Buying New Saves with ACE
The 2025 tax reforms are a game-changer for businesses in construction, waste hauling, demolition, and scrap industries. The reinstatement of 100% first-year bonus depreciation, an increase in the Section 179 deduction cap to $2.5 million, and the new 100% depreciation allowance for certain commercial real property all create an incredible opportunity to invest in equipment that will drive your business forward.
If you’ve been thinking about purchasing a new roll-off trailer, there’s never been a better time. At ACE, we build some of the most reliable, durable, and operator-friendly roll-off trailers in the industry—designed for maximum uptime and long-term value. Now, thanks to these tax benefits, upgrading your fleet can put more money back in your pocket almost immediately.
What the 2025 Tax Changes Mean for Your Business
1. 100% First-Year Bonus Depreciation
The biggest news for equipment buyers is the return of full 100% bonus depreciation. This means you can deduct the entire purchase price of qualifying equipment, including new or used ACE roll-off trailers, in the year you place them into service.
Example:
If you purchase a new ACE roll-off trailer for $120,000, you can deduct the entire $120,000 from your taxable income in 2025.
- At a 25% corporate tax rate, that’s $30,000 in immediate tax savings.
Instead of waiting five to seven years to fully depreciate your investment, you get the entire benefit in the same year you purchase.
2. Increased Section 179 Deduction Cap ($2.5 Million)
Section 179 is another powerful tool for small and mid-sized businesses. This deduction allows you to write off up to $2.5 million in equipment purchases in 2025. If your business is planning multiple equipment purchases—trucks, trailers, loaders—this higher limit gives you more room to claim these benefits without hitting the cap.
Bonus tip: Section 179 can be used in combination with bonus depreciation, allowing you to stack your tax savings for maximum benefit.
3. 100% Depreciation for Certain Commercial Real Property
For businesses that own or invest in commercial property—like a storage yard, garage, or maintenance facility—the tax reforms also bring a 100% depreciation allowance for qualified commercial property improvements. While this doesn’t directly apply to trailers, it’s another way for construction and waste-hauling companies to free up cash and lower their taxable income in 2025.
Why Upgrade Your Roll-Off Trailer Now?
The construction and waste industries are all about uptime and efficiency. A reliable trailer doesn’t just make the operator’s life easier—it keeps your projects on schedule, reduces breakdowns, and saves you money in the long run. ACE trailers are designed with these exact needs in mind.

How to Take Advantage of These Deductions
To qualify for the 2025 tax benefits, your ACE trailer needs to be purchased and placed into service before December 31, 2025. Here’s a quick checklist:
- Talk to Your Accountant: Every business has unique tax situations. Your accountant can confirm how much of your purchase qualifies and how to maximize both Section 179 and bonus depreciation.
- Plan Your Equipment Needs: If you’re considering multiple purchases (e.g., trucks and trailers), now is the time to bundle them together for maximum deductions under the new $2.5M Section 179 limit.
- Order Early: With lead times and supply chain challenges, don’t wait until the end of the year to secure your trailer. Ordering early ensures it’s in service before the 2025 deadline.
