TOTAL MATERIAL HANDLING FLEET OPTIMIZATION

June 6, 2019

NO ONE OPERATING A LIFT TRUCK or other material handling vehicle would operate the equipment with unnecessary obstructions blocking their view of the routes to take down aisles or when moving into a dock area. Visibility for safe navigation when it comes to the actual operation of material handling equipment is paramount. Yet when it comes to an enterprise’s understanding of the costs and asset lifecycle planning issues surrounding material handling fleets, there is often a lack of visibility into the full range of issues and costs involved. That lack of information is the main hinderance to optimal fleet operations, explains Allen Polk, vice president of sales for Kenco Material Handling Solutions
