The cost of a forklift truck over its lifetime is greater than what you pay to the dealer. The cost of only the driver's salaries will be significantly higher. While the purchase price is an upfront cost, the compensation is paid over the course of owning the truck.<br><br>A few of the costs are plain to see. Calculations of the lifespan costs of forklifts may not always take into account other factors, particularly those pertaining to the driver. When determining which lift truck is actually the most cost-effective, you should consider the following important factors.

KEY LIFT TRUCK COST FACTORS ENERGY EFFICIENCY A more energy-efficient forklift truck will use less fuel or electricity to do the same amount of work. That efficiency can be used to drive down fuel and power bills. In electric forklift trucks, it also enables you to do more work per battery charge – so reducing downtime

DURABILITY Whenever something needs to be repaired or replaced due to damage or wear, there are part and labor costs. Robust and durable construction of components and systems reduces the number of maintenance bay visits.
UPTIME Ideally, a lift truck should be kept in constant productive action. Truck downtime for servicing and repairs can reduce your materials handling operation’s productivity and profits. The same is true for electric forklift battery changing, or onboard charging, if the truck would otherwise be working. High energy efficiency can extend runtime, so less recharging and fewer – if any – battery changes are needed.
DRIVER-RELATED COSTS Anything about the lift truck that makes your driver less productive should really be seen as a cost. We have discussed this in a previous article on how to speed up materials handling. The key truck design factors which maximize productivity are maneuverability, ergonomics, vision and precision, smooth control, safety and protection.
