Discussion:
% of major components in a forklift

In an attempt to prepare my market plan for the forklifts industry I have hard time understanding how much major componets represent from a total cost of a forklift.

I would like to build a table, in columns having classes, 1, 2, 4/5 and on the row % from total cost of major components: axles, transmissions, wheels, engines, mast, controls. (e.g. in class 4, an axle represent 15% of total cost of the forklift). this could be very helpful to understand from any suplier perspective.

Would very much appreciate if anybody can give some directions.

We are a major PT components supllier in the industry, looking to extend offering. Once we better understand where the money are (which components) we could better focus on developing a wider range of products.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
