What i now wonder who will be the Nokia, Blackberry, Motorola and who will be Apple, Samsung and HTC and will there ever be a Emirates, Etihad, DP World
here are a couple of quotes first from KION annual report
What makes changes into innovations?
Innovations are products, processes and business
models that inspire customers, who are only prepared
to spend money on genuine added value, which ultimately
is what makes innovation financially successful.
As well as improvements to products, which
are often minor, it can also include new products,
service optimisations
second from local press
Where we are today is where the mobile phone industry was ten years ago. Back then you had Nokia, Blackberry, Motorola and now theyre not here. Instead, you have Apple, Samsung and HTC. All new companies that have come in; and the same is going to happen in our industry of materials handling.
They said it could never happen, it was pie in the sky. Now, theyre thinking...you see Emirates, Etihad, DP World. These are global brands.
I was wants told its not the machine you pay the premium for its the back up service.
well easy m i can now see were you are coming from and in this instance i can agree not all forklifts are the same. But most are.
From what the manufactures tell us there are a couple of markets premium what you might call the big five or six companies and economy the rest , This is my point would a customer want to pay the premium price for a Linde in North America to help KION hit their target or will they go for a Crown or Hyster say at 2,500KG.
It also seems to be the markets European markets seem to go for a more advanced truck. North America seem to go for a less advanced truck to Europe and the BRIC and Middle East go for a basic truck.
The point i can see is the trucks are very equal in each market linde and Junghienrich are very simular each are hydrostatic and run VW engine. Most trucks over 10,000 kg run a volvo or cummins engine so why should the customer look to pay KION prices when he can have a simular truck at a lower price
Amen to that. I wish we could gold plate that saying "All forklifts are not equal".
Do you plan on moving that load more than once? How many loads per hour, per week, per year? What's the fuel consumption, tire wear, maintenance intervals. What's the lifecycle of the machine?
What's the cost to move a load from point A to point B?
All forklifts are not equal.
Nice to Know i made you laugh easy m but what i said is a fact any 2,500kg forklift will move 2,500kg from one point to a offer.
"...after all they will all move one pallet or material form one point to another."
I just had to laugh after reading your quote above. It kind of makes the rest of your post irrelevant.
