JLG-SkyTrak Machines Have Best Resale Value
The new JLG machines are equipped to lower the total cost of ownership, but did you know that JLG and SkyTrak machines have the best resale value compared to JCB, Genie, Gehl, and Manitou machines, putting more money back in your pocket?
The discovery was made during a recent study conducted by nxtMove on thousands of telehandlers over and 18 month period.
Here’s the breakdown:
• The study was conducted by marketing research firm nxtMOVE on 4,487 used Telehandler units that were sold or posted for resale in the past 18 months.
• Model years ranged from 1986 to 2016
• Although JLG-SkyTrak are discounted at a slighter higher rate (6%), their achieved prices for model years 1986 to 2016 are 22% higher than the rest of the market.
What this means is that they maintain the most value versus the rest of the market.
