Hey everyone,
I've been selling forklifts in a large market for over 4 years and I get so many requests from our customers to rent sweepers and scrubbers that I've thought it may be a good idea to start my own sweeper/scrubber business.
You could offer sweep/scrub contracts similar to forklift PMs where you come out every 30-60-90 days to clean the warehouse. You could either rent the machine or provide the machine with an operator to do the job.
Customers claim it's difficult finding a rental sweeper scrubber or a company that offers this. Does anyone have any idea why? I know the machines can be costly especially the riders vs giving a warehouse worker a broom but what other things would be worth thinking about? Any ideas?
Has anyone out there ever had any experience renting or selling sweeper and scrubbers? Positives and negatives? I know this isn't really forklift related but any thoughts would help.
