Reduce Forklift Costs & Go Greener

Forklift truck drivers often leave their vehicle’s engine running when they dismount to carry out quick tasks, talk to a colleague, or are simply left waiting for a period of time.  Doesn’t this seem unnecessary?  Most lift truck rental contracts are based on operational hours which clock up while the engine is running and therefore, engines left idling add to unnecessary rental costs, fuel costs and subsequent emissions, and increased wear which can result in downtime.

Quite simply, by cutting the power to trucks left idling for a given time period, a company can reduce cost and help reduce engine emissions. By fitting a Power Savure™, an engine shutdown system specifically designed for diesel and LPG forklift trucks, the engine will automatically cut out after 1, 2, 4 or 8 minutes after the operator has dismounted, adjustable according to the truck’s application.

The Power Savure™ is a small device developed by Leicester (UK) based Transmon Engineering and can be fitted in just a few hours helping to reduce the truck’s recorded hours to when it is actually used in operation.  For companies looking to do their bit for the environment, it also helps to eliminate unnecessary emissions from fuel that is increasing in cost by the day.
