Good morning Facebook Friends! Reaching out to see if anyone wants to be ahead of the rush for truck repairs. We have a couple openings right now. At the end of the month is when the flood gates open and there isn't enough time in the day. If you want to be ahead of the game, CALL NOW!

We probably don't say it enough, but we appreciate each and every one of you more than you know!

The first box marked went out the door yesterday! We couldn't be more excited!

What is Hardox?

- It's a SSAB's global brand program for more than 540 manufacturers using Hardox steel.
- It's in more than 60 countries.
- Hardox's material is more than 90% hardened all the way through.
- Using has a higher resale value.
- We are the only Dump Box manufacture in Wisconsin to be Hardox certified!

Does it mean RTR is increasing their prices?
Absolutely NOT! We want our boxes to be top notch for our customers! We want traceability, authenticity, and value marked on every box we put on the road! We stay competitive with pricing and moving forward with Hardox Certification is one way for us to be above the rest!

If RTR is not increasing their prices, how does it affect the resale of the box?
By using genuine Hardox plate & sheet, the product can:
- take high impact without being deformed
- fight the most challenging abrasive environments
- reduce maintenance & repair costs
- less maintenance stops
- no unexpected failures causing downtime
- increase service life up to 50%

How are RTR boxes traceable?
Every box made from complete Hardox material is labeled with a QR code, sign ID, and Pin code that is registered with Hardox. Any questions about your box, its all in there!

Still have questions? Ask away!
