To Our Valued Customers,
Even with the glimpse of spring and warmer times just a few days ago, March is sending us off with the last remnants of winter. I HOPE! So, as we finish our last shoveling of the year and begin to think about the excitement of filing our April 15th taxes, we all need to remember to take a moment to breath and regroup once in a while. Before you know it we'll be in full swing summer family parties and events each weekend!
If there is anything that we at E. D. Farrell Co., Inc. can do to alleviate the more stressful activities in your daily lives, don't hesitate to give us a ring. We are always here to help you with anything you need, or even just to chat.

Product Feature: Very Narrow Aisle Forklifts
Are you trying to maximize every square inch of space in your warehouse? Is pallet count your top priority as Warehouse Manager? Have you ever considered moving to a Yale NTA very narrow aisle forklift?
NTA - Very narrow aisles are designed specifically for maximum storage density. Yale very narrow aisle trucks are ideal for pallet handling and case picking in applicants ranging from 16 to 55 ft. Yale spotlights the NTA for high density warehousing that requires maximum throughput.
NTA Productivity Enhancements:
1. AC Motor Technology: provides high starting torque, responsive directional changes, and smooth rapid acceleration
2. CANbus Controller: CANbus controller reduces wiring by 40% and electrical connections by 25%, resulting in improved reliability and improved visibility through the mast.
3. Auto Deceleration System: eliminates the need to manually apply the service brake, reducing operator fatigue and enhancing productivity.
4. Thermal Management System: continually monitors component temperature and adjusts truck performance, allowing trucks to run significantly cooler and longer.
5. Smart-Glide Height Sensing System: provides step-less speed control by optimizing maximum travel speed at various fork heights. The resulting benefits are faster travel speeds, improved acceleration, and increased productivity.
6. Tri & Quad Form Mast: stiff, heavy duty mast minimizes deflection, providing operator stability. 180° Rotating Turret Head: maximizes storage density and allows the operator to easily service both sides of the aisle.
7. Electronically Programmable Pantograph: variable stroke length, eliminating time-consuming "double-biting" at pick up and deposit stations

Service Feature: Forklift Safety & Maintenance
Proper maintenance starts with the daily checks of the forklift as well as other elements which are required for a safe operating environment. Examples of other important items to check are wheel chocks, trailer locks and dock plates, adequate lighting, and travel lane markings for trucks and pedestrians.
i. These daily checks or lift truck pre-operation inspections are an OSHA requirement. Are your operators completing these inspections prior to starting each shift? If not, you are not in compliance with this very specific regulation.
ii. Operational Maintenance or Full Service Maintenance
1. An Operational Maintenance or Full Service Maintenance program ensures each of your lift trucks receives timely thorough inspections. In addition to ensuring up time and productivity, these inspections and service maintenance will also give you assurance that you are operating safely.
a. You can't afford to lose productivity - and we can't afford to let you. Your local Yale® dealer provides many Service Programs with the goals of reducing labor costs, increasing up time, and saving time for personnel - all which affect your company's bottom line.
b. Operational Maintenance - Clean, Lube, Check and Adjust All Vital Systems
i. Keep your fleet running efficiently with scheduled comprehensive maintenance of all major truck systems and components. Your Yale® dealer will work with you to set up a schedule that's convenient for you and meets the individual duty-cycle requirements of your trucks.
c. Full Service Maintenance
This plan can provide the lowest overall fleet maintenance cost and the highest degree of truck utilization. Under this plan your Yale® dealer assumes responsibility for virtually all maintenance and repairs (excluding those arising from accidents and misuse). There's no maintenance scheduling to worry about. No parts inventory. No service training programs. No purchase order to cut.
For more on these programs, visit our website or give us a call today!

Safety Feature: Avoid one of OSHA's Top Violations
How to Avoid One of OSHA's Top Violations
Forklift Safety: How to Avoid One of OSHA's Top Violations
i. There's nothing funny about forklift safety. More than 20,000 injuries related to forklifts occur in U.S. workplaces each year. Many employees are injured when lift trucks are inadvertently driven off loading docks, lifts fall between docks and an unsecured trailer, they are struck by a lift truck, or when they fall while on elevated pallets and tines. Most incidents also involve property damage, including damage to overhead sprinklers, racking, pipes, walls, and machinery.
ii. According to OSHA, most employee injuries and property damage can be attributed to lack of safe operating procedures, lack of safety rule enforcement, and insufficient or inadequate training. OSHA rules are designed to prevent such injuries.
iii. It's no surprise, then, that violations of OSHA's powered industrial truck standard rank in the top 10 most frequently violated OSHA standards each year. In 2008, OSHA issued about 3,500 citations, most of which were related to training.
iv. Forklifts are heavy machines that can seriously injure or kill people; they're not like mini-cars in an amusement park. Remind employees that forklifts can topple over, collide with objects (and people), and drop heavy loads, as well as represent a possible fire and explosion hazard when refueling.
v. Operators need more than just the basics. OSHA's standard has specific requirements for operator training that require a combination of formal training with practical instruction, as well as an evaluation and certification process. The standard says that only those who are already competent operators can provide this training, and also specifies a long list of required training topics.
vi. Once trained, operators need refresher training and evaluation at least every 3 years-more often for operators who have a record of accidents or near-misses. And speaking of near misses-don't take them lightly! Use them as an opportunity for formal or informal safety training so the "real thing" doesn't happen at your facility. Trainers should refer to the OSHA standard to make sure all the required subject matter is covered.
