialist transporter builders Belle Trailers, with the first units going into production this winter to further support Copart’s busier seasonal period.
The salvage agent is working closely with Belle Trailers during the production phase to develop new features to improve the collection process – including a new rear ramp to enhance the loading of customer vehicles and fitting the latest camera technology to safeguard Copart drivers and other road users.
“We are delighted to have made this significant addition to our transport fleet with the support and expertise of Belle Trailers,” said Phil Briggs, director of operation centres, transport & engineering at Copart. “Our investment will ensure that we continue to provide an efficient and safe fleet of vehicles to provide the industry-leading collection times which our insurance and automotive customers have come to expect.”
“We are pleased to be part of this considerable investment by our very valued customer, Copart,” said Adrian Parker, managing director of Belle Trailers. “The Belle Transporter range has developed strongly over the past four years and is now fully galvanised with many unique features. Built within Belle Trailers workshops in the UK, the product ordered is specialised and will benefit from the expertise of both Belle Trailers and Copart.”
