Reducing costs safely
We all know that accidents do happen, but workplace damage and the cost of accidents to business operating materials handling equipment can be substantial.
It is however very easy to reduce the problems that cause unnecessary bills. Our guide to reducing costs safely provides useful checklists and safety tips to help you avoid them.
Forklift weighing systems – White Paper Report
Checking the weight of any load being carried by a forklift is essential. Over or under loading can have a number of implications from compromising operator safety and damaging the load, to excess wear and truck damage that can result in escalating service and maintenance costs. Briggs Equipment UK has produced a white paper report that looks at the weighing options open to you and identifies how crucial this equipment can be to maximising your fleet's utilisation. Travis Perkins also summarise their FLT weighing strategy and the benefits that have been gained by doing so.
We also provide a regular e-newsletter, which aim to provide you with a wealth of news and information on fork lift truck safety
