All good things must come to an end, even your warehouse racking systems. While you may have found a setup and a product that has served you well for many years, you will still need to replace the shelving eventually.

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.

About 20 percent of all forklift accidents involve a forklift and a pedestrian colliding. This translates into about 19,000 people being hit by a forklift every year. Creating habits and policies that prevent these collisions, therefore, is an essential aspect of fleet management and warehouse solutions.
