Fleet Incentives

Congress has passed Section 179 to be extended into 2014 and it does not face much opposition as the law moves to the Senate. Section 179 is designed specifically for small businesses and it allows owners to expense the first $500,000 spent on equipment used in "active conduct of trade or business." (Purchases above $2 million will reduce the expensive allowance dollar-for-dollar).

This is great news for small construction, electrician, plumbing, and other technical businesses. Section 179 tax incentives can be expended on equipment such as truck bodies for these trades. Businesses may find these incentives especially attractive for fleet use. Section 179 can be applied to pickup trucks and utility bodies such as the Load'N'Go by Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies. Load'N'Go Slip-on Bodies can be customized for different industries with options such as hydraulic drop-down ladder racks, an 1000 lb capacity pull-out parts drawer, and 100% extension dual-action slide.

Energy Retrofit Construction

The energy retrofit market is steadily growing and the segment of the construction industry presents some unique opportunities as the economy recovers. With the economic downturn making credit availability for new construction scarce, construction contractors have been turning towards retrofit and renovation. Building and facility owners are continuously taking advantage of the financial and environmental benefits that come from mechanical, electrical, lighting, and window retrofits. Benefits include energy grants, tax credits, and energy savings that can be used to repay the funding for these renovations.

Energy retrofit construction requires the contractors to closely analyze the current level of electricity, heating, water, and other energy uses in a building and guarantee savings based on similar usage following the renovation. The contractor needs to be confident that the energy efficient upgrades will provide a company a certain amount of annual savings. With a combination of factors such as enhancements in energy efficiency technology, incentive programs, and an increased desire for "green" buildings, companies have plenty of reason to want these upgrades. Most of the facilities wanting energy retrofit work are in the public sector in the form of school districts and hospitals.

Project managers and contractors are getting more involved, taking clients through the whole process to ensure their visions are brought to life. Contractors are made instantly aware of cost expectations and can serve as experts to the client. They keep up with the current construction trends and can advise on matters such as energy efficiency. Energy Management Systems are one way to do this, with automated controls that monitor and optimize energy use. EMS automatically track temperatures, energy and consumption inside buildings to create the most comfortable environment at the lowest cost. Construction Business Owner Magazine states that "by installing a system that uses energy efficiently, clients are playing a proactive role in reducing energy consumption on behalf of their customers."

The prospering energy retrofit construction industry requires appropriate tools for the job. Most vehicle company's new model pickup trucks are appropriately fuel efficient, lighter, and create less carbon emissions such as the 2014 Ford F-150. The Durashell by Fleetwest Transferable Truck Bodies is also a perfect fit for the industry. Durashells are light and completely transferable on and off a standard pickup truck in minutes with no-holes-drilled installation. This transfers to fleet and fuel savings for construction contractors. Call your Fleetwest representative toll-free at 866-497-7200 to get more information or go online to get a quote.

Now through May 30th, get even more savings with 5% off any new Durashell model transferable truck body.
