Bunzl Utilizes iTRACK Lift Truck Maintenance Tracking System

Bunzl North America, with headquarters in St. Louis, realized quickly the benefits of tracking its lift truck maintenance activities to better manage its lift truck fleets.

The Raymond Corporation helps the company determine the true cost of ownership of its lift truck fleets at many of its North American facilities; assess when it’s appropriate to service, replace or reassign equipment; and evaluate maintenance trends.

With so many lift trucks in operation in the United States and Canada, and a goal to manage cost and productivity from a corporate level, Bunzl implemented iTRACK to help the company meet its goals for better management and understanding of its lift truck fleet.

Through the fleet optimization system, Earnhart and other Bunzl corporate personnel can access individual lift truck maintenance data through the Internet for analysis that can maximize lift truck productivity locally and enterprise-wide.

Earnhart and Castetter have found the ability to organize and review the data on all lift truck repairs, costs and work orders has made it easier to make management decisions.

The cost analysis helps managers determine whether all the trucks in a facility are being used efficiently or if a facility has the right number of trucks to meet throughput requirements.
