Rawlings Streamlines Forklift Maintenance

CHALLENGE: EFFICIENCY WITH STANDARDIZATION

Rawlings manufactures a range of sporting equipment and apparel for baseball, basketball, hockey, softball and football. To keep up with this production of sporting goods, the company often runs multiple shifts, especially during the holiday season.

Rawlings turned to Heubel Shaw, an authorized Raymond Solutions and Support Center, to streamline its lift truck maintenance needs and reduce any downtime related to the lift truck fleet.
SOLUTION: PROPER TRUCKS AND TRAINING

Recognizing that its newly implemented maintenance plan would benefit from standardizing its lift truck fleet brand, Rawlings quickly incorporated a number of Raymond lift trucks with the help of Heubel.

Heubel also assisted Rawlings in properly configuring its trucks for its specific facility needs and in training and certifying its operators for proper use of its Raymond lift trucks
RESULT: A DEPENDABLE FUTURE
