The majority of forklifts are owned and operated by businesses, and they are viewed as a work tool. Farmers will have an old forklift out in the shed that will help them lift things when needed through to multi-national companies that will have fleets of 500 forklifts.
But it’s the use of equipment, not the ownership that provides profit and the best return on your overall investment. Sometimes rental programs will provide the benefit your business needs, but avoids the time-consuming responsibilities of ownership and maintenance support. Most Forklift dealers will talk to you about the many cost-effective benefits that a fleet management program can provide.
We wanted to take a look at some things to consider when you are looking at rental
Capital gains – Your forklift dealer can purchase your existing fleet of forklifts and provide replacement units where required and rent back the remainder, as well as progressively upgrade your forklift fleet in the future.
Frees Up capital – Capital investment can be directed into profitable “core” business activities, rather than having it tied up in capital-intensive non-profit-making support systems.
Single monthly charge – It's fully tax deductible, the rental charge will normally include all regular service, breakdowns, traveling time, labor, and parts provided by a team of experienced mechanics and gas fitters.
Improved reliability and efficiency – This is achieved with a new modern fleet eliminating operating and downtime costs associated with aged equipment.
No “hidden costs” associated with ownership – Elimination of administration and management times and costs involved in organizing service and repairs, sourcing and holding parts, processing paperwork, lengthy machine downtime, obsolescence, and ultimate disposal of old or inefficient equipment.
Flexibility and future needs – Fully maintained rental forklifts assure the user will achieve peak efficiency of materials handling tasks at all times. Additional casual units can be provided to satisfy peak seasonal needs. Rental offers the user the “best years” of machine life. Owning equipment means capital is locked into forklift trucks which may become obsolete, inappropriate to changing needs, and may require replacement before they can be fully depreciated.
Support from your Dealer – look to partner with a solid provider, don’t be afraid to ask them for references.
