Hello all,

I am new here as well as to my new position at work. For a few years now I have been tracking our companies forklift expenses, and I would like to calculate the break even point on all of our machines to see where we stand finacially. I have all the information I need except the resale or scrap value of our trucks. I have combed through many sites looking for this information. Is there a particular site that would help me with regards to calculating the resale vales of our current forklifts?

I had seen on called the E guru or something along those lines, yet this site requires you to sign up and pay a hefty fee for your troubles. We are running all Toyota forklifts, most from around 2002 - 2005 and in the 6000 - 10 000 lbs capacity range, and all with well below 1500 hours a year being logged. They are also in good condition and have been maintained regularly.

Anyone have any advice aside from combing through all the classifieds? I am having trouble finding a logical starting point, although this site is looking promising. Again I am new to all of this and I would appreciate any and all advice with regards to fleet management, any sites or books you can recommend would be of great help.

Thank you for your time.
