What's Best for Me? Overall, there is a market for everything. In terms of sheer roadworthiness, a new vehicle promises to be the most reliable, and have the fewest surprises. It is challenging to weigh out what will always provide the best value for a given situation but several things must always be considered. Usage: If you deliver over rougher terrain, and perhaps have demanding and mission critical needs, it is likely that nothing less than new equipment can "deliver" to your requirements. If, however, you deliver to local suburban roadways, and mostly residential, often having a backup, then maybe you don't need to invest more capital in having brand new equipment. There are varying degrees here, judge your situation for yourself! Overall Budget: Certainly having more money to spend, makes buying brand new a more likely option. If you have that option, you may be doing yourself better to invest a little more, but have a new vehicle warranty, and know exactly how your delivery vehicle has been maintained from day 1. Your Business Particulars: Perhaps you have a full time mechanic at your shop. That might make you the perfect candidate for a used tank or truck. Someone who can make it efficient for you to maintain used equipment may be a competitive angle you should take advantage of. Either way, we sell only qualified used equipment, so if you see it at our facility, you can already be assured by the Allied Qualified used vehicle What about Changeovers? If you have either a tank or a truck that is in really good shape, (but the other half of the team is past it's time) don't get rid of it. A Changeover in either direction makes great sense for you. Allied Tank has extensive experience at retro fits of Tanks and Cabs including LP Bobtails. Changeovers certainly involve more than simply swapping a working tank on a new vehicle. With plumbing and UL electrical to manage, care must be taken, and experience put to use being sure the new match is as good as new. In both engineering, workmanship, and Tank Truck Experience you will find no equal to Allied Tank. Allied's quality? It's everywhere.
