Can the Same Forklift Safety System be Installed on a New and Used Forklift?
It seems that 4-5 years comes around fast. Especially when it comes to buying new forklifts. It can take up to 18 months to get your forklift order in…and somehow you need to make your current fleet last. But how? Your forklifts have long, deep scratches and good size dents. If you could only match the dents with the other damage done in the facility and to other equipment. Anytime you ask what happened, or who did this… you get the universal answer, “I don’t know.” Could AI safety on new and used forklift simultaneously be the answer?
But wait! Your forklift dealer or forklift manufacturer inform you that your new forklifts come with digital inspection checklist. Perfect, just what you needed. Wait… what were you just told? The digital inspection checklist only comes on the new forklifts? Oh. I can’t buy anything to work on the existing forklifts? Oh. And the forklift safety system doesn’t have pedestrian detection? Well, that’s not good. Is there a solution that has AI safety on new AND used forklift simultaneously? Doesn’t that make better sense? Yes, it does.
What is AI Safety on New and Used Forklift Simultaneously?
AI safety on new and used forklift simultaneously is the most efficient and cost effective way to protect the equipment and facility from forklift accidents while maintaining forklift safety compliance with OSHA.
How Can I Get a Forklift Safety System that Works on Old and New Forklifts?
The best way to accomplish AI safety on new and used forklift simultaneously is with a hardware agnostic forklift safety system such as SIERA.AI. SIERA.AI’s S2 Digital Inspection with Impact Detection or the S3 Pedestrian Detection System work independently of the forklift, making it easy to implement and begin to protect the equipment, facility and workers around the forklift.
The digital inspection checklist that comes with the manufacturer’s forklift captures the basic information that you need to be OSHA compliant. And that is great, except:
- Does the system allow you to have unlimited checklists?
- Is it capturing information so you can easily identify where issues reside?
- Does it track near misses so those areas do not mature into high risk areas?
- Most importantly, is it working on your current fleet AND new fleet of forklifts?
Why Working on Old and New Matters
It seems like a ‘dream’ if you can get more use of the ‘old’ forklift fleet. Your company paid a lot of money for the forklift and to get at most…5 years seems crazy. But when you look at the condition of it, it makes sense. But what if by investing in the forklift safety system you can get an extra year… or maybe 5+ to the forklift?
What if you were able to:
- Add checklists that go beyond the forklift? Digital checklists such as for docks and trailers or overhead doors. What would that mean for proactive maintenance professionals?
- Know the condition and life of your existing forklifts and add only a few new forklifts to the fleet?
- Be proactive on maintenance to truly maximize the life expectancy?
- Reduce the amount of forklift accidents?
- Know who was on the forklift during the time of an impact?
- Override the driver to be sure the potential accident was avoided?
That’s what a SIERA.AI forklift safety system that can work on any manufacture, any brand forklift can do for you.
