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. Our other features will save you time and add organization which is also money.
