Advantages of MHE operational lease
Whether it’s lifting, moving or stacking, your business depends on reliable and affordable equipment to do their job. Historically it made sense for companies to own their equipment outright. But in today’s rapidly-changing marketplace, the material handling equipment (MHE) you needed 2 or 3 years ago, might not suit your business requirements today. Therefore it is not surprising that worldwide 80 percent of companies now lease some or all of their equipment. In addition to ensuring your business always has new equipment with the latest safety and technology, leasing gives you the flexibility to upgrade or downgrade at the end of your lease term based upon the changing needs of your business.
If your business has the following requirements operational lease of material handling equipment is the right choice:
- A desire to free up capital for other purchases
- A forklift fleet that is as easy to manage and maintain as possible
- Predictable monthly costs
- Access to the latest equipment when it becomes available
- Greater flexibility in your fleet arrangement
Also, leasing MHE can cost less than buying one outright. Here are a few reasons why:
- No cash upfront payments
- No CAPEX, use the money on inventory and grow your business rather spending it on an asset that will depreciate
- As business needs change, you aren’t saddled with equipment that may have the wrong capacity or no longer suits your facility
- Easy budgeting with a predictable unchanging monthly cost
- Maintenance, servicing and insurance is included at reduced rates with your META Operational Lease contract
- No cost for spare part inventory and dedicated technical team
- No struggle with selling used, outdated machinery.
