Calculator compares forklift cost
RICHMOND, VA, United States
Jungheinrich Lift Truck Corp is helping forklift buyers compare the advantages of an AC electric forklift with an internal combustion engine forklift by offering a free web-based tool.
By keying in the required information into the web-based "calculator", forklift buyers can view a cost comparison between the forklift technologies and the overall savings that can be realised.
The tool calculates total cost of ownership of various forklifts over a five-year period. It considers average recent costs for maintenance and batteries and current standard costs for electricity and fuel, by state.
To use the calculator go to: www.lift-truck-cost-tool.com.
