Industry Challenges

Addressing the industry's challenges, ProLift provides equipment solutions designed to support and advance your short- and long-term business objectives.

Safety

  • Poorly maintained forklifts and equipment, such as brakes, hydraulics, or lights, can result in operational hazards and equipment failures.
  • Long shifts and repetitive tasks can lead to operator fatigue, increasing the risk of accidents or injuries.

Total Cost

  • Routine maintenance, repairs, and replacing worn-out parts add to operational costs, especially for older equipment.
  • Equipment downtime due to maintenance delays or breakdowns can disrupt workflows and cause productivity losses.
  • Driver shortages and rising wages add pressure to keep costs manageable while retaining talent.

Economic Life

  • Continuous operation in demanding conditions, like heavy loads or rough surfaces, can shorten the lifespan of forklifts and other equipment.
  • Investing in new forklifts or equipment is capital-intensive, making it challenging to balance upgrades with budgets.

Productivity

  • Unexpected breakdowns or delays in servicing equipment can reduce productivity and disrupt schedules.
  • Lack of automation in forklift tracking, scheduling, and load management can slow down operations.
  • Insufficient equipment availability or inefficient fleet utilization can create delays in material movement.

Services

  • Lack of reliable in-house technicians or spare parts availability can delay repairs and increase downtime.
  • Working with inconsistent service providers for equipment repairs or maintenance can result in poor quality work and recurring issues.
  • Insufficient operator training on equipment care, safety, and best practices can lead to mishandling, damage, and avoidable maintenance needs.
