Foreign suggestions on forklift leasing

The prices of gas stations, supermarkets, small department stores, gardening centers and other industries are increasing. Except for the material handling industry, the price level of forklift trucks set by the material handling industry is lower than that of 10 years ago.

However, according to the authoritative person of the most famous independent organization in the foreign forklift industry, this situation will not continue to develop for a long time. The data obtained from some recent surveys were released: before the adjusted inflation statistics, the average weekly rental price of forklifts in 2018 decreased by 17.8% compared with 2008.

After deducting the price and other factors, in the actual operation process, the price is actually lower than half of the original price of the vehicle. This may be good news for the end users. However, I think that the users have put forward some suggestions and think that these reduced rental transactions are not realistic and sustainable. The forklift Association explained to the users that although the rental price of the vehicle shows a downward trend, On the other hand, the cost of vehicle operation keeps rising, including the salary of engineers providing service support and the fuel required by vehicles. In comparison, low rental prices do not necessarily mean that users spend less. The high-level said that the association was very concerned about this continuous large discount. Although this discount has great attraction to potential buyers, this abnormal low-price market may damage the safety and service standards of the industry development, which implies great risks. In the buyer's market, the customer is God. If forklift dealers consider reducing some prices to attract customers and maintain the stable development of their business, it is not surprising. Comparing the development of the forklift industry with that of the automobile industry, the researchers found that there are great differences between the two industries in terms of the standards and regulations of the equipment use level in the lease contract. In the forklift industry, it is generally stipulated that 40 hours a week is an operation shift. That is to say, the forklift needs to operate 2000 hours a year. In fact, the labor intensity and frequency of use are extremely high, Therefore, the loss of forklift parts is very serious, which also affects the operating cost of the supplier. This kind of use is an extreme one in the automotive industry, which usually leads to a fine, and the vehicle maintenance and maintenance services are carried out once every two to three months. In fact, The leasing or use of heavy cargo vehicles (HGV) is usually carried out on a monthly basis. The use frequency of 40 hours per week should be an extended working hour for the performance of the forklift, or belong to the double shift operation. Only when the situation is clear can the reasonable use of the forklift be guaranteed. In addition, it is important to ensure the provision of high-standard and high-level vehicle technical services. The association's senior officials said that, At present, this economic downturn has led some forklift users to reduce the cost of preventive maintenance of their forklift equipment, even by 50%. After the forklift has been used for a period of time, the parts need to be repaired in time; In addition to the high-intensity workload demand, the forklift needs regular maintenance and inspection. If the user significantly reduces the cost of maintenance, it is bound to bring certain risks to its customers, and even bring a lawsuit. According to the relevant provisions of, forklift users have the obligation to ensure that the forklift equipment receives regular and high-quality maintenance. Relevant institutions suggest that users should take at least the following maintenance measures for any forklift: stable daily or pre shift vehicle inspection system, regular preventive maintenance for vehicles according to the manufacturer's recommendations, So as to ensure that the performance of the vehicle is consistent with the use condition. Looking for the most suitable dealer based on the results of the investigation, it is the most economical and cheap to negotiate with the forklift user to sign a suitable contract. In this market situation that is not particularly stable, users should keep an alert of + 2 points to prevent unnecessary risks. Sometimes when signing a forklift leasing contract, users will feel that the transaction conditions are too favorable and appear unreal. In fact, if the rental price is significantly reduced, it may mean that there will be a large level gap in the service, so it will develop, The safety hazards of vehicle equipment and operating environment become another factor to be considered.
