Location Matters: How Geography Impacts the Cost of Your Equipment Strategy
Don’t Let Your Zip Code Blow Your Budget
Many plant managers underestimate how geography affects the total cost of ownership for forklifts and other warehouse equipment. From urban hubs to border towns, location plays a critical role.
How Geography Changes the Equation
- Freight Costs: Remote regions or cities far from ports often face significantly higher delivery fees.
- Service Availability: In areas with fewer certified technicians, response times and hourly rates rise.
- Local Regulations: Some municipalities require extra compliance or licensing, adding to the cost.
What to Watch For
- Border Cities: Can benefit from faster imports but require strong customs coordination.
- Industrial Hubs: Offer competitive supplier options, but demand often creates delays.
- Rural Facilities: May require larger equipment investments to make up for delivery lag or lack of service.
