Safeguarding Shipments Against Freight Fraud and Double-Brokering Risks
Seven Shipper Strategies to Shield Cargo and Payments from Freight Scams
TOP TRENDS INFLUENCING INDUSTRIAL FORKLIFT SELECTION
T ough industrial materials handling operations use forklifts to accomplish a variety of functions, each of which poses its own unique challenges. For a company to identify the right lift truck solutions to fulfill its particular needs, it is important to consider several key factors.
// INDUSTRIAL LABOR MARKETS ARE FEELING THE PINCH Materials handling operations are experiencing widespread labor shortages. The labor gap in U.S. manufacturing, for instance, is expected to grow to over two million unfilled jobs by 2030, according to a report by Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute. Difficulties in fully staffing a skilled workforce can mean skeleton crews or that new or inexperienced operators are filling many lift truck operator roles. This latter approach fills seats, but there is a learning curve. A greater reliance on novice operators can lead to more product and facility damage, and the negative effects on productivity and cost that come in tow. This reality makes it all the more imperative that the lift trucks a company selects are intuitive to use. Commonality of controls and features across different forklift models can also help ease the burden when operators are training for certification in equipment types that are new to them.
