Hoist Parts and Used Hoists Help Save Money

Feb. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- Owners of hoist and crane equipment know that proper crane and hoist maintenance is key to getting the most out of your overhead hoisting equipment. Hoist Experts and its partners have found that maintaining good relationships with many vendors and keeping a large inventory of frequently used parts helps customers keep their cranes up and running when the money isn’t there to buy new units.
   “We’re in business because of our customers”, says Paul Wilson, Director of E-Commerce at Hoist Experts. “Our goal is to help them be successful, and in a down economy, having a hoist parts inventory and heavy purchasing power helps our customers get the right hoist parts and crane components they need to maintain and extend the life of the overhead crane equipment.”
   According to Wilson, the key to success is a well balanced approach to sales. In the past few months, he has seen more interest in hoist parts and used hoists. “Helping a customer overcome a current crisis usually results in your name being first when it comes to a new hoist purchase in the future.”
   While hoist manufacturers obviously prefer to sell new units, having easily available replacement  hoist parts locks in brand loyalty. In the current economy, manufacturers are struggling to cut costs, and unfortunately, those cuts have affected the hoist manufacturers spare parts departments as well. “The bad news is, as hoist manufacturers consolidate, relocate, and cut costs there becomes less and less experience in manufacturer tech support,” says Wilson.
   Hoist parts can not only save help save money, they can eliminate waste. That is where used hoists come into play. Hoist Experts saw the opportunity, and has been very successful in buying and selling used crane equipment at a time when companies have smaller budgets.
