South Florida’s explosive growth in recent decades has been noticeable from the huge gains in overall population throughout communities in the area, but local businesses are growing and expanding as well. In fact, many smaller businesses are growing so quickly, they now demand enough equipment to serve a fleet of technicians and movers, all with their own vehicles and all with a large list of moving jobs, industrial clients, and lengthy appointments. With this type of business, and room for plenty of additional growth in the future, it’s no surprise that so many companies are looking to outfit their fleet with hand trucks and other equipment, often in bulk.
The growth in South Florida’s population and the dramatic increase in the size of its business community mean that fleet customers have no shortage of equipment suppliers to choose from. The important thing to remember, however, is that not all of these suppliers are created equal. Douglas Equipment, which has been serving South Florida for decades with heavy-duty industrial equipment, bulk purchasing, and a wide range of casters, represents the best opportunity for local buyers to find the right equipment, expertise, and affordable price range.
We understand that prospective buyers are looking for specific evidence that our business will outperform any local competitor here in South Florida. For this reason, we offer a few key arguments in favor of choosing Douglas Equipment over newer, less experienced competitors for fleet purchases and bulk supplies.
1. Industry Experience Really Does Make a Difference
One of the things that we notice most often is that many of our customers are completely new to the industry. They require a bit of advice and guidance when deciding which types of equipment they need, how many they need to order, and whether they need it right away or it’s simply a long-term need that can be filled later. This is something that newer companies generally can’t help with, since they don’t bring years of experience to their clients’ side during the shopping process.
Unlike those companies, we’ve been serving South Florida for more than a half-century. We first opened our doors in 1955, when South Florida was still developing into the major business and tourist attraction it is today. In the span of six decades, we have learned exactly what our customers require for every type of business.
Whether it’s moving equipment for a fleet of professional movers, or industrial equipment for a commercial company on the go, we can offer the right insight and industry experience to recommend the right products and materials to each customer.
2. We Appreciate the Sheer Diversity of Available Hand Truck Options
Over the past several years, we’ve noticed that many of our competitors don’t seem to have the same kind of selection we do when it comes to hand trucks. This can be problematic in many cases, since the typical consumer-grade hand truck is often insufficient for moving heavier equipment or managing commercial moving processes.
We’ve had far more experience in this area, so we’ve worked hard to have at least one hand truck model available for every unique customer that comes our way. We have convertible models, which can be used either as upright hand trucks or makeshift U-boats. We offer hand trucks with larger and smaller platforms, heavier and lighter materials, and with all kinds of different wheels, based on where they’ll be used most often.
When a fleet of movers or other professionals needs to ensure their hand trucks will get the job done without damaging equipment, causing injuries, or requiring inefficient staffing, we have what it takes to help. Our competitors, conversely, typically lack the product selection to make it happen.
3. Plenty of Inventory On Hand at All Times
One of the biggest problems affecting moving companies, commercial businesses, and industrial facilities in the market for equipment like hand trucks or platform carts is that they can’t find a local supplier that has the proper product in stock. That’s where Douglas Equipment is actually pretty different; we understand the joys of instant gratification, and we’ve long understood that local businesses need to fulfill equipment orders at a moment’s notice.
For this reason, we’ve focused on maximizing our inventory of hand trucks and other supplies so we can quickly meet the needs of local business owners, even with minimal notice. Many competing companies don’t offer the same level of service, forcing their customers to wait for supplies on backorder or pay for expedited shipping, costs that can sometimes bust the budget of smaller, more conservative businesses.
4. Service that Goes Above and Beyond Hand Trucks
While we pride ourselves in offering the area’s largest selection of hand trucks, we’re also far more than just a hand truck supplier. In fact, we’ve spent our nearly six decades in the business cultivating a reputation for having platform trucks, material handling equipment, moving supplies, casters, and other equipment, readily available for local commercial buyers that need to satisfy a particularly unique requirement for their business.
In this way, we’re essentially a one-stop-shop for South Florida commercial business owners, giving them a way to enjoy the same friendly service no matter what their needs are. Whether it’s hand trucks, platform carts, moving supplies, or something else, we’re happy to offer the “full package” of moving supplies or material handling options for today’s businesses. Best of all, we bring the same history of industry experience to these purchases that we bring to every hand truck order in South Florida.
5. We’re Trusted by Several Countries as a Major Exporter
For those customers who aren’t sold on Douglas Equipment as a major source of industrial equipment, consider the following: We’re the single biggest exporter of casters and industrial equipment in the southeastern part of the country. In addition to serving a vast number of Florida businesses, we’re responsible for making it easier to engage in industrial work throughout Central and South America.
Far from bragging, we offer this piece of information as proof that our inventory and 50+ years of expertise pay dividends for our customers. Our commitment to providing the right hand trucks and customer advice is as global as it is personal.
6. Our Prices Make Hand Trucks Highly Affordable
Douglas Equipment is focused on three central areas: Quality, value, and affordability. The quality of our products is second to none, largely because we stock the biggest commercial and industrial brands from across the industry. With a commitment to excellent customer service and some of the best inventory numbers of any equipment business in South Florida, our value is pretty obvious to those customers looking to supply a fleet of professionals with hand trucks and related equipment.
