Rent-To-purchase: An Acquisition Alternative
8 SeriesIf you are in need of change in your material handling fleet, buying a piece of equipment is not always the best decision.

Renting a lift is the most flexible, least risky way of trying something different.  Whether it is a new or used forklift, rental allows you to evaluate the fit for the application in a more comprehensive manner the typical demonstration.  Over a period of a few weeks or months, you can be exposed to a variety of situations that would not ordinarily present themselves during the typical 3-day trial.

The rent-to purchase plan is also not as expensive as some think.  Typically our dealership will allow most of the first month's rent to be applied towards the capital cost.  The plan can also be viewed much like the way a company uses a small force of temporary workers.  Should demand decrease for any reason, the rental can be returned and expenses reduced.

Work with your salesman to discover acquisition alternatives.

  2. They're a warehouse, stocked often to the brim with expensive parts, tools and technology that needs protection and housing. In inventory alone, some vans will carry over ten thousand dollars in parts, then you can start valuating the tools, meters and computers held there as well.
  3. At the job-site, along with our technician, they are the embodiment of the dealership. What is the impression they're going to give the customer?

Why The World Needs "Parts Guys"
Grumpy guyParts is parts right? Ordering them should be an easy job, something anyone that can read should be able to accomplish with just a little care. Fact is it just ain't easy, and our parts guys are playing with a loaded deck.

As forklifts or even equipment in general become more advance, more customized, looking up a part isn't just a matter of locating its image in the parts book any more. Often when you get to that page and look at its reference number you are given two or more options to choose from. OK, you say to yourself "which one is it for Pete's sake?"
