Return on Investment:
There is a very rapid ROI with the Flexi. It can be said that you are not really buying a forklift when you invest in a Flexi. Instead, you are acquiring additional warehouse space at a lower cost than it can be acquired otherwise, by buying, building, renting or leasing more space. An additional benefit is that this additional space is available without an increase in real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance expenses that would accompany it’s acquisition by any other means. In some applications the Flexi can unload trailers at the dock and move the goods directly into the aisle. This eliminates the need for additional equipment and personnel at the dock, and allows you to rack the staging area (if you're currently using reach trucks) for more pallet positions.
With a Flexi, you're merely converting aisle space that you are already paying for, to additional storage positions. This is accomplished by narrowing your aisles from 10'+ as currently configured, to 6' or 7' that is needed to operate a Flexi. The required investment differential between a Flexi and a conventional forklift, or reach truck, pales in comparison to the cost of investing in additional warehouse space. Depending on your current warehouse layout, the Flexi will allow you to gain 25-50% more pallet positions compared to a conventional forklift, and 25-30% more pallet positions compared to a reach truck!
With proper operation and scheduled maintenance, the economic useful life of a Flexi is comfortably 15,000 hours. Depending on your current situation, your ROI could be as quick as just one year.
