Why We’ve Shifted to Chassis-Only Pricing: More Control, More Clarity, More Value

🕒 Updated November 2, 2025


At Premier Lift Equipment, we’ve always believed forklift ownership should be simple, transparent, and strategic.

For years, our quotes bundled everything — battery, charger, accessories — into one “all-in” price. It was clean. It was convenient.

But as the market evolved, so did our customers’ needs.

That’s why we’ve transitioned to a chassis-only pricing model, with batteries, chargers, and upgrades quoted separately.

This isn’t about cutting corners — it’s about giving you more control, more clarity, and more value.


🔍 What’s Changed

Old Model

  • One bundled price
  • Battery and charger included by default
  • Limited visibility into component value

New Model

  • Transparent chassis pricing
  • Battery and charger quoted separately
  • Upgrade options tailored to your workflow


🧠 Why This Matters

1. Not All Batteries Are Equal

Lead-acid, lithium-ion, cold-storage kits — each has its own specs, lifespans, and costs.

By separating the battery, we help you choose the right power source for your operation, not just the default.


2. Charger Compatibility Is Key

Fast chargers, opportunity chargers, matched kits — these affect performance, energy efficiency, and safety.

Quoting them separately ensures you get the right fit, not a one-size-fits-all bundle.


3. CSA/MOL Compliance Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

Some buyers need full certification, logbooks, and inspection tagging. Others don’t.

By modularizing compliance options, you choose what matters most — without paying for extras you don’t need.

4. Trade-In and Reuse Options

Already have a compatible battery or charger? You shouldn’t have to pay twice.

Our new structure allows reuse or trade-in credit toward upgrades — keeping costs lower and sustainability higher.
