Two year subsidised lease deal
October 1st 2007

A 3.5t electric counterbalance truck has been launched by TCM. The FB35-7 is said to offer low operating costs and high levels of safety and comfort.

It has an advanced electronic AC control system and is powered by a 72V battery which offers 8.5h operation time per battery charge. The FB35-7 has three energy modes to allow users to extend operation times to up to 9h in economy mode.

Super mode offers 8h use at high speeds to 16 km/h. No laptops are required to access the trucks settings and maintenance access is simple and easy. AC brings low maintenance costs, good braking efficiencies and shorter stopping times with accelerator-off braking.

Inside the truck, drivers can change lift and travel speed settings through dashboard. According to the manufacturer, the truck has a lowest-in-class step height reducing driver fatigue by up to 10%. Two year subsidised lease deal Samuk Lift Trucks has launched a 2 year 'interest subsidised' lease purchase agreement for selected trucks across its range of 1 to 10t equipment.

Available to forklift truck dealers and hire specialists, the deal is designed to enable companies to upgrade their casual hire fleets for the minimum financial outlay, not only improving the image of their casual hire fleet, but subsequently encouraging the profitable sale of 2 to 3 year old trucks with minimal refurbishment costs.

"It's a win-win situation for companies operating a fleet of hire trucks, as bringing modern forklifts into service is an instant way to boost the image and reputation of the dealer," says Sir Neville Bowman- Shaw, chairman of Samuk Lift Trucks.

"New trucks require only basic servicing, so defleeting older more troublesome products frees up the time of service engineers for chargeable work on customer owned trucks, whilst increasing the service department's turnover and profit."
