Q: Should I rent or buy a forklift & Crane?
A: These days in a competitive world it is vital to focus on your core business. The materials handling function and associated costs may seem clear on the surface, but invariably once examined, the picture often changes to an area that is profit draining.
There are a multitude of factors to consider such as:
- Purchase costs
- Financing
- Repair costs
- Downtime
- Rental of replacement forklifts
- Labour costs
- Transport to repair facilities
- Disposal of asset
- Replacement
- Economic viability
- Fixed asset register
- Accounting compliancy
Q: Should I buy a used forklift & Crane instead of a new forklift or Cranes?
A: A used ex-fleet forklift & Crane would make an excellent choice when a company uses a forklift & Crane infrequently, or if the forklift & Crane is not critical to production. However if a forklift & Crane is utilised more than 3 hours per day or is critical to production (i.e. if production stops if the forklift or Crane has a breakdown) then our full maintenance rental would be preferable.
