lease is a lease is a lease! it only will work if you follow the terms of the lease Toyta is the #1 rated forklift it has the lowest dollar cost per hour to run. so the maint #'S for the lease will be lower (less parts and service needed) the only way you can get hurt is on the OVERTIME HOURS. Your are giving X amount og hours to run the unit in a year they will charge you for the hours that you run over that.
If it is a Toyota the lease is from TFS ( toyota Finaincal services)
they are great to work with. But are strict on overtime hours.
if it a residual lease the residual may be more than you current provider and that will cost you more if you purchase at the end of your term. Also Toyota is Very good about multi truck dicounts and they hold the dealership to a minium G.P. % this keep the lease #'s Very low.
I have Toyota's with 15000. hour in a 2 shift operation and the dollar cost per hour is $1.45
good luck
