Planned Maintenance Program
|
Did you know that an hour on your forklift is equal to 40
miles on an automobile? You probably service your car every
5,000 to 8,000 miles, but what about your forklift? When you
purchase a piece of equipment, you should protect your
investment with a Planned Maintenance program (PM). A good
PM will allow you to operate your equipment at peak
performance. It pays for itself by reducing your unscheduled
downtime. In addition, it identifies potential equipment
problems before they become major, costly repairs. Miami
Industrial Trucks, Inc. offers PM service for: |
-
Forklifts
-
Aerial work platforms
-
Industrial sweepers and scrubbers
-
Industrial batteries and chargers
-
Dock loading equipment
-
Compactors and balers.

Give our award-winning service department a call today and
learn more about our comprehensive Planned Maintenance
program. |
Outsourcing Is Better Than Ownership
|
Leasing costs less than ownership, and we can prove it!
Don't tie up your capital in forklifts. Outsource your
forklift needs and focus on your core business. Today, large
and small leading-edge companies are turning to forklift
full-service leasing for many reasons.
Why lease? |
-
Conserves cash
-
Provides tax advantages
-
Increases uptime and equipment utilization
-
Establishes professional fleet management
-
Improves employee productivity and morale
-
Simplifies budgeting
-
Usually reduces fleet size.

To get a good look at leasing and its advantages, ask us to
perform a free fleet audit. We'll determine the proper
equipment you should be using and set the lease term so that
you will achieve maximum utilization. |

Keep On Rolling!

Staying on top of recommended forklift tire inspections and
replacements ensures safety, cuts costs and reduces
downtime. Think of your tires as the "shock absorbers" of
your forklift. Worn or damaged tires can result in decreased
traction, turning difficulty and reduced operator comfort.
Resulting operator fatigue can cut down on productivity,
while uneven wear or distressed tires can create difficult
handling and increase the likelihood of damaged loads. These
hidden costs make it more expensive to replace a tire at
failure than prior to the failure via a scheduled
replacement plan. There are several early detection clues
that indicate your forklift tires need immediate attention,
including: |
-
Chunking
-
Spinning on rims
-
Overheating
-
Cutting
-
Marring floors
-
Separation.
|

Let our company answer all of your questions on tire
replacement, tire types, designs and tread profiles best
suited for your application. Call one of our Product Support
Account Managers for a tire survey today, because driving on
worn tires can be a gamble. |

Cost Savings Idea |

Waste Reduction and Recycling Equipment Saves Money
Waste hauling companies are just that, haulers. They
make money every time they pull your waste container.
Oftentimes, a hauler will charge you the same rate for
each pickup. It doesn't matter if you have 100 pounds
of trash or 20,000 pounds. It is up to you to maximize
your waste loads. How? Compaction is the answer. The
right piece of compactor equipment can save you up to
70%. Most of our customers can save 40-50% in the
first year. Call Miami Industrial Trucks, Inc. today
and have one of our compactor/baler specialists
perform an on-site survey. By looking at your waste
bills and usage, and understanding local hauling
regulations, we can suggest the best method for you to
obtain the largest savings possible. |
