Management Reporting
TMH will work with you to develop a tailor made forklift reporting system and review schedule providing you with information that allows you to measure forklift equipment, operator and service provider performance as well as allowing both parties to identify opportunities for improvement in your business, such as:
• Utilisation
• Equipment downtime
• OH&S incidents and commentary
• Breakdown and response times
Benefits of Fully Maintained Forklift Hire
Long Term Rental:

* Frees up substantial capital that would have to otherwise be invested in an operator owned fleet, which can be better utilised to promote growth within your business.

* Provides the flexibility to upgrade or change equipment specification with your changing operational requirements.
* Means your valuable management time, and skills are freed up to concentrate on your core business.

Maintaining Existing Forklift Fleet
Fleet management is not purely about rental and leasing; it may be more viable for your company to own your material handling equipment for a number of reasons. The TMH branch Network can also provide a fleet maintenance management solution to let you focus on your core business.
TMH dealers are responsible for the servicing and management of current equipment monitoring the equipment’s utilisation, compliance and viability to reduce down time and costs plus provide measurable information of your fleet sustainability.
* Peace of mind - MHE Compliance and Standards Challenges
Now more than ever as a fleet operator there is a need for your fleet to be consistent and compliant with latest Australian Standard for industrial trucks (forklifts & towing tractors)
Is your current forklift fleet is compliant?
Did you know if some of your fleet is dated pre 1995, it may not comply with current requirements for AS2359.1-1995 as all counterbalance forklift trucks sold after this date are required to have a seatbelt fitted.
Is your forklift compliant with the relevant statutory regulations?
Has your LPG system been inspected and dated according to requirements?
Are all your forklifts fitted with the correct rating plates and are they legible?
Is the forklift relevant for attachment fitted and is it rated at the correct load centre?
Toyota forklifts are compliant with requirements of AS2359 part 1 to part 12 for industrial trucks.
BT lift trucks are compliant with requirements of EN1726-1 for all trucks other than order pickers. Order pickers are compliant with requirements of EN1726-2.
Raymond forklifts are compliant with requirements of ASME B56-1.
Risk assessments are available for all Toyota products.
