Figuring the Economic Break-even Point

The EBP of any lift truck can be pinpointed on a graph that measures accumulated cost per hour on one axis and hours of use on the other axis. Maintenance costs per hour create an upward curve while ownership costs per hour follow a downward curve on the graph. The EPB occurs when the accumulated maintenance cost curve and accumulated ownership cost curve intersect.
