Traka’s fork truck management
solution is already installed on over
8000 trucks in the UK and is
designed to ensure that only
authorised drivers have access to
vehicles. A new version has been
introduced which, the company says,
makes it cost effective for even the
smallest fleets of fork trucks or other
mechanical handling equipment.

The small fleet system works
without the need for software or
Traka key cabinets, keeping it simple
and affordable. The supervisor has
complete control over which trucks
each driver may operate. Each driver
has an individual intelligent
electronic key – iFob. Updating this
to change access permissions takes
just seconds. The iFobs are hardwearing,
nickel-plated brass tubes;
each has a numbered security tag
attached to ensure immediate
identification if an iFob is mislaid.

Supervisors have a Service iFob,
which is used to ‘teach’ the drivers’
iFobs which trucks they may operate.

Each iFob can be taught to activate
from one to 50 trucks.
