Here are 6 ways that Hyster Tracker can help you optimise your demanding day-to-day forklift operations and gain big benefits.
1. Real-time fleet visibility
The Hyster Tracker telematics solution is designed to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and identify under- and over-utilisation of your fleet by giving you real-time access to day-to-day activity.
The Hyster Tracker app is a handy tool for quick, informed decision-making on the go. This level of analysis is invaluable for quarterly business reviews. The Hyster Tracker app, also gives you fleet visibility and the necessary information for site analysis at your fingertips.
2. Reduce avoidable damage and downtime
Accurate impact detection, reporting, and real-time alerts, give you the insight you need to identify what might be causing high-cost repairs in your fleet. In particular, push notifications about critical events can help reduce incident response times and downtime.
With Hyster Tracker you can see where there are issues with particular trucks, tasks, or operators so that you can take action. This might be using different equipment for certain activities, addressing operator training issues, or changing and repairing elements of the site infrastructure where the GPS tracking has shown that impacts occur with higher frequency.
3. Support operational safety
Digitised pre-shift checklists remove any guesswork about whether checks have been carried out correctly. With Hyster Tracker, your operational safety is a priority. Whatever the issue, pre-shift safety checklist errors can be seen in real-time on the Hyster Tracker app, for fast decision making and intervention.
All of this is done completely digitally, removing the paper trail and associated admin, with the data stored in the Hyster Tracker portal to refer to whenever you need it.
4. Driver access controls
Integral to the pre-shift checklist is the driver access feature that monitors lift truck users, meaning only assigned operators have access to your vehicles during working hours.
Drivers must present a card to a reader by the steering wheel. The system can then confirm whether the driver has the right authorisation to operate the particular truck in your fleet.
5. Extend truck and battery life
Equipment diagnostics help you to monitor engine, transmission, hydraulic and electronic functions to help provide maximum uptime in your fleet. Hyster Tracker fleet management provides wireless monitoring of diagnostic trouble codes, as well as giving you the data you need to schedule and track preventative maintenance, to help reduce fleet downtime. Plus, you can investigate what is causing issues without always having to visit the site, saving you time.
With the Remote Hour Meter, you can also view and manage your equipment’s key performance data, getting the most from the fleet and keeping a handle on wear and tear.
6. Go ‘greener’ in your operations
Hyster Tracker telematics can help you realise the ideal mix of different types of trucks within your operation. This understanding can be key to reducing unnecessary emissions and assessing where there may be potential to switch to zero emissions electric forklifts. An Automatic Shutdown option can also be used to save energy when trucks are not in use, keeping costs and emissions down.
