For a large number of logistics, manufacturing and retail enterprises operating in Bengaluru, many operators used to make purchase decisions of pallet trucks only based on initial procurement price, while ignoring the full lifecycle total cost of ownership that covers all expenditures from the day of purchase to the end of the equipment service life, which often leads to unexpected extra cost in long term operation. To make a reasonable budget for material handling equipment, operators should take multiple relevant factors into full consideration. The first part is the upfront input, which includes not only the purchase expense of the equipment itself, but also the necessary on-site debugging fee, local regulatory compliance registration fee for operation in indoor warehouses and urban distribution routes. The second core part is daily operation cost, including energy consumption expense, labor cost and daily management cost. In Bengaluru, the stable local power tariff makes electric pallet trucks show prominent advantage in low operation cost compared with fuel powered counterparts, and the labor saving design of electric pallet trucks also helps reduce the physical burden of operators, so enterprises do not need to pay extra high allowance for high intensity manual handling work. The third part is maintenance and after-sales related cost, including regular maintenance consumable cost, fault repair expense, and the loss caused by equipment downtime. Choosing products with local service support in Bengaluru can greatly cut the extra cost of long distance transportation of spare parts and long waiting time for maintenance. The fourth part is residual value, high quality pallet trucks can keep good performance after 3 to 5 years of normal use, and bring considerable income for operators when reselling to second hand markets.
