10-Points to Consider when Buying Material Handling Equipment

Survey says:

1. Buy a standard brand that has been time tested and from a company with an excellent reputation.
2. When comparing products, expect that the latest model with a higher price should have more and better features and benefits.
3. Prefer to buy on sale whenever possible.
4. They want to do business with companies that have a good reputation and are consistent with their services and high product quality.

Additional Concerns:

1. In order to make the decision as to value of the latest product model, function, features, and benefits should be reviewed and compared to earlier models.
2. In addition, care must be taken to choose a product that is not damaged. Repairing a damaged product will increase your purchase cost.
3. Want to buy a product that provides good value during its life cycle before having to be replaced.
4. Will spend too much for some features not needed when buying new.
5. The frequency of product use must be included in your decision.
6. How to plan for product replacement if purchasing new or used?
