Profit Power
Operating Orbital Action on your work sites may be a direct route to
higher profit margins. Given our difficult economic times and reduced
work activity levels we need to look at all possible avenues to gain a
few net dollars from our work to help keep bread on our tables.
So, where to start calculating, I suggest cost of owning is a good
place. A simple way to find out a monthly payment would be to look at
some of the leasing company web-sites listed under “financing” on our home page. Pick out
a leasing company and bring up their site. Now click on their monthly
payment calculator, fill in a few blanks and immediately know your
monthly payment amount. You can ask other companies listed and pick the
best one for needs.
I clicked on one site as I write this and find that a Model 58 @ suggested list price would have a
monthly payment of $1,577.51 for 36 months, with a $1.00 buy out at
lease end.
If you are confident that you will need the machine over a longer time
period, a 60 month lease payment would be $1,029.83, again with a $1.00
buy out at lease end.
I use these examples to show you an easy way to calculate an
approximate monthly cash out figure. Over the life of a high
performance machine it will not matter much if you pay with cash up
front, borrow money at your bank or sign a lease, your monthly cost of
having the Orbital Action Screening
Plant in your equipment fleet will be about what you find by using one
of these leasing company calculators. At the final decision time, you
use what works best for you.
Please take a look at Orbital Action on our video clips, it is amazing
how quick you could screen enough material to make a months payment. I
will write more about profits by Orbital Action Screening in future
issues of “The Finer Cut”
Brads Blog, “The Finer Cut”, is another of many
planned. Each issue will cover a topic of interest about our machines,
our industry, our customers and more. I look forward to this task and
am excited about the opportunity to broaden our communications with our
customers and industry. I invite you to return and visit from time to
time, cruising back through issues to see what I may have been thinking
of at another time.
I also invite you, our reader to contribute by offering your comments.

Happy screening
