Forklift selection guide: total cost of ownership calculation method

When selecting a forklift, focusing only on initial purchase cost often leads to long-term hidden costs. The total cost of ownership (TCO) calculation is a reliable approach to make a rational choice. This guide outlines key steps for TCO calculation: collect initial costs including purchase and necessary modifications; evaluate operating costs such as energy consumption, regular maintenance, repair fees and operation labor; consider expected service life, residual value at the end of use, and potential downtime costs. For those prioritizing sustainability and efficiency, BYD Forklift offers electric models that reduce long-term energy costs.
