Er is een groeiende tendens, in het bijzonder in productie, vorkheftruck-vrij pakhuis en logistiek milieu's om te gaan (zie onze 11 & 13 posten van Juni). Een stijgend aantal ondernemingen verkiest om vorkheftrucks met veiligere, ergonomische materiële behandelingsproducten te vervangen die goedkoper zijn om te bezitten en te werken. Zoals wij nota namen van, vorkheftruck-vrij kan gaan in aanzienlijke besparingen in productie en onderhoudskosten terwijl beduidend het verminderen van arbeidersongevallen en verwondingen en hun bijbehorende medisch, verzekering, compensatie van de werkman en verloren man-hour uitgaven resulteren. De Producten van DJ kunnen uw bedrijfsovergang aan een veiliger vorkheftruck-vrij het werkmilieu helpen.
Bij De Producten van DJ wij vervaardigen een volledige lijn van elektrische kartrekkers en gemotoriseerde karopdringers en sleepboten. Onze producten worden ergonomisch ontworpen om de pijn en de spanning te elimineren van manueel het duwen van en het trekken van zware karren en materiaal op wielen. Kleiner en maneuverable dan traditioneel materiaal zoals vorkheftrucks, walkies en berijdende sleepboten, zult u ook onze producten om minder duur vinden te zijn om te kopen en te handhaven. Het uitvoeren van vorkheftruck-vrije oplossingen met het materiaal van de Producten van DJ biedt veelvoudige voordelen aan, die omvatten:
- Verminderde bedrijfskosten, in het bijzonder materiaalaankoop en onderhoudskosten,
- De verminderde vloerruimte moest materiaal manoeuvreren,
- Verminderde arbeidersverwondingen en begeleidende medisch, verzekering, de compensatie van de werkman en verloren man-hour kosten,
- Verminderde aansprakelijkheid,
- Verhoogde installatieveiligheid,
- Verhoogd arbeidersmoreel, en
- Verhoogde efficiency en productiviteit.
De Producten van DJ kunnen u helpen uw overgang aan een vorkheftruck-vrij milieu plannen. Wij specialiseren ons in het oplossen van ergonomische materiële behandelingstoepassingen met op batterijen, gang-achter sleepboot en tugger oplossingen. Veel van onze gemotoriseerde karproducten kunnen douane zijn die voor aanpassing aan bijna elke zware kar wordt gevormd die of toepassing duwt trekt.

Forklift trucks are expensive to maintain and are a significant source of worker injuries and even deaths each year. The high cost of using forklifts in manufacturing, warehousing and logistics environments is pushing an increasing number of businesses to go forklift-free (see our June 11 post). Going forklift-free can reduce inventory and equipment needs, improve material flow and customer response, increase cycle efficiency and overall productivity, and decrease operating costs. At the same time a forklift-free work environment significantly improves plant safety; decreases liability concerns; and markedly decreases worker injuries and associated medical, insurance, disability and lost man-hour costs.
Implementing a forklift-free program can be challenging and will require a coordinated effort by top-level management, all affected departments, and suppliers, say John Neuman and Larry Tyler in American Machinist. They emphasize that success will require the ability to maintain “a big picture overview of the project as well as an understanding of how each department and suppliers, both internal and external, will be impacted.”
A successful transition to a forklift-free environment begins with a clarification of plan targets and goals and the identification of waste, ergonomic and safety threats. Neuman and Tyler suggest beginning by asking how operations and your supply chain will be impacted by a forklift-free system. Typical project leaders include manufacturing and industrial engineers and material logistics personnel. Input should be gathered from safety teams, production managers, line operators, tug drivers, market supply teams, your purchasing department and suppliers. Good communication, efficient information coordination, and clear assignment of responsibilities are important to success at this stage of the project, warn Neuman and Tyler.
Performing a trial run that physically traces each step of operation from the supplier to the receiving dock through assembly and back to the shipping dock allows the implementation team to uncover any potential problems before initiation. Role playing allows each individual who will participate in the new process to experience and try out the actual movements they will need to undertake in a forklift-free production. The suggestions gained from a physical dry run can provide valuable insight into operational, personnel and supplier issues that must be addressed before full implementation of a forklift-free system.
Obviously, implementing a forklift-free environment in an existing plant presents a significantly greater challenge than in a new or remodeled facility where changes can be incorporated in the planning phase. Neuman and Tyler warn that “existing plant constraints may make the best forklift-free strategy less than optimal.” Aisle widths, conveyor heights, set backs, line space, ceiling height and floor quality are among the challenges that may need to be overcome. Incremental conversion beginning with one or two work cells or a common assembly area may allow for greater success in brownfield operations. Despite the added challenges, positive results can be achieved in brownfield operations though initial cost and implementation time may be somewhat greater.

An increasing number of companies, particularly in the manufacturing, warehousing and logistics industries, are moving toward a forklift-free environment. Safety concerns and maintenance costs are the primary factors driving this major change in material handling application.
According to a recent study by the Hyster Company, a major manufacturer of forklift trucks, only 6% of end-users know their real forklift maintenance costs and few have implemented programs to reduce those costs. Over the 20-year life of a forklift, 80% of the total costs are operating expenses. Ownership accounts for only 20% of a forklift’s total cost. The Hyster study estimates that American businesses waste more than $1 billion per year in unnecessary material handling operating costs.
Far more expensive are the human loss and liability costs directly tied to forklift injuries each year. Each year, nearly 100 U.S. workers are killed in forklift accidents and another 20,000 seriously injured. Forklift overturns cause 25% of forklift-related deaths. Medical expenses, insurance costs, workmen’s compensation and lost man-hours associated with forklift accidents cost American businesses millions of dollars each year.
According to John Neuman and Larry Tyler, writing in American Machinist, a forklift-free program can have multiple benefits, including:
- reduced inventory,
- improved material flow,
- reduced line-side handling equipment,
- reduced floor space,
- increased cycle efficiency,
- increased floor coordination,
- increased stocking efficiency, and
- decreased operating costs.
On the human side, a forklift-free environment improves investor, worker and public perception of a company’s attention to safety. It improves worker ergonomics, efficiency and production and decreases expensive lost man-hours, medical, insurance and liability costs.
Next time: Implementing a forklift-free program.
