Consider Your Projects
A great place to start is thinking about how much work you’ll need to accomplish in a day. You don't want to get a hot tack applicator with too low of an output potential and struggle to complete your projects on time. However, you also don't want to spend money to get extra output potential than you'll need.
You'll also want to consider your long-term needs as a quality model will last a long time, so take into account the future plans of your business. If you plan to expand your company, make sure you get a hot tack applicator that aligns well with your growth plans.
Operator Comfort
Operator comfort may sound like a luxury, but it is an essential factor in buying a tack applicator. An uncomfortable operator experience can result in decreased productivity, employee burnout, and even safety situations due to compromised focus. Think about what the experience on the machine will be like and invest in a comfortable model, such as one that offers amenities to keep the operator cool on the job and keeps the noise level down.
Additional Features
Hot tack applicators are available in several models with different features. Some upgrades are a great investment, while others may not be worthwhile. Consider your specific needs and budget when you look at potential features.
For instance, better fuel efficiency will help you save money. The longer you use the equipment, the more money you will save. A quieter engine will reduce noise around the machine and lead to a more comfortable and safer work area. You can always talk to a dealership about the various feature options available on the market and have them help you figure out which upgrades are worth considering.
