Savings made on repair costs
September 5th 2004

Davis Derby’s TruckLOG system has been specified for Britvic Soft Drinks’ fleet of 16 forklift trucks at its Leeds site. The fleet includes 11 FLTs, four pedestrian trucks and one pallet stacker

The system enables site management to assess easily the use and handling of the fleet and save substantial costs on service and repair. It monitors, measures and controls events in key areas and provides essential information for effective fleet management

TruckLOG focuses on: safety; use and down time; and damage and abuse

The company claims that it effectively reduces the costs associated with operating a truck fleet

The system is automated, delivering concise, easy-to-read reports

Mick Sharp, logistics training co-ordinator at the Leeds site, has reported a noticeable improvement in health and safety, in addition to reduced repair costs

He says “TruckLOG exposes dangerous and careless use, not only reporting the precise second that impact occurs, but also pinpointing who is responsible

Drivers have become more accountable for their actions. It has also reduced speed when approaching potholes in the yard.”
