Fleet Management
Fleet management, also known as fleet tracking, is an effective method of monitoring and managing every piece of equipment in your operation. By utilizing a fleet management system, you’ll always have the information you need to keep your operation running smoothly. Every unit is tracked to keep you informed of maintenance requirements, machine condition, and optimal turnover times.
This ensures optimal safety and value for every forklift, telehandler, boom lift, and other equipment in your fleet. When it comes to value, roughly 15-20% of the total operational cost of a forklift is tied to the initial purchase of the machine. This means that the remaining 80-85% is allocated to maintenance, lost productivity, planned maintenance, operator training, crisis management, damages/misuse, and fuel costs.
That’s why Leavitt Machinery provides comprehensive forklift fleet management programs through forklift management software. This allows us to assist your business in making educated, strategic, and economically responsible decisions regarding your mobile fleet.
Our fleet management experts work closely with our safety task force, service department, and industry-leading trainers to ensure that we present you with a holistic program that addresses all your needs. We are COR certified in British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan, meaning that our program adheres to the highest possible safety standards.

Our goal is to provide you with ease of ownership services that assist in making responsible long term decisions.

Increased Uptime
By providing total or preventative maintenance programs, we help to reduce equipment breakdowns and eliminate major component repairs.
Save Money

opting for a fixed monthly operating expense.
Increased Productivity
We offer additional equipment rental programs to help keep product moving during your busiest seasons. This ensures that you're not held up by unexpected downtime. When your machine is down for maintenance
or repairs, Leavitt Machinery can provide a loaner unit to keep your business running smoothly.
Save Time
By reducing the supervision and time spent managing your fleet, we allow you to spend more time on other areas of your business. Through our Fleet Track system, we provide you with comprehensive data management and accounting
services. It also enables you to sort and view all equipment at multiple locations with the click of a button, making fleet tracking easier than ever before.
Increased Safety
By replacing old, outdated units with the latest in material handling equipment, you’re increasing safety by reducing potential safety hazards. Newer equipment offers the benefits of state of the art ergonomics
and engineering design. We also help you to be more compliant with emissions standards by updating your equipment.
Key Concepts Review
Our team starts with a detailed, no-cost, and no-commitment presentation of the key cost-saving concepts that drive managing a mobile equipment fleet. This provides your team with an overview of our approach to
fleet management, where savings can be identified, and how they can be maximized.
Detailed Application & Cost Study
Next, we survey your operation. This includes a detailed analysis of your current fleet usage to identify any surplus or under-utilized equipment. We review the application each machine is used
in, the exact products and load sizes each machine is moving, and the conditions the machine is being used in. We then review past maintenance invoices looking for areas where costs can be avoided. Finally, we inspect the entire fleet to determine
its condition and possible useful life and its current value on the market.
Presentation of Findings & Recommendations
We then provide you with a comprehensive list of recommendations. This covers equipment specifications, service recommendations, operator training recommendations, and ideal term new
equipment should be on site. Equipment specifications cover everything from mast and fork profiles to tire options and recommended fuel types for your equipment. Our team will also provide you with a list of safety and productivity recommendations
that will help to ensure the safety and efficiency of your employees, equipment, and the materials they move.
Implementation
The process doesn't end there. We continue to work with you to implement all aspects of your fleet management program. This includes the delivery of new equipment along with the removal of any outdated equipment. Our
team then provides integrated services such as cost control, data management, ease of ownership services, fleet management cost, and utilization reporting. This ensures that your fleet continues to be well-managed by our team, allowing you to keep
your focus on the day to day operation of your business.
Quarterly Analysis Review
After implementation, our team will follow up with you every quarter to review productivity and efficiency. If needed, we can then adjust the terms of your fleet tracking plan based on usage or changes to
your operation. This ensures that your fleet management plan or forklift management software is always tailored to your specific needs.
