Trailer on demand

Flexible vehicle fleet management with the RPS rental program

Contemporary freight transport must be able to handle various transport orders quickly and cheaply.The market expects a broad-based vehicle fleet that can be deployed at any time on favourable terms.However, only very few hauliers are in a position to deal with these requirements with their existing stock.The investment needed is too large, the workload/stand-time is incalculable.The alternative, renting instead of buying.The alternative, RPS Trailer Rental.

Around 1000 modern trailers and semi-trailers, for various haulage, logistics and construction sectors are available at short notice from RPS Trailer Rental.A network of 50 rental locations throughout Germany ensures close customer care.More are located in France, Spain, Hungary and Austria.The range of services is very comprehensive:

Recently added are trailers and semi-trailers for timber transport, the semi-trailer container chassis Chemie Light as well as many other new features from Fliegl:

  • Vario Container Chassis V2+ with extended heavy block, universal front locking and centre telescoping with Tele Control.
  • The semi-trailer dumper for the future of road construction.The Asphaltprofi Thermo with top insulation values thanks to Fliegl Isotherm.

Rental vehicles are also also available with satellite navigation (GPS) on request, as well as with telematics technology for optimum route planning.The customer can at any time determine if and where the trailer is being moved, an option that is increasingly in demand.

A rental agreement with RPS Trailer Rental means that in addition to greater flexibility the customer also has full control of costs.Depending on individual needs, the terms of the lease are between a day - for acute peak periods - and 24 months for long-term transport contracts, or for seasonal business.No mileage limit.During the term of the rental period the customer also has the option to purchase the trailer.

Also in terms of service RPS is a reliable partner.With various elements, such as full-service, maintenance or wear and tear the customer can individually choose the level of protection.Competent tyre suppliers, as well as a co-operation with the German automobile association, ADAC Truck Service, guarantee the highest service standards. For example, using a Europe-wide 24h hot-line, the breakdown service can be quickly and directly coordinated.

Last year, rental utilization of the RPS Trailer Rental fleet was over 80 %.More and more hauliers are using the advantages of trailer rental.As an RPS partner, you can immediately respond to unforeseen requirements or special requests from your customers, without taking financial risks.
