3 Advantages to Snow & Ice Equipment Preseason Orders
Alright, let’s talk. The tri-state area has had its first decent snow season in a while. Pair that with previous subpar winters and wet summers and there’s probably a lot of equipment or infrastructure that needs attention before summer. The last thing on your mind is more snow prep — but May is exactly when you should be planning ahead.
Right now, snow & ice manufacturers are preparing to restock your local snow plow dealer with new plows, salt spreaders and deicers, and it is the perfect time to take advantage of availability, pricing and getting ahead of the competition.
Take your pick — whether you are replacing a snowplow, upgrading your salt spreader or expanding your fleet, there’s no settling or compromising on the equipment you want.
Preseason orders are typically finalized by the end of May and shipped mid-July. That gives you about five months to plan around installation and ensure everything operates smoothly before you get the first storm call.
T.P.’s full-service shop offers flexible appointments and peace of mind so that you can focus on the summer season.
Beat the competition — placing an order in May sets you and your snow removal business up for a profitable winter. While other businesses will deal with stock shortages, long lead times and peak-season pricing, you’ll avoid the headache!
Additionally, not only will your equipment be ready, costs will already be allocated, allowing you to confidently price services and start converting landscaping clients into snow removal clients before the first storm arrives and everyone is scrambling.
Take the win — there’s no freight added! Preseason orders are shipped in bulk and planned, which eliminates the need for additional freight charges you’d typically pay during peak season. It’s a no-brainer way to reduce upfront costs and increase your margins.
Purchasing snow removal equipment during preseason isn’t just convenient, it’s strategic. It gives you control over your equipment, schedule, pricing and ultimately your potential profitability. Spring may have just entered the chat, but winter will be here again quickly. Prepare this preseason and be ahead when it arrives.
