Every
day I speak with mid level supervisors from both manufacturing
companies and distributor warehouse operations. The conversations are
always about the same subject which is the almost criminal misuse and
neglect of their battery powered material handling equipment. The
losses have to be in the millions of dollars! With money as tight as
it is I find it unbelievable how few of the companies that I have
spoken with have ever set up and enforced a maintenance and service
plan for their equipment and they are paying a terrible price in lost
productivity, new batteries and burned out motors and controllers.
The
batteries alone cost literally thousands of dollars to replace and
without proper service they can be ruined in less that a year instead
of lasting 10 to 14 years. Apathy on the part of the people on the
front lines who are supposed to be looking after this valuable
equipment is absolutely pathetic! In many cases where I have spoken
to supervisors they seem to be reluctant to enforce the equipment
maintenance rules. Others tell me that management will not give them
the manpower to get the job done. In many cases the equipment
operators have never been instructed in the proper care and feeding
of electric fork lift batteries which are always, it seems, severely
neglected, under serviced and under charged. It makes you wonder how
they treat their automobiles! The same is true for electric golf cart
fleets and for the ever increasing number of electric cars and
scooters that are powered by lead acid batteries. You cannot make a
profit or save money if you are constantly replacing batteries.
Our
business is formulating chemicals the prolong the life of lead acid
batteries by fighting and removing sulfation from these batteries. We
have been doing it for 27 years now and have gained a great deal of
knowledge in the field. In order to market our product we found out
early on that it is mandatory to educate our customers in the simple
skills required to test and service large batteries. We do this for
free and once we get a customer to use our products we just keep
right on selling them more product as they need it. We are also
available week days 9 AM to 4 PM for free customer support. So I
suggest that if you are spending thousands of dollars in replacement
batteries for your equipment that you contact me personally and I
will give you a free training program for your people including
setting up your own service program or recommending one of our
service people (your choice) to solve this extremely expensive
problem. What have you got to lose – the training is free.
We
just want to sell our chemicals and you get to save thousands of
dollars.
We
are also seeking service companies and distributors for our product.
