Fleet Management System: OptaFleet

Compatible with all makes of forklift truck, whether electric or internal combustion, OptaFleet makes controlling your fleet easier and more precise than ever. 

An electronic key identifies the driver and authorises the forklift to be started up, after the fleet manager has assigned driving authorisations to each forklift. 

An optional screen displays a pre-start-up checklist defined in advance. 

Without having to install any software or specific infrastructure (wi-fi or other terminals), a simple Internet platform provides real-time access to a full range of information, including real time hour-meters (3 possible), measurement of equipment utilisation rates, management of maintenance periods and driving authorization, hourly commitment of the fleet, and some more. 

Finally, with its optional shock sensor, alerts can be sent indicating the direction and intensity of the shock suffered by the machine.

 

Speed Limiter: OptaSpeed

Fully adjustable, it allows you to select and control the maximum forward speed of the trucks, while maintaining engine power for traction and lifting. This increases safety during the work phase and reduces fuel consumption.

The Safety Radar system is another solution that lets you automatically limit the speed of your vehicles as soon as they enter in buildings.

Fast driving speed outside, low speed inside.

The IMPCO Idle Limiter (IIL) automatically shuts down the engine of materials handling equipment after a predetermined period of excessive idling. 

This will protect against excessive wear and tear and reduce engine hours, pollution, fuel consumption and therefore rental costs.
