Choosing the Right Traffic Management Equipment: RTL's Supplier Promise
In the world of Traffic Management, choosing the right equipment and supplier can make all the difference in your operations' efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness. As industry leaders, RTL understands the critical nature of these decisions and offers a comprehensive solution that addresses the key concerns of TTM equipment owners.

Understanding the True Cost of Ownership
When installing new Traffic Management equipment on your truck, it's crucial to look beyond the initial purchase price. The long-term costs associated with parts, repairs, simple maintenance, access to service & support can significantly impact your bottom line. This is where RTL shines, offering a unique approach that prioritizes affordability without compromising on quality or safety.

RTL's Comprehensive Support System
At the heart of RTL's offering is a robust support system designed to keep your operations running smoothly:

1. National Support Network: RTL boasts a dedicated team of technicians under the expert guidance of a technical manager. We also have a network of trained sub-contrators in major centres. This ensures that no matter where you are in the country, help is always within reach.
2. Convenient Booking and After-Hours Support: With an online booking service and AI-powered tech support for after-hours care, RTL ensures that assistance is available whenever you need it.
3. Parts Availability and Pricing: RTL takes pride in maintaining a well-stocked inventory of parts. More importantly, these parts are priced affordably, recognising the need to keep repair and maintenance costs low for equipment owners.
4. Quality and Compliance: While RTL focuses on affordability, we never compromise on the quality of crash protection equipment parts especially due to MASH regulations. This commitment to safety and compliance is paramount in our operations.
5. Local Sourcing for Cost Efficiency: For other electronic equipment, we try to source parts locally where possible. This strategy helps in keeping shipping costs down, further contributing to overall cost-effectiveness. A great example of this is our replacement screens for variable messaage signs.
6. Maintenance-First Approach: RTL prioritises maintenance and repair over replacement. This philosophy not only reduces costs but also extends the life of your equipment. Check out a recent arrow board refurbishment we did for a customer.

The RTL Supplier Promise

1. What is your offering in terms repairs and services?
2. Do you have national support with a subcontractors network?
3. Can you provide an indication of the replacement parts costs for common parts?
4. What lead times do you offer for parts? 

RTL confidently answers these questions with their supplier promise, ensuring that you receive comprehensive support, nationwide coverage, and transparent pricing for parts and services.
