UPDATE FROM STEPHEN

TRT PARTS

With shorter days and the unpredictable weather being experienced across New Zealand impacting industry and especially the transport and construction sector. We encourage you all to focus on the well being and safety of your teams, especially those on the road as we are doing here across all of our branches.

As we have outlined in previous issues of In Gear, the global shipping supply issues, cost increases, and recent inflationary results continue to put pressure on everyone’s operations.

At TRT we are focussed on what we can make possible to help mitigate this pressure for customers. TRT continue to manage this well with strong inventory control and ongoing investment in our people.

We have new positions that have been filled and internal promotions for a number of the TRT team you know well. We are grateful to have a knowledgeable and energetic team in the right areas of the business, here to help keep you moving. You can read more about two of our key team members on the back page, page eight. Keep your eye out in the future issues to see the faces you deal with on a daily basis.

PARTNERS IN YOUR SUCCESS We Know What It Takes

EXTENSIVE RANGE What We Don’t Stock, We’ll Source

We have some great deals for you in this issue of In Gear. We have run out stock with huge discounts in Hot Deals on page three for you to take advantage of. So, stock up now, prices are only available while stocks last. We also carry a large inventory of crane parts at TRT from crawlers and all terrain cranes to HIAB parts. We have highlighted our wide range of lifting and construction parts with a range of Manitowoc crane parts and filters.

Our remanned Eaton transmissions and service exchange programme is also experiencing high demand across the country as more of you are looking to manage maintenance and repair costs without compromising quality.

EXPERTS IN OUR FIELD We Can Solve It

As we head to warmer weather and longer days with daylight savings just around the corner, stay safe and thanks for the loyal support.

As always, if there is something you need, please have a chat with your Territory Manager or call your local branch. We are here to help.

KEEP YOU MOVING Right Part, On Time Transport Parts Sales Manager Stephen Forster

IN THE NEWS More Moves and More Opportunities for Taupo House Removals Taupo House Removals recently took delivery of their new TRT 3 Axle ESS House Trailer. This trailer features TRT’s revolutionary Quick Connect system for future-proofing the capabilities of the trailer. Quick Connect enables the trailer to be reconfigured in twenty minutes or less, whilst increasing the overall deck length and loading capacity of the trailer.

Their family-run business specialises in the removal and transportation of houses, buildings, and commercial dwellings throughout the central North Island and surrounding areas of New Zealand.

Chris Walker, Owner of Taupo House Removals explains, “We had been looking at increasing our capacity with a new trailer for some time. We had narrowed it down to TRT and a few other suppliers who could provide us with the solution we needed and TRT was by far the superior manufacturer when it came to strength, agility, ability, and technology.”

“We also already have a TRT 2 Axle House Trailer in our fleet which came with the business when we purchased it in 2004 which we still use.”

Their new trailer is fitted with a fully proportional remote, torsional design trombone, and kingpin side shift. The torsional design trombone is stronger than a standard beam, with the ability to run the trailer as a 4 axle, as opposed to the standard 3 axle, because the buildings being transported will most likely be heavier. The kingpin side shift operated by the proportional remote will allow for more precise movements to be made more accurately when joining houses together. Specific load restraints were also added on the top deck and the main deck to suit how they operate.

Walker says, “We have seen and heard how the ESS trailers operate, the software is ideal for the type of work we carry out.

We worked closely with Glen Harnett and the team at TRT. The sales and aftersales support were great. The new trailer has been a significant asset to our business.”

“Our new ESS trailer enables our team to work more efficiently and allows us to set the length of the load and have the trailer steer on route through the technology. It allows us to manoeuvre into tight sites easily, lining up two-part houses is easier, and placing houses onto site is easier. All up it's simple and straightforward, we save time and effort, and everything is a lot more efficient. In three to five years from now we have plans to expand the business with more moving, relocating, and a larger fleet with another TRT ESS Trailer in the future.”

Glen Harnett, TRT’s Trailer Sales Engineer says, “It was a pleasure working with the team from Taupo House Removals. A big thank you for their loyalty and for choosing TRT. We loved having them on-site at our head office in Hamilton and we are excited to see what the future holds for their business.”

IN THE KNOW ZANE BODIAM PARTS TECHNICAL MANAGER I have been with TRT for over 14 years. I started with EWP Composites, then moved into parts store-person before being a member of the workshop parts supply team.

With the knowledge base I had accumulated in the division I then moved into customer

service, where I enjoyed the interaction with our clients. From there I became a territory manager and now, currently a technical manager.

My drive is personal growth/self-improvement, making sure I see projects through from start to finish, and being focussed on customer satisfaction.

GAVIN PRATT TERRITORY MANAGER HAMILTON I have a great deal of experence in the automotive industry - having spent 12 years working in various roles starting with battery sales/account manager. I eventually worked as a parts sales rep then became a branch manager.

I'm now a territory manager at TRT and look forward to the challanges it brings.

I'm driven to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction and personally pride myself in doing a good job at whatever task I undertake.
