Northgate Markets, a chain of supermarkets in Southern California, is reaping the results of its recently fortified safety and compliance efforts at its distribution center in Anaheim. Working with Crown<\/a> Equipment, one of the world\u2019s largest material handling companies, the family-owned and operated business has achieved its lowest injury rate in 11 years and reached full compliance with forklift operator pre-shift inspection requirements.<\/p>\n

Looking to improve inspection documentation and impact avoidance, Northgate Markets implemented Crown<\/a>\u2019s InfoLink wireless operator and fleet management system to monitor and manage every motorized vehicle in its fleet. This includes more than 100 Crown<\/a> forklifts and non-Crown<\/a> equipment. From setting impact thresholds for each forklift to electronically filing vehicle inspection data and impact reports, InfoLink has helped Northgate Markets improve operator compliance, productivity and safety. In fact, since implementation, the company has seen declining workplace injury rates for the past three years.<\/p>\n

Northgate Markets’ material handling fleet varies from forklifts working in the elements outdoors to reach trucks working on smooth floors indoors.<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cWith Crown<\/a>\u2019s InfoLink, I get pre-trip inspection reports on every piece of equipment that every individual gets on every day, period,\u201d said Keith McCarron, director of distribution, Northgate Markets. \u201cIn every operation I\u2019ve ever been in, it\u2019s really difficult to fill out a piece of paper and turn it in every day at the beginning and end of a shift. Now I get 100 percent return. No matter what, I know that piece of equipment is being operated safely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Northgate Markets’\u00a0material handling fleet varies from forklifts working in the elements outdoors to reach trucks working on smooth floors indoors. According to McCarron, the ability to adjust InfoLink\u2019s impact thresholds to meet these various applications has been crucial to minimizing impacts while also modifying operator behavior.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability to set each individual piece of equipment at a different impact threshold is key,\u201d said McCarron. \u201cNow operators are more aware of that threshold and hitting a rack or bumping a pallet. Prior to InfoLink, they wouldn\u2019t have given it a thought. We\u2019ve had a steady decrease in injuries and Crown<\/a>\u2019s operator and fleet management system is a part of that program.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
