Cradle to grave value
April 1st 2009 John Maguire, sales and
marketing director of
Narrow Aisle Flexi says
that in the current climate it
is particularly important
that companies considering
investing in forklift trucks
choose models with the
best value 'from cradle to
grave'. In other words,
trucks that are able to
command a good resale
value.
"When it comes to the
purchasing decision, a
truck's residual value should
be considered from the
outset – particularly if the
user is considering entering
a lease rental package with
its supplier," John Maguire
explains.
Such is the demand for
used Flexis – both from
users and within the 'trade'
– that the resale value of a
five year old Flexi truck in
the European market is
often over twice that of
alternatives (typically a used
and refurbished Flexi will be
sold for in the region of
65% of its price when new). More articles from Narrow Aisle Flexi: |
