Companies often utilize outdated and antiquated systems to track the warehouse fleet. This may result in an improper fleet and equipment mix, frequent downtime, and, ultimately, a loss in productivity.

Take fleet visibility to the next level

Streamline your entire fleet by accessing forklift fleet data through an easy-to-use portal or in consultative quarterly business reviews.

  • Equipment utilization – analyze fleet size, age and costs, so replacements can be considered as needed
  • Identify and address locations with high maintenance spends and repairs
  • Monitor and provide insights to help reduce truck and product damage
  • First-time fix metrics – recognize trends and potential future failures or issues by tracking repair history to calculate average number of days to repair
  • Planned maintenance (PM) and avoidable damage spend – intervals between failures to match individual lift truck usage levels
