A little incentive to ease the pain of rising costs!

Part of running a business means controlling costs. While cost-savings decisions are often available, sometimes the costs are out of our control.

Like many of you, our insurance premiums have increased for the second year in a row as a result of the Affordable Car Act. Once again, they have doubled, resulting in a 400% increase in just 24 months! While there may be relief in the future, it will take some time.

Wiggins refuses to compromise the safety, quality, and longevity of our products (which is unequaled in the industry). Because of these significant increases, it appears we will have to raise our prices in 2017.

However, we have some good news. If you are planning on purchasing a lift in 2017, place your order and deposit before December 31, 2016. You tell us when you want your lift delivered any time in 2017, but you’ll get it for the 2016 price!

Place your order now!

The law allows a full deduction for long-term, personal property purchase that you use in your business at least 50% of the time. The aggregate cost of all items deducted cannot exceed $500,000. There are other restrictions, as the law is intended to help small business (but there are provisions for larger business, too!) As always, check with your tax experts!

We are proud to announce that we have recently chosen Volvo Penta as the preferred OEM supplier of EPA Tier 4 Final diesel engines for our line of industrial material handling machines.

Our first forklift with a Volvo Penta six-cylinder TAD870 engine was deployed for stevedoring operations at Port Hueneme, California, and is performing admirably. More recently, we delivered a Marina Bull with a Volvo Penta four-cylinder TAD571 engines to Bolton Landing in the Finger Lakes of upstate New York. This week, another Marina Bull with the Volvo Penta will head for the State of Delaware.
