Time for Section 179 Tax Savings is Running Our for 2025, But It’s Not Too Late

Barry Material Handling Equipment, New Forklifts, Regulatory, Terminal Tractors , , , ,

Investing in forklifts, terminal tractors, container handlers and other material-handling equipment is a necessity for warehouse, manufacturing, distribution and port operations. But in 2025, thanks to favorable tax rules, such purchases can also deliver a powerful tax benefit right away: Section 179 expensing (plus bonus depreciation).

Below, we will explain:

  • What Section 179 is, in simple terms
  • How it applies specifically to forklifts and material-handling equipment
  • The 2025 limits and mechanics you need to be aware of
  • The benefits — and some cautions — of using Section 179 for forklift purchases

What Is Section 179?

Under U.S. tax law, “Section 179” is a provision that allows a business to deduct (i.e. “expense”) the cost of certain qualifying property in the year it is placed in service — rather than capitalizing the cost and writing it off gradually through depreciation over many years.

Ordinarily, most machinery or equipment would be subject to depreciation (for example, over 5 or 7 years, using the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System, MACRS). Section 179 lets you “front-load” that deduction, within limits, so you get more tax benefit right away.

Because the tax code also provides bonus depreciation (or “special depreciation allowances”), many businesses combine Section 179 and bonus depreciation to immediately write off 100% of the cost in the first year, provided certain rules are satisfied.

Why Forklifts, Terminal Tractors, Container Handlers and Material-Handling Equipment Qualify

Forklifts, lift trucks, warehouse racking, conveyors, loading dock equipment, terminal tractors, container handlers and similar material-handling machinery are generally tangible property used in business operations. Because they are “property used in a trade or business,” they often qualify for Section 179 expensing.

Key points:

  1. New or used are both eligible (if “new to you”)
    The equipment doesn’t necessarily need to be brand new — a used forklift may qualify, as long as it was not previously in your books and is used predominantly for business purposes.
  2. Business use requirement
    The forklift must be used more than 50% for business. If there’s any personal or non-business use, you must allocate accordingly.
  3. “Placed in service” in the tax year
    The purchase (or financing) must occur, and the equipment must be ready to use (i.e. installed, operational) by December 31 of the tax year in question.
  4. Within overall limits
    There are ceilings to how much total Section 179 deduction you can take in a year. Also, if your total qualifying purchases exceed a threshold, the deduction begins to phase out.

Thus, for many businesses purchasing related equipment, Section 179 (plus bonus depreciation) offers a way to deduct large capital outlays immediately, rather than stretching them over years.

How the Deduction Works in Practice (Example)

To illustrate, let’s run through a hypothetical scenario. (This is illustrative only; consult your tax advisor for your numbers.)

  • Your business buys new equipment for $100,000 in 2025.
  • You use it 100% for business.
  • You have not met the Section 179 cap, and your total qualifying equipment purchases are below the phase-out threshold.

Step 1: Elect Section 179
You apply Section 179 to deduct, say, the full $100,000 (or a portion, depending on your other asset purchases and your taxable business income).

Step 2: Bonus Depreciation
Because Bonus Depreciation is 100%, any remaining basis (if any) may also be deducted immediately, essentially allowing a full first-year expensing.

Result:
You deduct the full $100,000 in 2025, reducing your taxable income (and your tax liability) in that year, instead of spreading depreciation over 5–7 years under MACRS.

Without Section 179 + bonus depreciation, you might have been limited to a smaller first-year depreciation (e.g. a fraction under MACRS), with the balance spread over future years.

Imagine your tax rate is 25%. That $100,000 deduction saves you $25,000 in taxes now (assuming you have sufficient taxable income). And because you got the deduction sooner, you keep more of that cash to reinvest in operations, maintenance, or additional equipment.

Benefits of Using Section 179

Here are the main advantages:

  1. Immediate tax relief
    Rather than waiting years to depreciate equipment, you can significantly reduce your tax burden in the year of purchase. That’s cash you can use earlier.
  2. Improved cash flow
    Because your tax liability is lower, you retain more liquidity to invest back into operations.
  3. Incentive to modernize/upgrade fleets
    The tax code is encouraging capital investment — making it more financially compelling to replace older, less efficient forklifts.
  4. Simplicity & flexibility
    You choose how much of your eligible purchases to expense under Section 179 (i.e. you don’t have to take the maximum).
  5. Used equipment qualifies
    You can apply Section 179 to used forklifts, terminal tractors or container handlers, which helps small or growing operations invest more affordably.
  6. Stacking with bonus depreciation
    Because bonus depreciation is 100% in 2025, you can often deduct the entire cost, even beyond the Section 179 cap (subject to rules).

Things to Watch Out For / Potential Risks

While Section 179 offers a strong incentive, there are pitfalls or constraints to be aware of:

  • Income limitation
    Your Section 179 deduction cannot exceed your business’s taxable income from active operations. If you don’t have enough income, unused deduction may carry forward.
  • Phase-out / cap on total purchases
    If your total qualifying purchases exceed the phase-out threshold, your Section 179 deduction is reduced.
  • Recapture rules
    If your business usage of the equipment falls below 50% in later years, or if you sell the equipment prematurely, some of the deduction may be “recaptured” (i.e. added back to income) in those later years.
  • State conformity
    Some states do not fully conform to the federal Section 179 and bonus depreciation rules. You might not get the same benefit on your state tax return. (Always check your state laws.)
  • Proper documentation
    You need to maintain good records: purchase invoices, installation, date placed in service, percentage of business use, logs, etc. The IRS may ask for proof.
  • Mind the year-end timing
    To qualify, the equipment must be placed in service by December 31. Delays in delivery, installation, or setup could jeopardize eligibility for the tax year.

We always recommend you consult your own tax professional to ensure you receive all the benefits of Section 179 and that your business qualifies for the benefits.

Electric Pallet Jack vs. Electric Walkie Rider

Barry Material Handling Equipment, Productivity , , , , ,

A walkie rider, often referred to as a rider pallet jack or rider pallet truck, is a type of electric material handling equipment used for transporting and moving pallets in warehouses and distribution centers. It is designed to be ridden by the operator, providing several advantages over a standard electric pallet jack, which is typically operated by walking behind it. Here are some benefits of a walkie rider over a standard electric pallet jack:

  1. Operator Efficiency: The most significant advantage of a walkie rider is that it allows the operator to ride on the equipment. This reduces operator fatigue, increases productivity, and allows for faster and more efficient material handling tasks, especially for long-distance transporting.
  2. Faster Travel Speed: Walkie rider pallet jacks generally have higher travel speeds compared to standard electric pallet jacks. This speed improvement can result in quicker cycle times and more efficient operations.
  3. Reduced Operator Strain: Since the operator rides on the walkie rider, there is less physical strain on the operator’s body compared to walking behind a standard pallet jack. This can lead to improved ergonomics and a lower risk of workplace injuries.
  4. Higher Weight Capacity: Walkie rider pallet jacks often have a higher weight capacity than standard pallet jacks. This allows them to handle heavier loads, making them suitable for heavier-duty applications.
  5. Maneuverability: Walkie rider pallet jacks are designed to be highly maneuverable, allowing operators to navigate tight spaces and crowded aisles more easily. This can be crucial in warehouses with limited space.
  6. Battery Life: Many walkie rider pallet jacks come with larger batteries, offering longer runtimes between charges compared to standard pallet jacks. This can increase uptime and productivity.
  7. Versatility: Walkie rider pallet jacks can perform multiple tasks, such as transporting, stacking, and order picking, making them versatile tools for warehouse operations.
  8. Operator Comfort: The rider platform on a walkie rider is designed for operator comfort, often equipped with cushioned platforms and adjustable controls to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.
  9. Safety Features: Walkie rider pallet jacks typically come with safety features such as brake systems, horn signals, and enhanced visibility, ensuring the safety of both the operator and pedestrians.
  10. Reduced Operator Footprint: Because the operator rides on the equipment, there is less of an operator footprint in the aisle. This allows for more efficient use of space in crowded warehouses.

While walkie rider pallet jacks offer numerous benefits, it’s essential to consider your specific material handling needs and the layout of your facility when choosing between a walkie rider and a standard electric pallet jack. Walkie riders are well-suited for applications where speed, efficiency, and operator comfort are critical, but they may not be the best choice for all warehouse settings.  For more information on our CLARK electric pallet jacks, electric walkie rider, stackers or any other material handling product, please contact us at 800-322-5435.

Designed around the powerful 48V Lithium-Ion battery, the TWLi20 readily meets the needs of customers big and small. CLARK proudly adds the TWLi20 Three-Wheel Electric lift truck with integrated Lithium-Ion battery to its fleet of electric trucks. Designed to increase productivity and efficiently, powered by a Lithium-Ion battery, and designed with the operator in mind, the TWLi20 builds on the CLARK legacy of excellent, Built to Last trucks.

Lithium-ion Convenience, Efficiency and Productivity

Lithium-Ion batteries are efficient and maintenance-free, with no battery watering required. The easy-to-operate charger eliminates the need to remove the battery when charging, as well as gives you the ability to use opportunity charging to keep your forklift running all shift long. Lithium-ion batteries are also longer-lasting, more reliable, and require less service than traditional lead-acid batteries.

Operator Comfort

With the slim profile of the lithium-ion battery, the TWLi20 has a spacious operator compartment, with excellent ergonomic features including a retractable seatbelt, fully adjustable armrest, and dual joystick controls that are intuitive and comfortable for operators to use. Additionally, the wide-view mast and high operator seating position allows for excellent sightlines, providing both comfort and enhanced safety for operators. 

Performance

The TWLi20 has a tight turn radius, making it perfect for indoor and narrow aisle applications. The dual-joystick controls direct the movement of the forks, sideshifter, and fork positioner, allowing the operator to navigate the facility with ease. The chasis has a low center of gravity and wide tires, which provides excellent stability for the truck. 

Low Cost of Ownership

The fully enclosed drive, lift, and steer motors lead to less downtime, lower overall cost of ownership, and a higher ROI compared to other models without. The all-electric brakes on the TWLi20 and the powerful Lithium-Ion battery are both maintenance-free, with no brake pads to change or battery watering required. And the hydraulic lift components are sealed against dirt and water, protecting them from contamination.
