Motive Power Services help you minimize downtime and maximize your motive power fleet performance.
Many companies rely heavily on the motive power fleets that move materials throughout their facilities. If that equipment fails, productivity, and the bottom line, suffer. Proper maintenance allows you to get the maximum life out of the batteries and chargers that keep your lift trucks moving. Motive Power Services provides reactive and proactive maintenance services to help maximize availability in operations and minimize downtime.
The Value of Motive Power Services
All equipment will require maintenance during its service life. There are a number of different maintenance strategies.
The most basic is reactive maintenance. Repairs are done as needed when a breakdown or failure occurs to get your forklifts moving again. This “break/fix” approach can cause longer downtime and minimize availability.
Preventive maintenance is typically regular and routine inspections that look for wear before issues appear. By inspecting equipment on a schedule, minor repairs can be made as needed, decreasing the likelihood of major breakdowns. These maintenance schedules may change based on the age of the equipment.
Predictive maintenance is an advanced, data-driven strategy. Data supplied by the equipment indicates when maintenance is needed. Data also is a means to anticipate when the failure of the machine may occur.
Energy performance management software, such as Stryten Energy inCOMMAND™, leverages real-time fleet data, so you know if your batteries and chargers are being maintained correctly, how they are configured and when they last reported up to the cloud. This in-depth visibility adds a level of assurance that the assets are properly maintained for maximum usage.
