Qualities to look for before purchasing a tail lift truck:
Size of your loads
It is essential to consider the size of your loads to ensure the tail lift truck you purchase has the capabilities you are expecting. The size of the cargo will also determine what tail lift platform you will need.
Internal Box Dimensions
Tail lift trucks are a long-term investment, make sure you look into what exactly your company is going to use this vehicle for to determine what size is going to be best for your company’s growth over the long term.
Efficiency
The weight of the truck is usually the biggest contributing factor to fuel efficiency. Light = more payload = less fuel.
Initial cost vs on going cost
It is important to consider the on going costs of the vehicle vs the initial cost. Buying the cheapest vehicle on the market today does not necessarily equate to saving money in the long term. Consider ongoing maintenance, fuel efficiency, operation costs, downtime, and depreciation. At Eastern Rentals we offer very competitive pricing, without compromising quality.
Appearance and Functionality
Appearance can have a huge effect on attracting business and retaining drivers.
