WINNING THE BATTLE OF RUST
Fleet managers are consistently outlining department strategies to beat back the battle of rust. To win this battle to maintain the appearance and life of their fleets at the lowest cost possible is near impossible with paint or is not cost effective with higher priced metals. Presently, Stainless steel and aluminum truck bodies are available, however, very high initial cost keep them out of reach.
Galvanizing is the answer. The answer to the question is YES we afford galvanizing? YES, when the rebates from the body manufacture are substraced from the manufacture, the elimination of painting from the RFP at purchase. And the total elimination of several sanding blasting and painting efforts during the life of the vehicle pays for galvanizing. The owner actually SAVES money over painted mild steel, definitely aluminum, and absolutely stainless steel equipment at the time of purchase. Three to five years into the life of the vehicle, the owner pockets the money set aside to paint a painted body. YES, hot dipped galvanizing save money over the life of the vehicle.
