When soft drinks manufacturer, GSK
found rough terrain at its
manufacturing plant had the
potential to damage its fleet of 21
forklifts and, more importantly, cause
injuries to personnel, the company
turned to Davis Derby to help
improve the situation.

After analysing traffic movements
and the client’s shock incident record,
Davis Derby supplied and fitted its
Fleet Management Information
System (FMIS), including the shock
indication module, to seven of the
trucks and a diesel pump. Drivers
were issued with SMART cards, which
allow access to and record logged-on
and operational time on the vehicles.

In addition to improved health and
safety across the plant, the business
also reports significant reductions in
shock levels being recorded, as
potholes and other hazards are now
being identified through the daily
shock reports.
