SAFETY

Automotive manufacturing reported injury and illness rates of more than double the national average of the private sector.

How can you help increase safety and reduce incidents?

• Reduce the use of forks and forklift traffic at assembly line
• Deploy automated solutions and redirect workers to more value-added tasks
• Use telematics to track lift truck access and provide training updates

SUSTAINABILITY

Automotive manufacturers are early adopters of technology but meeting the ever-increasing demand for greener products still remains a challenge.

Want to improve the environmental performance of your operation?

• Maximize sustainability through alternative power sources in your lift trucks
• Source from suppliers who share your same sustainability goals
• Develop a recycling plan for by-products of your operation

LIMITED CAPITAL BUDGETS

Limited capital for new equipment can affect all aspects of your operation and your ability to meet the needs of your customers.

How can you better manage tight capital budgets?
