TPA Rapid Rail Access is firmly established in the rail sector as the principle provider of safe, effective, value for money access systems. Providing nationwide hire of specialist temporary access equipment designed, approved and dedicated for use in the rail sector.
The current economic climate affects all sectors of society, including our customers who are not immune from the spiralling costs of goods and services. That’s why at TPA we offer a flexible dynamic approach, offering customers a range of products on a dry hire basis, allowing them to easily and cost-effectively self-install.
Introducing TPA’s ‘Dry Hire’ Service
Dry Hire is a service where customers can either collect or have TPA deliver their requested equipment; the customer then off-loads and undertakes the actual installation without the involvement of TPA. The cost saving element is gained by the customer not being tied to using TPA’s crew and specialist installation equipment.
On project completion, customers can return the equipment themselves or have TPA drive to their site for collection and the customer simply re-loads the equipment.
The Dry Hire option has a two-fold advantage: it offers a significant cost reduction while maintaining customer access to expert technical advice from our experienced and friendly team.
Advancing Technology and Design
TPA’s portfolio of temporary ground protection continues to expand with the advancement of material technology and product design. Due to the development of plastic products, it is highly likely that a lightweight solution will now perform equally as well as heavier products. This means more mats can be delivered in one trip for a much faster installation process.
To work within your budget and still provide adequate ground protection, our team may be able to recommend a viable alternative which aligns with our ‘Dry Hire’ solution.
Which Products can be ‘Dry Hired?’
Products that fit the bill perfectly for Dry Hire include:
FastCover Mat: A durable, interlocking matting option for applications such as marquee flooring, footpaths, construction site walkways and warehouse flooring: a heavy duty, reversible pattern design makes it ideal for high traffic, high impact use.
