ABC Equipment Rental & Sales sells and rents almost anything a professional contractor or industrious homeowner needs
By Mitch Allen
It’s no secret that these days it takes time for manufacturers to ship new orders, so if you are a contractor in need of new equipment, the time to act is now. “If you want your equipment by the end of the year, you should order it now,” explains Alan Zatik who owns ABC Equipment Rental & Sales in Brunswick and Avon, along with co-owner Jamie Terpay.
And thanks to strong relationships with manufactures and suppliers, these two have better access to inventory than many dealers, even if you need popular equipment like RTVs and track loaders.
Track loaders—or track concrete buggies—run on tracks instead of wheels so they go through the mud better. “And with a rotating bucket, you don’t have to shovel in material,” Alan adds. “You rotate and dump right into foundation or footer. Plus, you make fewer runs. It’s all about efficiency.”
Section 179 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code
Taking delivery of your new equipment before the end of the year is important because that way you may be able to take advantage of Section 179 of the United States Internal Revenue Code, which allows you to write off equipment purchases up to $1 million this year—in 2023—instead of depreciating the expense over time. This means a huge tax saving this year.{1}
The equipment your business needs may or may not qualify, so please consult your tax adviser before relying on any purchase to qualify.
Contractors and Homeowners
ABC Equipment Rental & Sales sells and rents almost anything a professional contractor or industrious homeowner needs, including excavators, dozers, backhoes, forklifts, skid steers and manlifts. And they know the industry.
“Like every other business, contractors want to be profitable, completing each job safely and on schedule,” Alan says. “Every job has a deadline. You don’t want people dilly-dallying on the jobsite. So, put the ladders away and rent two 60-foot manlifts so you can work both sides of the job. Right now, scissor lifts and boom lifts are popular for painting, tree trimming, replacing gutters, whatever you have to do up high. And with our towable lifts, you save money on delivery.”
ABC sells and/or rents top-quality brands, like Kubota, Genie, JLG, Skyjack, Wacker, Solar-Tech, Towmaster, Stihl, Honda, Mustang, Gehl, and more.
“We offer a complete line of Stihl equipment, including chain saws and leaf blowers,” Alan says. “Although blowers are popular for dealing with fall leaves, many people rely on them to clear snow.”
And speaking of snow, ABC carries SnoEx brine spreaders for melting ice, along with blades that can be mounted on your utility vehicle.
Easy Financing
Because ABC is locally owned and completely independent, they’re flexible, able to change things for the benefit of the client and get them their equipment faster. In many cases, a portion of your rental can apply to an eventual purchase, with pre-agreed-upon terms.
In addition, ABC works with local banks to help you get financed, and most manufacturers offer their own financing, including Kubota. Right now, on brand new equipment, get 0% A.P.R. ranging from 24-36 months with a $3,000 instant rebate available on the purchases of select, new Kubota equipment.{2}
