Rental / Fleet Replacement

I am working on replacing (or trying to replace) a large number of units in our
short term rental fleet and need some
published guidelines to show the powers
that be.. Can anyone help?

With vast experience in forklift truck rental
market I would recommend that you match the trck to the hire application. If you are not tied to one make of forklift you can mix & match to achieve the most efficent & economical equipment for that particular application. How a Customer uses or misuses your forklift truck can dictate what truck to supply. Best of Luck

Do it right do it once
Seems you need to figure out what type of units you need and have specification sheets for those trucks from different manufacturers to HELP decide which truck is best for your application first. Weather its the same units you have now, or something better. Clearly you will also nees pricing for these units too, but I would urge you NOT to base everything on price.

Also most companies will ley you "demo" a unit to see if it works in your application.

ForkliftAction.com has a spec checker, perhaps that could help.

Otherwise you will need to contact local dealers to get help with replacement equipment specifications and prices. Also the sales reps will be able to help you analyze your enviroment and suggest equipment that will suit your needs.

Is that the type of info you were looking for?
Hope it helps
Doc.

The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
