TELEMETRY
When it comes to managing your fleet,
the more information you have the better.
A forklift fleet can be large and difficult to track. Especially with forklift operators often outnumbering managers. This makes tracking performance and safety a big challenge.
Using sensors and tracking devices on forklifts allows you to collect data on impacts and other performance which can be utilized to make better business decisions.

HOW TELEMATICS CAN HELP
Now, there’s an easy way to remove the mystery from your fleet’s productivity. Instead of relying on personal interactions to manage your fleet, you can use forklift fleet management software to track real-time statistics so you can address issues before they become a problem.
Know what your trucks are doing.Forklift telemetry provides real-time data on the usage of forklifts, including the number of hours they are operational, the duration of breaks and their efficiency during different tasks. By analyzing this data, you can identify underutilized or overutilized equipment and make informed decisions about fleet size optimization, resource allocation and scheduling to improve productivity. |
Improve operator performance and safety.Telemetry systems can monitor forklift operator behavior including speed, acceleration, braking and adherence to safety protocols. This helps detect areas where operators may require additional training documentation that can be invaluable in an OSHA audit. Your drivers will know you’re tracking their activities, which can motivate them to strive for better performance and team productivity. |
A picture is worth a thousand words.Imagine the value of having video footage of any critical impact within your operations. With Yale Vision’s impact camera, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that everything is captured on film when an accident occurs. This provides you with a clear, distinguishable picture of the events before and after the impact. |
Reduce downtime and understand your true costs.
Forklift telemetry can provide insights into the operational costs associated with engine hours, including fuel consumption, battery charge, maintenance expenses and repair costs. This information empowers you to schedule preventive maintenance tasks more effectively and detect potential issues before they lead to breakdowns. By analyzing this data over time, you can track and compare the costs of different forklift models, identify inefficiencies and make data-driven decisions when it comes to budgeting and equipment investments.
Gain insights into the performance and reliability of your forklift fleet.
This data can guide decisions about equipment upgrades and lets you make smart decisions on when to replace aging equipment. It can also provide an understanding of which models or features deliver the best results for future equipment purchases.
Telemetry data helps identify bottlenecks in your processes.
Continuous improvement is a proven strategy to increase efficiency and productivity. With telemetry data, you can pinpoint areas that require improvement, such as reconfiguring storage layouts, adjusting workflows or optimizing travel routes. This can lead to more streamlined operations.
DATA THAT TELEMATICS PROVIDES
By attaching sensors and GPS devices to each forklift, you can get data on:
- Alerts– Get notified of any issues within seconds of them happening. And, if you have the telemetry software on your phone, you can get alerts no matter where you are.
- Service summaries- Keep a record of repairs so you know the maintenance costs for each forklift.
- Individual forklift details- Check operator stats at the individual level to understand how your crew is performing and where the gaps are.
- Scheduled maintenance data- Skip the downtime that comes with malfunctions and always know which forklifts are available and which are not.
- Equipment summaries- Receive comprehensive summaries on the health of your equipment and performance metrics.
- Hourly costs and total cost of ownership- Being able to see hourly costs gives you a moment-by-moment view of your ROI.
Implementing forklift telemetry for your fleet can help you cut forklift fleet service costs and increase team productivity with less manpower. With our help, you can increase your fleet’s productivity, safety and make data-driven decisions that positively impact your bottom line.
