The 2011 Stimulus Tax Rule: 100% Deduction on Used Equipment Purchases With or Without Financing

posted Nov 8, 2011 11:28 AM by Steve Mizerak

Don't Miss Out when purchasing a USED TRUCK SCALE or other piece of equipment.

Used vehicle scale purchases can, in most cases, qualify for the 2011 stimulus tax break for businesses. Here's an example of how the special tax rule, known as IRS Section 179, can save money:

Purchase a Used Truck Scale:$20,000
Total first-year deduction on federal taxes:$20,000
Tax savings on the purchase:
(assumes a tax bracket of 35% and sufficient offsetting earnings)
$7,000
Lowered cost of equipment, factoring in the tax savings:     $13,000

Don't miss the opportunity to exercise your right to this tax incentive. In a few short weeks, the deductions will be history. Consult your tax advisor to make sure you qualify. Read more about it on the IRS  Section 179 Info Page.

Explosives Supply Company chooses Emery Winslow

posted Jul 2, 2010 3:05 PM by Steve Mizerak

Are you wondering why would a company pay more for a 100-ft long EMERY WINSLOW HydroStatic™ truck scale? We think the comment below will explain better than we ever could.

This note was sent in directly to the Emery Winslow Corporate Office:

“Just a note to update you on our 60-ft 70 Ton Hydrostatic “RAMBO” scale. We regularly wash out these scales with a fire truck and have never done anything to them since installing them in 1996, so we knew they were tough. We just didn’t know how Damn Tough. Two weeks ago we found out. During a summer storm, scales took a direct hit; and I mean “DIRECT” hit. A truck driver that happened to be driving by to be loaded said he thought “he had met his maker”. He also stated that a “fireball” went the entire length of the deck. Although it fried two computers in two separate buildings, the scales never missed a beat. Thanks again for selling us the toughest scale on earth and if anyone has a hard time believing this just have them call me.” 

Mr. Charles Boone, V.P. of the Explosives Supply Company,(828) 756-4426

Emery Winslow Hydraulic Truck Scales are built tough. With hydraulic load cells, impervious to damage from water and lightning and also explosion proof, you can have piece of mind your weighing equipment will still be standing tall. Contact Us with your application requirements today.
