Fleet Management

When purchasing a new or used forklift, the goal is always to extend the life of the machine without incurring costly repairs. In order to do that, frequent inspections are necessary to ensure everything is working properly.

How does your organization decide when to replace the trucks in your fleet? Figuring out how to get the biggest return on your investment is an important task. After all, you don’t want to replace your vehicle too early if a simple repair can give it a few more years of life.

Do some of your vehicles need to be retired? Are you overusing some pieces of equipment and not using others enough? Which vehicles are costing you an arm and a leg in repair costs each year?

Imagine a perfect world: your warehouse operations would run smoothly every day, no vehicles would need any repairs, and all deliveries would be made on time — every time.

When you’re looking after warehouse operations, your day is a busy one. Schedules are tight and carefully orchestrated, and there is little room for leeway.
