COUNTERBALANCE
Regret—it’s a sour, poignant feeling. You just watched the perfect selling opportunity walk out the door because your standard product line didn’t suit their material handling needs.

When standard doesn’t make sense, RICO has a solution for challenging material handling situations.

Custom Solution/Standard Parts
While some dealers might be worried that custom solutions mean custom repairs that slow down operations, RICO offers a wide range of options for aftermarket support. RICO uses standard, off-the-shelf parts within the design whenever possible, stocked in our 18,000 square-foot of inventory, such as motor controls and hydraulic pumps to support our entire product line of industrial lift trucks.
Win/Win Solutions
Profitability works in two ways. Yes, a custom solution is going to cost more than a standard machine for material handling. Yet when a client’s standard equipment is breaking down, when they cannot get a load through the door of their plant or find equipment to meet safety standards in special environments, they’re losing money every minute of every day. While each situation is unique, RICO has supplied solutions for customers that pay for themselves in less than a week’s time. And dealerships can make a well-deserved profit for supplying a custom solution that solves client headaches. When a unique problem walks through the door, don’t experience regret by turning it away.
