66% of Landscapers Have Put-Off Equipment Purchases This Year*
Facts are facts, and the economy has created some real challenges this past year for business owners. But one thing is for sure, no one gets wealthy without dedication to continuous improvement. The concept of “lean business processes” has been a scientific engineering standard for decades. Recently, these concepts have been widely promoted in the landscape industry. The companies who have adopted “lean” within their company have been able to GAIN business this year!
In many cases, investing in equipment that improves productivity will help you become “lean”. When you invested in a zero turn riding mower, you did so to improve productivity. You could have went out and bought a garden tractor for thousands of dollars less, but you understand that more productivity equals more revenue and more revenue equals more profits for your pocket. Super Lawn Trucks builds productivity enhancing trucks for market leading companies nationwide.

The good news from within Super Lawn Trucks, the only truck body builder company in North America dedicated 100% to serve the lawn and landscape industry, is a rare case of success. We are 55% better off than the industry!
Commercial Truck Industry Down 45%
Within the last 12 months GM closed their commercial duty manufacturing division ending production of over 30,000 work trucks per year! Sterling trucks closed their medium duty truck operations. Both Ford & International ceased production of their Low Cab Forward medium duty trucks. This has reduced annual supply of medium duty trucks by another 7,000 trucks per year! What happens to prices when supply goes down? Eventually, prices go up.
Consider this. Over 1000 automotive dealerships closed in 2008-2009 as GM & Chrysler went bankrupt. Banks have tightened credit to the point that only the most solid companies in America can get financing to expand their companies. These events are reshaping an industry!
Isuzu Commercial Trucks of America has been a product partner with Super Lawn Trucks for over a decade. Based on the most recent industry data available, Isuzu is second only to Ford in commercial truck sales in the USA. Isuzu owns 68.9% of the low cab forward truck market in the USA! In fact, 81% of every Isuzu truck sold in the USA since 1984 is still registered in use! Amazing durability! Because of “lean” approaches to business, Isuzu is still profitable. In fact, Isuzu is expanding its dealership network nationwide! It is also a fact that Isuzu inventory is at the lowest level in recent history. This is contributing to the problem of cab/chassis shortages.
In order for Super Lawn Trucks to maintain its position as a forward thinking, market leader, we have expanded our offering to include Mitsubishi/Fuso cab forward trucks. Mitsubishi/Fuso has a significant supply of cab forward trucks that work perfectly with the Super Lawn Truck system. We are now offering the FE series trucks to expand the SLT line up.
EPA Mandates Raise Diesel Truck Prices $5000 in 2010
The US Environmental Protection Agency has mandated lower pollutants from diesel trucks. The new equipment installed on these trucks will increase the costs by a whopping $5000 overnight! This is an increase of over 10% (on average) for a medium duty truck. My goal is to help you understand that you have an opportunity to save yourself thousands of dollars if you BUY NOW. Make the decision, place your order. Start improving your productivity and avoid this immediate price increase.
For those of you interested in lowering your carbon footprint, building awareness about green initiatives in your company, and improving your image as green company, the lower emmission, clean diesel trucks will be a great addittion to your fleet. We have a diesel emmission report we can provide you that explains exactly how much of an impact your trucks have on the environment. Call for details. 866-923-0027

Availability is about to reach an all time low for commercial duty work trucks.
