Question
One:
How much does it cost to haul an extra 600 -1000 pounds of steel around? Answer:
We are estimating between one and three gallons of fuel a day.
Sound
like too much? Let's do the Math
Of course we are
just guesstimating but if you figure 220 working days in a year and 40 - 100
miles a day, this is not out of the question for a work truck. Right?
At .10 cents per
mile savings with an aluminum body, which we feel is conservative, you would
save between $4.00 and $10.00 per day. $4.00 per day x
220days = $880.00 savings. At $10.00 per day x
220 days = $2200.00 savings.
Adds
up quick doesn't it?
Question two: What is the biggest threat to service
bodies? Answer: rust
Rust
is the number one killer of service bodies. Especially in the northeast
regions of the USA where salt is used for ice control and coastal regions. Steel
just does not hold up to it.
You can put all
the fancy coatings you want on steel but they cannot withstand the constant
sand blasting from the road and they can't paint the nooks
and crannies where moisture can get to.
They may look good
from the topside but underneath is where they get blasted and underneath is
where they fall apart. Some don't last more than a year.
We use a marine
grade aluminum that is used by boat manufacturers world wide. You don't need
to paint them at all and they should last longer than
you do.
Question three: What is the resale value of an
aluminum service body compared to a steel body after 4 years? Estimate - steel
$500 - $1500 in perfect shape. Aluminum $4000 - $6000 in perfect shape. Depending
on the style.
With an aluminum
service body it makes sense to transfer the body
to your next truck. Why not. A steel bed will cost you more to transfer than
the body is worth.
Question four: What are you waiting for? We have shown you how
our aluminum service bodies will pay for themselves just being made from aluminum.
