RSG demountable systems compatibility guaranteed
Compatibility with demountable equipment produced by the Ray Smith Group is guaranteed by Wheelbase Engineering, as owners of the ‘intellectual property rights’ to all of the original designs, which includes the engineering drawings and individual customer records.
Wheelbase Engineering not only produces equipment for existing users of these systems, but regularly supplies new customers and operators who have entered the demountable market via their acquisition of good second-hand product.
However equipment is acquired it is critical to its integrity that any additional equipment is manufactured to the same build standard. If manufacture of the equipment does not maintain the original build tolerances, this will have a detrimental effect on the whole fleet and can result in premature wear of vital components and introduce safety issues.
