Konecranes Lift Trucks
One of the most interesting features on a Konecranes lift truck is their TRUCONNECT® technology. It helps fleet managers improve productivity significantly and make informed decisions based on facts.
Truconnect provides customers with real-time hour meter reading and email notifications to ensure timely scheduled maintenance. It helps avoid costly over-servicing of the lift and, on the flip side, under-servicing which can lead to costly repairs and downtime.
Truconnect also helps fleet managers improve efficiency and accountability by reporting on:
- Fuel consumption peaks and averages
- When lift trucks are idling, off-duty or taking unnecessarily long routes
Konecranes Forklifts for the Produce Industry
We began selling Konecranes in Salinas a few years back to support the produce industry with a reliable and high-quality forklift. Customers wanted a lift truck to retrieve produce from the field trucks, load it into the cooling tubes, and get the cooled produce into the facility for production. All of which occurs under the harsh condition of a 24/7 operation. The Konecranes forklift has not only exceeded our expectations as a company but it has continued to exceed our customers’ expectations, providing them with a reliable forklift they can count on for their operation.
