🏆 The Verdict Is Clear
The TL-500 isn’t just an alternative; it’s a financial and operational upgrade. It delivers a ~50% reduction in total monthly cost while eliminating fuel logistics, engine maintenance, noise, and spill liability.
The Full Comparison
A breakdown of the operational realities that data tables don’t always show.
Mobilization
Diesel & Hybrid: 1,400 kg mast requires crane/forklift hire (≥ 1,000 SAR per move).
Battery Upgrade: 52 kg unit; six fit in a standard pickup, cutting transport & setup costs by over 50%.
Maintenance & Downtime
Diesel: Requires full servicing (oil, filters, belts) every 450–500 hours.
Battery Upgrade: No engine. No servicing. Firmware updates only. This means near-zero mechanical downtime.
