How to Measure the True Cost of Forklift Ownership in Mexico
It’s More Than Just the Purchase Price
When budgeting for forklifts in Mexico, the upfront cost is only part of the story. Maintenance, energy, battery replacement, and service delays all impact your bottom line.
Key Factors in Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Energy Type: Lithium forklifts save on charging time and consumption compared to lead-acid or diesel models.
- Maintenance Frequency: Regular upkeep reduces long-term costs, but neglected service inflates expenses fast.
- Downtime Risk: In some regions, lack of parts or service technicians leads to costly idle time.
Common Costs Often Missed
- Battery Replacement: Lead-acid units need new batteries every 2–3 years; lithium lasts 5–8.
- Charging Infrastructure: A proper setup prevents slow charge times and productivity loss.
- Operator Training: Misuse increases repairs. A one-time training can reduce yearly costs by 10–20%.
