FACING STRICT REGULATIONS AND SHRINKING MARGINS
With supply chain challenges across the globe, congestion at ports is at an all-time high. You need to think outside the box.
- How do you find equipment that can stack containers even higher to maximize your current capacity?
- What are the ways to integrate electric material handling equipment without sacrificing power?
- Where do you fins forklifts and cranes that are built to run three shifts, loading and unloading containers all day long?
You need heavy-duty equipment that can get the job done without sacrificing productivity.
POrt CHALLENGES & SOLUTIONS
OPERATOR PRODUCTIVITY
Operators and equipment must perform with greater speed and precision to keep pace with demands. Meanwhile physically demanding and unappealing work creates greater labor challenges.
How can you move more, faster?
- Maintain your fleet to keep your operators moving
- Use integrated telematics to help manage equipment access and training updates
- Utilize equipment designed for operator comfort and maximum visibility
- Visual and audible solutions are available to help meet the needs of your particular application
- Use telematics to track lift truck access and provide training update
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
More stringent local and global regulations require reductions in emissions
How can you exceed the standards?
- Integrate electric materials handling equipment without sacrificing power
- Optimize your fleet while replacing aged equipment with EPA Tier 4 compliant trucks
- Utilize fleet management to help monitor and maintain optimal operating efficiency
- Reduce fuel consumption and simpler maintenance practices can decrease costs and increase uptime
CARGO CONGESTION
Mega container ships carrying more cargo are driving congestion and overcrowding.
How can you maximize your space and efficiency?
- Stack containers higher, go vertical to maximize capacity
- Increase throughput with efficient, adaptable lift trucks
- Utilize telemetry to analyze productivity
OSHA & OTHER REGULATIONS
As regulatory trends continue to evolve, you need to incorporate sustainable solutions into long-term plans.
- ensure only trained operators access trucks and reinforce safe behavior;
- provide impact monitoring, alerts and incident data to reduce product damage
- require completion of OSHA pre-shift checklist before each shift
- Embrace alternative power sources in your lift truck equipment to reduce emissions and help meet government regulations
TIGHT PROFIT MARGINS
Everything from raw materials to transportation costs are on the rise.
Every container yard must bring down the cost per box moved to stay competitive
How can you manage tightening margins?
- Use fleet management to monitor usage and ROI
- Prioritize serviceability and parts availability in your fleet
- Double pick to increase efficiency
