Forklift supplier Adapt-A-Lift (AAL) has clinched a deal to supply over 200 new Hyster forklifts under a hire agreement to leading agribusiness Landmark.
As part of the contract, AAL will have to sell 185 company-owned units; terminate 50 rental units at Landmark stores; implement a national fuel management solution; and centralise billing, reporting, compliance and training.
The deal follows a decision by Landmark earlier this year to evaluate its existing forklift fleet with regards to safety, environment, reliability, running costs, fuel consumption and compliance.
The assessment revealed an opportunity to improve forklift safety through innovation and technological improvements, reduce the overall cost of running the forklift fleet, and improve customer service standards by having a reliable forklift fleet.
AAL will provide a full-service fleet management package, using its Forktrack fleet management system on every unit. The system includes features such as:
- Weight gauge to assist with chain of responsibility requirements;
- Impact sensors to identify goods and racking damage;
- Driver identification to identify high risk drivers;
- Electronic pre-start check list to streamline compliance;
- Speed control to improve safety;
- Remote communication to pre-empt repairs and maintenance calls.  AAL will provide a full-service fleet management package, using its Forktrack fleet management system on every unit. |
