Versalift and BrandFX are both Time Manufacturing Company brands with value propositions that feature lightweight, durable equipment that is both easy to use and easy to maintain. There are several key advantages to lightweight equipment, including improved operator safety, greater fleet efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
Lightweight Equipment Leads To Lowers Costs
Versalift and BrandFX both offer lightweight, innovative equipment. The U.S. Department of Energy states that by reducing average vehicle weight by 100 lbs, fleet MPG is increased by 2%, which can save commercial fleets significant money. Many fleets are incorporating hybrid and electric vehicles into their operations. Opting for the use of lightweight composite BrandFX truck bodies or smarter, stronger Versalift aerial lifts improves fleet efficiency..
BrandFX – Fiberglass Division – Advanced Composite Materials
BrandFX advanced composite truck bodies can create the opportunity for fleets to downsize their equipment without affecting payload capacity, which results in significant bottom line savings. Data suggest that by taking advantage of truck rightsizing, alternative fuels and lightweight materials, fleets can make significant gains in reducing fuel consumption.
BrandFX manufactures truck bodies from advanced composite materials which are, pound for pound, lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel. It is common for BrandFX truck bodies to be remounted onto several new chassis over the course of their life cycles;many are seen in operation more than 30 years after their initial purchase date.
