Prefer to preserve your cash and still have a practically new Kalmar/Ottawa Truck—take the refurbished route

March 24, 2011 By Leave a Comment

We all know the economy has been tough the last several years. Are we turning the corner? Your guess is as good as ours. So in our mind, it’s still a great time to buy used and to refurbish. Or why not let us re-power and refurbish your existing truck. Are the frame and cab good? If you’re thinking about going that route, it’s one of our specialties. It’s in our bailiwick as they say. Our sweet spot. It’s almost our favorite thing to do, besides play golf.

There are many benefits to working with Louisville Switching Truck Sales to acquire or refurbish a used Ottawa. We’ve listed a few below:

  • We have a constant stream of incoming used trucks.
  • We know where to find used trucks.
  • We have a loyal customer base that looks to us to sell and service their used trucks.
  • We keep a constant watch for used trucks.
  • Working with us to buy or lease a refurbished Ottawa saves money up front.
  • Working with us to refurbish a used Ottawa terminal tractor allows you to avoid some of the regulations that are required for a new engine and truck.

We recently finished a refurbishment of an Ottawa, and we have provided some before and after pictures below.

Dead set on a new unit? We can sell those too.

Our new service truck is making it’s rounds now

August 11, 2010 By Leave a Comment

At Louisville Switching Truck Sales, service is very important to our customers and thus very important to us. Our mobile service trucks and parts/delivery truck make it possible for us to service customers on site. Sure there are still times when it makes sense to haul your truck back to our service bay, but many times service can be done in the field.

Our new mobile service truck is unique in it’s ability to change oil through a closed loop system. The truck vacuums the oil out through a connector hose and then refills it. It’s equipped with oil tanks on each side of the truck for this purpose. We were excited about our new truck and we hope our customers will be as well.

Another part of servicing customers, is delivering parts when you need them most. Our parts and delivery truck is also pictured below. We’ll put some miles on this truck keeping our customers stocked with the parts they need.

What type of parts do we sell?

We’re glad you asked. We sell Insta Chain Automatic Ice-chain Parts, Interstate Batteries, Ottawa Truck Parts, Cummins Diesel Engine Parts, Jasper Engines and Transmissions, Weller Reman Truck Parts and many other misc Truck Parts,

If you’re in the market for any of these, we’d love to earn your business.

Demo Video, Ottawa Truck versus a Day Cab

July 23, 2010 By Leave a Comment

So why purchase an Ottawa Terminal Tractor (aka, yard dog, mule, spotter)?

Not just because they are neat. Even though they are pretty incredible.

Not just because they are affordable. Although we can find used Ottawa’s, order you new Ottawa’s and even lease them to you for great prices.

Not just because we said so. Don’t do anything because a salesman said so.

Not just because they are durable. They can take a lick and with our service contracts we keep you running when issues do arise.

Not just because they are sleek and fit in tight places. Well actually that’s a pretty good reason if you’re in that situation.

Here is the biggest reason why you need to get an Ottawa Terminal Tractor for your business. They outperform a day cab 3-1 in a time test. That’s a serious increase in productivity.

If this math makes sense to you, give us a call. You’re the kind of customer we love. The kind that sees a good business decision and acts on it. We’d love the opportunity to serve another incredible customer.

Contact us today to start the conversation.
