What To Look For When Buying Heavy Duty Shelving

Posted: 24 Feb 2008 06:59 AM CST


Efficient storage in industry is an important success factor. The items being stored must be easily accessible, and kept clean, dry and safe. These requirements are almost completely fulfilled by using heavy duty shelving. Such shelving is popular in industrial applications, and is also being seen more and more in offices, public buildings and the home. When purchasing heavy duty shelving, look for high standards, a supplier with a record of good performance and customer reviews, attractive prices, and follow-up support. The best types of heavy duty shelving can be put together in minutes. One example is where a rubber mallet is used to ‘tap together’ the parts instead of having to use screwdrivers of spanners.When buying heavy duty shelving, get it from one of the bigger suppliers. Being large, such firms will be established for some time, and have various systems and procedures to help the customer. Such firms will have a website to showcase their full range of heavy duty shelving. Here, you will also see sizes, measurements and prices. The website will give you an idea of the right type of shelving for you. The heavy duty shelving offered by the company should also be in a catalogue. You will often need a tangible version to carry with you as you measure up the space available. This type of company will also have people to talk to. You can talk about your circumstances and the advisor will be able to specify the right product for you. Large firms will have a good leverage when it comes to purchasing. They purchase heavy duty shelving in large quantities, and so are able to command good prices, so you will get a better deal. For the same reason, they can offer bulk discounts for large orders.

The quality of the shelving is very important. People spending money on heavy duty shelving will want it to be long lasting. But there a number of other quality parameters which also need to be satisfied. If the heavy duty shelving has holes that have already been drilled, it is important that they are all of similar size. Otherwise you will need a range of sizes of bolts to put the shelving together or attach it to the wall. The holes must not have any sharp flanges produced by the drilling process. These would stop the bolts being able to go through. Also, the people assembling and using the shelving could get cut hands. These considerations apply to the other parts of the shelving system too. A high quality finish is desirable, and it is very important that everything is safe. Large firms will be working with suppliers who satisfy the best standards of quality. Another important quality aspect of metal shelving is its load bearing capability. A large, well-established shelving firm will have its heavy duty shelving independently tested to confirm that it does what it says it will do. This way, the customer has a level of confidence about the product.

Value over Premium

Introduction

When people hear this famous phase, buy low sell high, their reaction is an automatic “duh”, of course! Then they go ahead and do the direct opposite.

Im sure every investor has, at some point of time, been defeated by his own emotions. this article is an attempt to arm the investor with a weapon of logic, so that he may be able to explain the logic contained within those 4 famous words and more clearly apply it to his investing decisions.

Word of Caution

Never chase shares for the sake of striking riches, once your money is spent buying up shares, it is out of your control and anything can happen. yes you heard this a thousand times already, me too, but its still worth hearing it again and again as long as we are in the market.

Article
Value over Premium

to buy a share, we pay for its value, plus a premium determined by mr.market at that particular time

value = what the company is more or less, actually worth and premium = what the market thinks this company will be worth in the future and the extra cash the market is willing to pay for its shares.

During corrections like the American sub prime crisis, we see this premium or “willingness to pay” reduced very fast and share prices trade closer to their “value”. Sometimes even below their “value”. During bull runs like most of 2006 & 2007, we are more and more inclined to pay higher and higher premiums for the shares of the exact same company - sometimes within a day !

within a single day value - constant

premium - jumped 10%

Such is the waste of our money when we have to “pay the market premium” to own shares of companies we wish to invest in. We must always aim to pay as little premium as possible !. write that down some where. As little premium as possible. Value must also be carefully calculated and the foreseeable future taken into account

For example, the Value of a oil & gas company can be assumed to be steadily increasing as the oil & gas industry enjoys the huge increase and sustained demand for oil..which has also raised oil prices to its highest ever. The Premium of this same company however, changes according to whether theres news about it, whether the market is going up or down, whether its raining or not, whether there are buy calls or sell calls made by paid analyst for free….etc etc

Summary

Buy Low.

Value increasing, Low premium

Sell High.

Value declining, High premium

This is the extended meaning of buy low, sell high. Dare to invest when the Values are increasing and the Premium is still low. Do this successfully and wealth will be guaranteed. Mr.market can buy it back from you when the Premium is sky high.
