California is Calling

Ledwell at ARA The Rental Show

Business success is a top priority for any industry. Understanding how to manage and nurture a company is important to developing a strong, noteworthy brand. This is a universal concept, and the American Rental Association has taken the opportunity to provide this needed insight for members. From February 17th to the 20th of 2019, ARA will be hosting their annual Rental Show in Anaheim, CA.

The show will feature multiple education opportunities, such as a keynote session featuring Kevin O’Leary from the hit show Shark Tank, a Young Professionals Network Reception, a Women in Rental session, and much more. The intent is to create a stronger network between rental companies and those who support them, like manufacturers and those who use their services. The event is all about learning how to make your company the best it can be and speaking with other members of your community to understand the industry standard.

The rental industry is a very important part of the American workforce. They are the backbone of some companies, because they provide them with the means to get the job done. Otherwise some companies might not be able to function as the should, and would not be as efficient. Furthermore, people might find themselves at a loss if it were not for these types of companies.

Ledwell believes that all industries provide an essential service for the world around them. We will be attending this show in support of the rental community. We will be located at booth number 5735, eager to hear about your experiences and provide our services in any way possible. We want to learn about you.

Stop by and share your wisdom with us, and show us the way you work on social media with #lovemyledwell!

Preventative Maintenance in the Field

Ledwell Lube Buddy tanks

When you’re on the go, working a time-sensitive job, or just looking for convenience, you need access to equipment Preventive Maintenance fast. Ledwell has your quick solution for your field equipment PM service and maintenance. Our Lube Buddies provide an easy and efficient way for you to keep your equipment serviced and ready to go. This equipment can be used as a mobile unit or as a stationary, portable maintenance center on your job site!

Our Lube Buddy, Jr. is suited for your light-duty vehicles. Its smaller stature gives it a lighter weight, making it easy to move from location to location and convenient to place. This piece of equipment comes with spill and overflow pans to minimize mess and non-corrosive pipe fittings to ensure longevity.

Lube Skid for sale by Ledwell

We’ve got you covered if you’re looking for something a little more heavy-duty. This equipment can turn any medium-duty hauling vehicle into a skid-mounted, self-contained fuel and lube service center! Much like the Lube Buddy, Jr., the Lube Buddy Max is designed in such a way as to prevent excessive spillover and ensure a long lifespan.

And we’ve decided to offer more value for your buck at the upcoming 2019 American Rental Association (ARA) show. For all attendants, Ledwell is prepared to offer a free compressor upgrade for any Lube Buddy, Jr. purchased at the show! This free upgrade will make your unit completely self-contained, eliminating chords and other protruding elements with a gas-powered compressor. With this set-up, the Lube Buddy, Jr. is your most compact and efficient piece of service equipment!

Either of these units must be moved using a forklift so as to both prevent injury and increase efficiency in the workplace. They must also always be placed on a level surface to avoid any spills and to ensure proper operation. Be sure to always read the accompanying operator manuals in regard to all pieces of equipment you own. Doing so can prevent damage to the unit and highly reduces the risk of injury during use.

Stay prepared with our Lube Buddies and other service equipment.

In the Community: Watersprings Ranch

Watersprings Ranch is a non-profit organization in Texarkana, Arkansas, that helps needy children. Founded in 1989 by David and Carla Whatley, the goal of the Ranch is to bring children together and help them support each other, to understand they are loved, not only by those around them but by God.

Watersprings Ranch houses almost 50 children at a time on their land. They operate as a Christian-based residential group home that extends their helping hands to children of all backgrounds. Their largest legacy resides in building safe, educational, and happy homes for children who have not had that in their past. Watersprings Ranch provides extracurricular activities, education, therapy services, and special needs services for all children in the program who need them. The goal is to provide them with a normal childhood. More than anything, the kids need to be kids, and that’s the message of the Watersprings Ranch philosophy. They are privately funded, using donations from those in the community to build a foundation for the kids. Ledwell employees, along with many other community leaders, have donated time, resources, and more to the children of this facility.

Take Advantage of Section 179

One of the most important things for your business is to manage finances in a smart way. The American government has made this easier today than ever for businesses like yours. Section 179 is an important right off deduction on equipment that all businesses who spend under $3,500,000 on equipment should take advantage of. This incentive gives your company a chance to deduct the full price of any qualifying new or used equipment or software bought during the given tax year. You can write off as much as $1,000,000 in qualifying purchases!

The Section 179 website offers various tools and educational materials for you to figure and understand the tax code. One of these useful tools is their Section 179 calculator. With this, you can put your finances for the year into the correct boxes and determine how much money your business can save for the year!

Ledwell offers a variety of complying equipment. Some great choices you might find to be a part of our inventory. For example, Ledwell currently has a 2016 model Freightliner M2 Crew Cab chassis that is still like new. This cab has no previous owners and is offered with a full warranty! You can gain a sturdy, peak condition piece of equipment at a lower cost and possibly even less than that with the Section 179 tax code.

To learn more about how Section 179 works, visit their online government website and find out if you and your business qualify today!

Solar Ramp: Using Nature’s Resources

Efficiency and durability are just two of the many things to consider when loading heavy-duty equipment. To ensure that you get both, consider Ledwell’s Solar Ramp! Not only is it dependable in helping you to get your job done, but it can also prove to be a very helpful piece of equipment.

Solar energy powers a battery that powers a motor allowing the ramp to move to the desired height in roughly thirty seconds with a push of a button. The battery will stay powered for numerous uses after a full charge allowing use even when the sun is nowhere to be found. Ledwell’s Solar Ramp is still completely customizable so that the customer gets what they want, how they want it. The Solar Ramp is also available on new equipment or as a retrofit kit.

Ledwell’s Sales and Engineering Teams will be happy to assist you in selecting your ramp to accommodate your location’s needs by adding renewable-energy features.

See you at WJTA

Ledwell’s next big event is the Water Jet Technology Association Expo (WJTA) from November 1st through the 2nd. This event will be hosted at Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana. In visiting this trade show, Ledwell is taking part in the chance to join various companies and organizations from within and in association with the rising hydro-blasting, vacuum truck, industrial cleaning and water jet industries.

In support of our vacuum community, Ledwell will be hosting a booth, number 530, where we’ll show our newly designed Blower Vac Plus (BVP) Unit. This vacuum was designed by Ledwell engineers for the vacuum professional that needs compact equipment, easier maintenance, and a coded tank. This is the only tank from Ledwell that comes standard coded, but it packs the same power as the rest and offers you the ability to haul hazardous materials. Ledwell will be working alongside members of our trusted partner, Vacuum Truck Rentals.

The vacuum industry creates safety and security for those in various communities. Their work encompasses both ensuring that other industries get their jobs done and removing toxic waste and materials from areas that would otherwise be harmful to individuals. This is why Ledwell is concerned with offering the best value and most reliable vacuum units on the market. Our design is standard, but completely customizable so that you can be sure that, whatever the job may be, it will be done in a manner appropriate and secure.

While early registration is preferred for this show, it is optional to arrive as a walk-in. You don’t have to be a member of the WJTA organization to enjoy this experience. The goal of this event is connecting all members of this field and work to create a safer, more technologically driven realm of operation.

To show your support, or just see us in action, come stop by booth 530 and learn more. This event will host live demonstrations, an opportunity for networking, a learning experience with new industry information, and the New Orleans Experience! The weather is expected to be nice, so get out, take pictures, and visit our social media sites to show us how you celebrated your industry!
