4-Step Fleet Study Process

We understand that every material handling equipment fleet is unique. That’s why our forklift fleet study process follows a proven, customized process designed to uncover inefficiencies in your operations and work together to correct those issues fast. Our goal is to optimize your fleet so it operates at full capacity while minimizing downtime and costs.

Our four-step forklift fleet study process identifies the best strategies to streamline your workflow, improve warehouse efficiency, and maximize the cost-effectiveness of your forklift fleet. By partnering with Wolter, you get a data-driven approach to fleet optimization that keeps your operations running lean, productive and profitable.

Step 1: Forklift Fleet Audit

Fleet specialists will utilize an on-site visit to collect information on your forklifts, material handling equipment, and the surrounding work environment. The forklift fleet audit consists of collecting information related to maintenance costs, input from operational personnel and maintenance staff, and reporting to present you with data and findings to move forward.

Step 2: Warehouse Analysis

While the material handling equipment utilized in your operations is crucial, so is your warehouse environment. Our fleet management team will look at your layout and how the equipment is operated on a daily basis. Our team will use this information to identify how equipment usage can be improved, travel times and where more can be utilized.

Step 3: Equipment Optimization

Within our forklift fleet optimization study, we identify the best ways to have your fleet operating lean, but at capacity for the highest cost-effectiveness possible.

Step 4: Cost Reduction

There are many costs related to material handling, beyond the initial cost of equipment. Consider obsolescence, overhauls, operator costs, downtime, rentals, servicing, supervision, cleaning, add-on and attachments, and more. In fact, 80-90% of your costs are hidden. Not knowing these costs or the data associated with your operations could be killing your bottom line.

By partnering with Wolter through our Fleet Management Program, we help you:

Identify hidden costs within your forklift fleet and material handling operations
Optimize lift truck utilization and uncover opportunities to streamline or downsize for greater warehouse efficiency
Proactively manage your fleet to reduce downtime, improve productivity, and achieve the lowest total cost of ownership for your material handling equipment
