guess that's a lease, right?
what's the actual "out of pocket" payment when taxes are added to the monthly payment
Thanks
BTW, great looking build, really enjoyed the pics

Unlike you my arms do not extend beyond my knees
and I have not been slinging live hogs in to the back of a truck to go to market for the last 30 years
I like Jim Martins hydraulic set up.

This is true. There are companies like Penske who do leases and rentals. there are Penske's everywhere! they use a very hight qty of Isuzu chassis. They are authorized to perform warranty work for most chassis brands they use. One thing I can't answer is to how extensive the repairs they get into.
There is a growing mobile company called Dickinson Fleet Services that is currently servicing around 100 Aero Tech Truckmounts. Convenient thing is they are mobile. They are a great fit to service the chassis and backend cleaning equipment.
i am working with them to come up with a coverage map.
there are also Interlinks and Jon Don's currently servicing our Truckmounts.
If you have a local mechanic that you like to use, we encourage bringing them to the truck install for training. It can get costly if you have multiple people that you would like trained, so we also offer coming to you to train.

Jeremy I have a suggestion for you BUT their is one stipulation if you use it and that is it must be called the ( Mardie Step) or I guess you could call it the (Stair Way To Heven) JK
I think that in order to make getting in and out of this truck user friendly that you can install a pull out set of steps somewhat like the RVs use . Their should be enough room between the frame rails to mount this.

We used to offer an aluminum ramp that would store between chassis frame rails like you would see on a moving van. We have tabled the rear ramp since it went stagnant.
it seems we are starting to see the need again.
What would you guys prefer?
ramp?
hoist?
lift gate?
I have been looking at a really attractive aluminum deck Tommy lift gate for box trucks.

Mardie, great idea! I think we have something that would fit the bill. We have a design the gives you 2 steps. It's incorporated into the rear bumper and can be retrofitted to existing trucks. I will get a picture posted after the Vegas show.

I do not know how many steps it would take but because it can not be mounted to close to the ground maybe the bottom 2 steps could be flipped down from the base pull out steps.

I use my ramp all the time when I get the cimex out. It is awesome. Whenever I do floods and have to pull lots of fans and my dehu's out the ramp is the way to go. Safer than a lift and faster. In not sure how comfortable I'd be with an employee pulling stuff out a different method.

two full sized men can load and unload a Cimex no problem but I suppose an embedded ramp would be nice for those ultra rare occasions..

If you are doing a lot of dehu's then I would say a ramp is your best bet......it would take to much time to be lifting and lowering one at a time...but for the occasional cimex.. or my rotary that I use everyday..for me the hoist is the way to go..in this case it is faster then pulling out and setting up the ramp.....just hook up and take the weight off and swing it out then lower......lift it back up and swing it right into place...nothing unsafe about it and much easier on you.....
It does not matter if you have 3 guys on the truck..who the hell wants to lift that thing in and out....and take the chance of someone getting hurt...the thing weighs a ton.......

Jim your carpet is filthy.
Run a Cimex over it for the love of mike..

Gosh Mike I didn't think it was THAT bad! 0 down payment, no 10k residual, included Ti, 15 inch spinner, reels, extra hoses, install (can't remember what else).
So 1,572 + (167 put back monthly for residual) would be $1,717 vs $1,313 and I can get my truck chassis worked on anywhere (actually) I have 2 shops that are in my barter trade group. The way I look at either truck is, anytime one can take receipts from a desent day and make his truck/equipment payment then they don't have a bad deal!

I'm sure they have the engineering capabilities to put a piece of carpet under the wands.
