Lift Truck Issue: Data drives smarter operations

摘要

We're proud to offer Modern readers the 6th installment of our "Annual Lift Truck Issue," an edition where we fix the spotlight on what we call the backbone, the workhorse, the most fundamental piece of equipment in any materials handling operation. Back when we produced the first issue, it was clear the U.S. economy was just easing out of recession, and fleet managers, who had taken their lift truck operations for granted for far too long, were short on budget and literally running their equipment into the ground. We knew that practice had to stop and wanted to promote the benefits of a more enlightened approach to lift truck management.
