Frequently Asked Questions

What does ATR do?

We deliver safe and compliant tool, plant and lifting equipment to industry sectors, which need to rely a company that can deliver quality assets and HSE rigour everyday.

We proactively manage the certification, inspection needs of our clients’ fleets and work to ensure that no asset is out of cert.

Simply put, if a client needs to move something , power it, fix it or build it, then we have the tools to enable the work. Try and do it without us – you’ll find it hard without the kit. We’re an enabler.

What kind of companies use ATR?

We work with all sizes of companies working throughout the supply chain in Energy. We work with anyone who needs to access the right equipment to enable a project.

What’s the value add of working with ATR?

We don’t just give you what you want, we give you what you need. Our teams offer full technical support and expertise, supporting your decision-making and ensuring you are getting the right kit for the job.

How do you make sure that your equipment is fully certified and called back for the right date?

We operate a robust asset tracking system and use this to proactively recall tools for servicing, repair and certification. We provide our clients with forward-looking reports detailing which tools, plant and equipment need to be recalled to base. This makes sure that our clients are compliant and that replacement tools are dispatched to ensure a smooth handover and no downtime.

How long is your equipment certified for?

We send all equipment out with a minimum of six months’ certification – maximizing the productive time of each asset.

Can we hire equipment and buy it?

Absolutely, we’re flexible. We can source over 27,000 line items for purchase and offer over 15,000 assets for rental – we’ve got the biggest fleet of assets in the UKCS.

What type of equipment do you offer?

We have generators large enough to power a fleet of ROVs and compressors powerful enough to support large scale shotblasting during pipelaying operations offshore.

We offer consumables from the smallest screw to safety tools, which require no hot work permits. We provide everything from shackles to rigging lofts from our lifting team.

Do you offer inspection and repair services?

Yes, our specialist teams can offer full inspection services for lifting, plant and tool whether you need it at your site or in-house at ATR. Our inspectors have travelled far and wide – from the UKCS to West Africa and South America.

Can you mobilize globally?

Yes, we do this everyday.

All you do is provide equipment – what’s innovative about that?

We’re innovative in the equipment we provide – we’re constantly investing in new technology, which will deliver performance improvements to our clients. For example, we’ve invested in tools that don’t produce hot sparks. This means that clients don’t have to worry about hot work permits – these are time consuming and detract from getting the job done as quickly as possible.

We also lead the market – we understand that prolonged tool use can affect health. We’re invested in ensuring that our clients’ employees and subcontractors are protected. We offer a HAVs solution to the Energy sector that ensures equipment operators’ HAVs exposure is measured and recorded via a tamperproof system.

What’s your attitude to client service?

It’s what we’re in business for.
