Power for Life
Having recognised the need of the industry to reduce its whole of life contract costs and remove the burden of battery fleet issues, Norco have developed a unique Power for Life offering for replacing ageing battery fleets and supporting MHE fleet replacement programmes.
Norco Power for Life is a wholly service-driven offering that delivers an all-inclusive battery topping, maintenance, repair, cell replacement and product replacement programme for a defined term and for payment of a fixed monthly fee.
With the Norco Power for Life offering, cost is linked to depreciation of the replacement asset during the period for which it is required, rather than the total replacement cost of the asset.
This service is available on both old and new batteries.
