What does a PowerMate COST?

What is the RETURN on a PowerMate:

Independent Research and PowerMate Customers validate the typical payback period in labor and time savings alone is 2.2 months with PowerMate delivering a 10:1 Return on Investment (R.O.I) by the end of the first year. With proper care and following the recommended routine maintenance instructions a PowerMate® can last for years and years!

The life expectancy of a PowerMate does vary greatly depending on the frequency of use, the weight of the loads moved and like anything else, the care taken of the equipment.  An average life expectancy of 5-10 years is not uncommon. Today, some of the PowerMate stair climbers L P International Inc. sold the first year it opened its doors, over 35 years ago, are still being used!

The chart above only shows the typical labor savings and does not include: the cost of avoiding a single preventable injury (U.S. Dept. of Labor uses $29,000 in direct and indirect costs), the additional savings from eliminating damage to product, property, the need or costs to call for help, not requiring a tail gate lift for your vehicle and the potential to grow your business through more repeat and referral business etc.

Today, many PowerMate safety conscious customers consider PowerMate as a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). What price would you put on: Your back? Being able to enjoy the career path and quality of life you choose and Avoiding the potentially devastating negative financial impact preventable injuries can have on your business?
