Lift truck manufacturers are leveraging technology on both sides of the equation when it comes to the labor availability challenge. Most of the major lift truck original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) now offer fully autonomous lift trucks that don't require an operator, but much of the other tech from OEMs is actually about making lift truck operators more productive. Yes, fully robotic lift trucks are here, but on balance, most lift truck technology being put to use today centers on making operators more connected, comfortable and productive. Technologies such as telematics and fleet software, operator assist and ergonomic features that use sensors, as well as motive power technology such as lithium-ion batteries that cut out battery-swap procedures, are ways to make operators more productive. |
