Forklift maintenance isn’t just important: It is required by OSHA, and with good reason. Forklift maintenance catches problems before they become major accidents at the job site, thereby protecting both your inventory and your workers.

If your warehouse is like many others, you are trying to fit more inventory into a static space. In the face of increasing warehouse rental rates, moving is not always feasible, while spending millions to build a new warehouse is also often unrealistic for cash-strapped businesses.

“Time is money,” as the old saying goes. With customers
ordering smaller quantities of items, and a greater variety of items, than ever
before, more than 50 percent of your warehouse’s operational costs, if you are
like the average warehouse, is spent on picking orders.
