Fleet Tracker® Fleet Management System

Fleet Tracker® is a cloud-based, IIoT-powered fleet management system for electric forklifts and their lead-acid batteries. This system drives operational savings through extended battery life, faster change-outs, right-sized fleets, and streamlined battery room processes.

Managers and battery room operators interact with Fleet Tracker through a Web Portal and an Operator Portal, respectively. Users access the Operator Portal through an included touchscreen tablet mounted directly on the battery extractor. Fleet Tracker also comes with a lightweight scanner and carriage-mounted holster. The system identifies charged batteries using a First In, First Out rotation. Quick barcode scans with the included lightweight scanner update the system with the location and condition of every battery, rack, and truck in the fleet.

Maintenance prompts ensure that batteries are watered, washed, and equalized on schedule, extending their working lives. The system guides the operator to a charged battery, speeding up battery changes, and a Stage-on-Extractor mode can even reduce change-outs to a single minute per truck.

Managers can log into the Fleet Tracker Web Portal from anywhere with an internet connection. There, they access a snapshot of fleet health with color-coded condition monitoring for all assets. Digging into the data allows managers to create detailed reports, helping to right-size the fleet with frontline usage statistics.

Fleet Tracker is ideal for any operation that uses Automatic Transfer Carriages, Mobile Battery Extractors, or Operator Aboard Battery Extractors, including BHS competitors, and supports multiple facilities and battery rooms within a single system.
