As in any other, in the warehouse equipment market, there are four main ways of acquiring equipment for equipping a warehouse:
- Purchase of new equipment;
- Purchase of used equipment;
- Leasing;
- trade-in.
It should be noted right away that serious companies - suppliers of transportation and lifting equipment usually provide their customers with all four of these services. In addition, every seller who deserves your attention will certainly offer accompanying stacker repair , as well as warranty and post-warranty service for all equipment supplied by him.
Thus, when choosing a future partner for equipping a warehouse, one should start from the following points:
Product range
The wider the product line of the supplier, the more experience he has in the market. This is an indisputable fact. Even with large start-up investments, a young company rarely manages to quickly form an extensive range of proposals. Extensive experience, in turn, testifies to the reliability of the seller - his ability to meet obligations to manufacturers and customers.
Purchase options
If there are never any problems with proposals for the supply of new equipment, then not all companies provide services for lending equipment, renting it with the right to later purchase or exchange outdated models for new ones. Meanwhile, young logistics companies are not always able to equip their warehouses with new equipment. Therefore, the possibility of buying on credit, leasing and exchange is very important for them. Accordingly, a large salesperson must provide several options for the most cost-effective service to its customers.
Related Services
Maintenance and repair stackers , carts and reach trucks - this is the minimum that every supplier of warehouse equipment must guarantee to its customers. In this case, important factors in favor of the seller are:
- the number of employees in the repair team and the efficiency of its visit to the client;
- availability of our own warehouse of spare parts and consumables for servicing equipment;
- "transparency" in the formation of prices for equipment repairs, availability of a detailed price list.
An important plus for the supplier is also the competence of the company's personnel responsible for the provision of consulting services. Fast and competent response to questions and wishes of clients is evidence of respectful attitude to them and high professionalism.
