Cut Total Cost of Ownership by Monitoring Operational Data

Plant operations are complicated, requiring a nearly limitless number of moving parts to work together seamlessly. Especially in large fleets, fleet managers don’t have the ability to oversee operational details for individual trucks.

Even when functioning properly, inefficiency in a single component, process or piece of equipment can have a major impact on the overall uptime and output of the business. Furthermore, operator compliance with various health and safety regulations is critical for organizational success, avoidance of injuries and costly fines.

Today’s telematics and fleet management tools allow lift truck owners to accurately monitor and measure truck data to make operational decisions that improve maintenance, reduce energy cost and maximize operator productivity—all resulting in a lower total cost of ownership.

An active fleet of lift trucks represents a significant investment that must not be compromised by abuse, neglect or unauthorized operation. Furthermore, beyond simple reporting on vehicle usage and performance information, many fleet managers are increasingly responsible for delivering actionable data on workforce productivity, efficiency and regulatory compliance.

The pressures of balancing fleet efficiency and operator performance can be mitigated by having access to the right data. Understanding an organization's total cost of operation, including contract costs, maintenance, acquisition, labor, shift utilization and more, allows fleet managers to optimize fleet size and structure for maximum productivity. To effectively monitor and analyze these key data points and trends over time, lift truck fleets must be equipped with comprehensive telemetry systems.
