RTS Waste Management upgrades with Totalkare

RTS Waste Management has significantly upgraded its workshop facilities with the introduction of several pieces of equipment from Totalkare.

The new equipment includes a 35,000kg capacity, 10m platform Y-MECH Lift, a mobile brake tester, a set of six T8AC cabled mobile column lifts, headlamp tester, compressor and ancillaries including axle stands and a transmission jack.

This comprehensive investment underlines RTS Waste Management’s commitment to maintaining its fleet at the highest standards of safety and efficiency from its depots in Kent and Somerset.

The 35,000kg Y-MECH Lift provides RTS Waste Management with the capacity to maintain even the largest waste and recycling vehicles in its fleet. According to Totalkare, this lift offers exceptional stability and ease of use, enabling the company’s technicians to perform maintenance tasks efficiently and safely.

Complementing the Y-MECH Lift, the T8AC cabled mobile column lifts offer flexibility in the workshop, allowing for easy manoeuvring and use across multiple vehicles simultaneously. Each column is capable of lifting up to 7,500kg, which features adjustable forks to cater for a variety of wheel diameters.

The DVSA-approved mobile brake tester from Totalkare adds another layer of flexibility, allowing RTS Waste Management to conduct thorough and precise brake tests, ensuring that all vehicles meet the stringent standards required for roadworthiness.

Totalkare says its standard model can test up to 16,000 kg axle load. For heavier axle loads, an upgraded version that can test up to 20,000 kg is also available. Additionally, the headlamp tester is a vital tool for checking and adjusting vehicle headlights.
