Anthony Fedele, COO of Abel Womack, Inc. featured in Food Manufacturing, explains how to maximize uptime and minimize downtown with tips for lift truck maintenance

Planning and implementing a proper lift truck fleet service program is critical to optimizing the fleet’s uptime and productivity. To make the most of the program and the equipment, be sure to include a few maintenance components to ensure the long-term health of any lift truck fleet. While fleet size and specific customer requirements will dictate which maintenance components you implement, it’s crucial that programs include the basics. Larger fleets benefit from “beyond the basics” components that include a more analytical approach and often require more management resources.
