At Tri-Lift, we believe in a culture of safety first, safety every day. We are proud to celebrate and support National Forklift Safety Day, by the Industrial Truck Association the whole month of June.
Material handling equipment is considered by most customers to be a necessary evil. They do not add value (for your customers) but you cannot do without. That is why you must minimize the cost of operating and maintaining your forklifts.
You might be asking yourself how we can reduce these costs. There are many factors that can contribute to your true maintenance costs, some include salaries, labor, parts, and most importantly down-time! It’s difficult to reduce all costs areas at one time. Start with listing areas where you are spending your budget. Look section by section for alternative solutions to your current plan. One of these areas should focus on replacement parts. Did you know that 45% of maintenance costs are attributed to parts? Strategize you your parts program and reduce costs. This will help cut down on the biggest hidden maintenance costs, dreaded down-time.
