Design and Engineering

Our design team at TRT focus on delivering our customers fit for purpose solutions with a real return for the whole of life.

 

TRT provide solutions from concept, with a focus on delivering our customers fit for purpose solutions that suit the business, the operation, and future opportunities. This starts with our team understanding your business before we even start the design process.

TRT have a team of 7 highly skilled and experienced engineering designers in-house which are a part of our integrated manufacturing process.

Our design team thrive on the challenge to improve a product or a process; find a way to enhance the functionality of a truck, trailer or crane; and a solution to make your vehicle move faster, to minimise tare weight, to become more efficient and as a result more economical.

Getting it right up front

We focus on solving problems.  We make sure we understand the business, the payloads into the future. Our initial consultation is extensive; this means that when a customer comes to us with an idea of what they need, they will often end up with a manufactured solution that is different from the original idea, and a better fit for purpose.

Fit for purpose

Design at TRT is a collaboration between your team and ours. We involve you in the process and the planning.  If you already have specifications and drawings, no problem. We will review them and make sure they are fit for purpose.

We will not fit you to a standard solution if it is not right. However, if a standard design works, then you will have peace of mind that you will have a quality, compliant, cost effective product…for the long haul.
