Remember,
your materials handling equipment requires maintenance. It’s got moving parts, just
like your car. Each part plays a role in safely operating your forklift or lift
truck on a daily basis. Consider this: a forklift rumbles down your aisles or
yard carrying 3 to 5 times as much weight as your car, and you have your car
serviced regularly. When machines breakdown due to neglect, it effects your
business, but more importantly, it becomes an unsafe piece of equipment and
could injure an employee causing much more than downtime, it could be the
precursor for a devastating accident and even a lawsuit.
Your
business and those responsible for keeping your business running efficiently
are your priorities. The equipment you use to assist employees in their efforts
need to be well maintained. Training is also a must, but maintaining the
equipment goes a long way in the prevention of injuries due to faulty
equipment. Forklifts should be inspected daily by the operator and serviced by
a licensed technician up to four times a year.
A Stärke
brand product is an excellent example of superior engineering, but even the
very best material handling equipment requires regular maintenance to ensure
the vehicle is operating at peak efficiency. This service is recommended by the
manufacturer of every brand of machinery and should be followed to safeguard
your employees and your business from unexpected downtime and accidents.
The cost of
an accident will far exceed the cost of a planned maintenance program. Stärke
dealers are capable of servicing every make and model of forklift and lift
truck, so if you have been on the fence about having a professional look at
your material handling equipment, find a Stärke dealer near you and inquire
about a planned maintenance program for your fleet of trucks.
