Should You Buy or Lease?
The question of whether to buy or lease equipment is not simple, but is important if your company regularly utilizes material handling equipment. Take the time to research your options. If you need guidance, feel free to contact Royal Forklift to help you determine the best solution.
When to Lease
Leases are a great option if you have a hard time affording or justifying the expense of pricey material handling equipment. Leasing is also good if you know that you will only need your equipment for a short period of time.
One benefit of leasing a forklift is that you have the ability to try different brands and different individual units so that you can find the equipment that suits your specific needs. This is not always the case if you buy a piece of machinery outright. Another benefit is that, since you will always have new equipment, you will know that your technology is never outdated or outmoded.
Some managers prefer to lease forklifts because it is cost effective when it comes to maintenance. In general, repair and maintenance costs are included in the price of the lease, so you don’t have to pay extra. It is also nice to not have to worry about selling a piece of equipment when you are through with it—you simply give it back and, if you like, you can get a new one with a new lease.
At Royal Forklift, we offer a wide variety of seasonal and short-term lease options, including many makes and models of lifts, loaders, and other machines. We make sure that you have what you need when you need it.
Most of our rentals are high-quality UniCarriers lifts and are between one and five years of age. This ensures that what you’re getting is both new and functional.
When to Buy
There are, however, reasons to buy rather than lease. If you know you are going to use your forklift heavily, then it may pay to buy the lift and not risk incurring expenses for using the machinery for superficial damage or too many hours. It may also pay to buy if you know that you will need the equipment for years to come,
If your business is large enough to have a fleet of equipment, owning your own forklifts will give you greater flexibility. You’ll save time (and money) when you don’t have to wait for a third party to deliver the lift trucks you need.
