Is A Pallet Jack Purchase Truly Better, Than A Forklift?
When I have an opportunity (a green light from my better half let’s say) to go ahead and acquire something I almost every time will want to go all in and get something that in hind sight is clearly beyond responsible. The most recent infraction is buying a demolition jack hammer. Sure I could have rented it, but even that was costly I thought and when the job was complete I would be left “with nothing to show for it” when I returned the tool. So, of course I purchased one. I explained my logic to my family adding the caveat that my son’s would never have to spend that money. While I may not be limited to purchasing yellow bananas just yet, they’d get it sooner than later.
So, I thought let’s use my predilection by applying it so a hypothetical purchase of material handling equipment! If I needed something to move goods about in my business I’d be out shopping for a forklift truck (the perfect man cave Christmas gift by the way). Thankfully even here at home purchasing of major ticket items has to be approved by purchasing (my better half). In that process if it was determined that a forklift was overkill I’d have to go back and look at something more affordable, something more responsible. So, enter the pallet jack.
