FORKLIFT POWER

Engineering Uptime via the Design, Integration and Management of Forklift Power Systems
We had several issues with battery power and uptime. Couldn’t keep our forklift fleet moving daily. Concentric was a resource to make that problem go away.

Forklift power management systems are essential for the industrial sector. Effective solutions can optimize your forklifts' productivity and performance, improve your bottom line and support your sustainability efforts. Concentric can help you improve forklift power management to benefit your operations. We'll work with you to find a solution for you and your team.

 

Why Do You Need Forklift Power Management?

Your power represents 50% of the total cost of ownership of your forklift fleet. How you manage that is the missing link to uncover hidden costs and efficiencies.

For most manufacturers and distributors, forklift power and maintenance are highly reactive. We've seen $4,000 in hidden costs per forklift — the equivalent of $45,000 to $125,000 in lost revenue. Every day that you aren't proactively managing your forklift power is a day you fall further behind. Implementing a proven asset optimization strategy is crucial to compete and win.

Concentric can assist you in improving your forklift power management and help your business overall. Implementing a forklift management system offers several advantages for your business, including:

  • Increased uptime = productivity: Getting the forklift power management system right means more forklifts running at any given time.  Power should never limit your operators ability to do work, yet it typically does.  Unlocking your team's productivity and ensuring power isn't a deterrent drives productivity KPIs.

  • Enhanced energy efficiency: Management systems reduce energy consumption and electricity cost, which saves on battery usage and improves energy efficiency.

  • Employee retention:  No one would work for a company where their computer crashed regularly.  Yet this is what many forklift operators experience with their forklifts due to power.  Fixing this and making power an afterthought changes retention and job enjoyment.

  • Improved decision-making: Having a power management system makes you more aware of forklift usage and efficiency. You can use this information to make informed decisions and operational adjustments to improve your productivity.

  • Decreased costs: Reducing energy consumption lowers your operating and energy costs.

  • Improved efficiency: More reliable batteries increase your productivity and efficiency.
