Magnetic Lifters are a Small Spend at Year End

A great time to think about purchasing additional machinery and equipment for the shop floor is near the end of the third quarter of the calendar year. Good decision making for capital expenditures takes planning and strategy to optimize any current tax advantages to purchasing and placing equipment in use prior to December 31.

Tax laws change each year, so it is always wise to seek professional tax advice on what purchases are eligible, when they need to be placed in service and what limitations are enforced for the current year.


When developing your machinery and equipment purchase plan to benefit from all the applicable tax savings, do not forget to consider your shop’s lifting needs. Below the hook magnetic lifters are a small spend to top off your capital expenditure plan you may be finalizing right about now.


In comparison to larger machinery and equipment that may cost 6 figures with orders that take months to fulfill, magnetic lifters are a small spend that can add to your capital expenditures without having to wait months to receive and place in service.
