The pressures of balancing lift truck fleet efficiency, operator performance, and health and safety compliance can be mitigated by having access to the right data. Lift truck fleets equipped with comprehensive telematics systems can help effectively monitor and analyse key data. So, if your tough handling application has a focus on safety, gaining an understanding of lift truck telematics could be key.

What is Telematics?
Telematics, also called telemetry, is the process of remotely capturing specific measurements and other meaningful data in its given application. In addition to tracking, recording and reporting data, a telematics system allows managers to remotely command or otherwise exert real-time control over the equipped machinery.
Forklift telematics, such as Hyster Tracker, uses wireless technology to collect and transmit data from forklifts to a central management system. This data can be used to monitor and manage forklifts, and can help support safety, efficiency, and productivity.

Telematics gives a full operational view
Operator compliance with various health and safety regulations helps avoid incidents, injuries and costly fines. Understanding the company’s safety and compliance, and total cost of operation, allows fleet managers to improve site safety and operator compliance, and optimise fleet size and structure for maximum productivity. That’s where telematics can help.

Improve site safety and operation compliance
Telematics, like the Hyster Tracker wireless asset management system, can help to protect people and assets in a lift truck operation by preventing unauthorised use of trucks and adhering to pre-shift checklist compliance. Hyster Tracker encourages smooth truck operations and best practices which can provide valuable data to help managers better understand any operational issues. Some key features of Hyster Tracker include:
- Operator Access Control - Prevents unauthorised lift truck access by requiring operator authentication before vehicle is operable. This helps increase operator accountability to help improve driving behaviour which can reduce damage and repairs
- Impact Detection & Shutdown - Advanced collision detection and real-time alerts for fleet safety awareness and damage prevention. Impact shutdowns protect equipment from prematurely returning to operation following a critical impact.
- Pre-shift Checklists - Eliminates paper checklists and improves compliance with digital pre-shift checklists. Operators are all responsible to run through all required checks prior to truck start-up and operation. Pre-use forklift checks are required by law in most regions.
