About RTi Technologies

RTi Technologies, Inc. is a York, Pennsylvania-based manufacturer with a long-standing reputation as one of the premier suppliers of professional automotive service and maintenance equipment. RTi was founded in 1990 with a clear mission: to answer the growing demand for refrigerant recovery and recycling equipment sparked by the U.S. Clean Air Act of that same year. From that focused starting point, the brand quickly earned recognition for producing the highest-quality automotive refrigerant management centers on the market.

Throughout the late 1990s, RTi expanded well beyond its air conditioning roots, applying its engineering expertise to a broader range of automotive fluid service and shop equipment categories. Today, the brand is widely regarded as a go-to manufacturer for professional service locations — from OE dealerships and national service chains to independent repair shops — that demand reliable, high-performance equipment day in and day out.

What RTi Technologies Makes

RTi's product lineup covers virtually every fluid system a modern vehicle relies on. Their AC service equipment handles refrigerant identification, recovery, recycling, and recharge — critical tasks for any shop working on climate-control systems. Beyond A/C, RTi manufactures specialized machines for:

• Automatic Transmission Fluid Exchange — RTi's transmission fluid exchange machines allow technicians to perform thorough, efficient ATF replacements that meet SAE standards, helping extend transmission life.
• Coolant Exchange — Multi-coolant exchange equipment with pressure testing capability ensures cooling systems are properly serviced and free of contamination.
• Brake System Flushing — Dedicated brake fluid service machines help shops keep hydraulic braking systems performing safely.
• Power Steering Fluid Exchange — RTi's power steering service equipment makes fluid replacement fast and complete.
• Engine Oil System Cleaning — Specialized cleaning equipment helps technicians address internal engine deposits as part of routine maintenance.
• EVAP Leak Detection — Diagnostic equipment for finding evaporative emission system leaks, essential for passing emissions inspections and reducing environmental impact.
• Exhaust Ventilation Systems — Shop safety solutions designed to capture and remove vehicle exhaust fumes from enclosed service bays.
• Nitrogen Tire Inflation — Systems for filling tires with nitrogen, a popular option in dealerships and performance-oriented shops.

RTi's Place in the Industry

Over its history, RTi Technologies grew to become one of the most recognized names in automotive shop equipment, eventually being acquired by MAHLE — one of the world's largest automotive component and equipment manufacturers — which further expanded the product line's reach and development resources. The RTi brand name has remained synonymous with durability, precision engineering, and equipment that professional technicians can depend on for the long haul.

Whether you are outfitting a new service bay or replacing consumable parts and accessories for existing RTi machines, the brand's catalog of over 1,000 parts and accessories ensures that keeping your equipment running is straightforward. RTi also built an online parts ordering system specifically to give end-users direct access to the same components available through their distributor network, making maintenance and repair of RTi equipment more convenient than ever.
