Affordable for small fleets
March 1st 2010 Traka's new fork truck management
system is designed for small fleets
and works without the need for
software or Traka key cabinets,
keeping it easy and affordable.
Most fork trucks are delivered with
a conventional key, often keyed alike to
the next truck. Keys are required to
ensure that trucks can be disabled
when not in use, but very often the
keys are left permanently in the
ignition, allowing any person the
opportunity to drive the vehicle. Even
if keypads are fitted, there is a risk that
a common PIN number can be used
or that drivers learn another operator's
PIN number, compromising Health &
Safety compliance or even security.
Traka's solution relies upon intelligent
electronic keys – iFobs – that can't be
copied and which carry a user's unique
profile. These iFobs operate in
conjunction with a variation of the
Traka Immobilisor, as used in all other
Traka fork truck management systems.
"The small fleet system enables
smaller businesses to benefit from
key management previously only
available to big organisations," says
Godfrey Anderson, Traka's MHE
sales manager. "The issue of lost keys
is removed and it's also easier to
meet health and safety obligations.
You'll probably find your damage
bills are significantly lower too
because drivers take more care when
they know they can be traced and
identified!" More articles from Traka Plc: |
