ADC and RFID
enabled forklifts are now available for order directly from Hyster or
Yale dealers with Intermec equipment installed, giving customers the
benefit of improved asset utilization and performance, and the
convenience of having a single point of contact for service and
support.
“The material handling and information technology industries have
converged to the extent that customers are recognizing the
efficiencies of enabling technology at the point of material handling.
NMHG recognizes that the forklift is becoming an information portal
that can deliver efficiencies to customers well beyond the standard
features of the truck. The Intermec relationship enables our dealers
and National Account teams to provide a higher value to customers,”
said Jonathan Dawley, Manager of Business Development. It is estimated
that approximately 70 percent of warehouse forklifts in North America
have mobile computing or data collection equipment installed. “The
opportunity to synergize the forklift and the customer demand for data
via mobile computing is undeniable. Our partnership with Intermec
gives us the capacity to offer our customers the very best of both the
material handling and technology worlds,” said Dawley.
With over 250,000 vehicle installations and 17,000 warehouse
installations, Intermec is one of the world’s largest mobile computing
and data collection manufacturers. NMHG is one of the world’s largest
forklift manufacturers with nearly 60,000 units sold annually through
more than 435 dealer locations in North America.
Hyster and Yale are also authorized to resell Intermec Medallion
service contracts, giving customers dependable, consistent service for
their technology equipment.
