Take Care of Business Before the Holiday Rush

Planning ahead is always a good thing. Especially when it involves the Holiday season, you may want to consider getting ahead of those deadlines. While you think you may be ready for all the celebration the season brings, you may need extra time for that surprise visit from your aunt, or hunting the present you always thought would be on the store shelf.

So get all the work stuff accomplished earlier then have that extra time to spare when those Holiday surprises pop up. Here are some things that you can maybe take care of in advance:

1. Collate data you need for that year end report. Yes it may be too early, but you can gather the ones from January to October already. This way, you only have to input data for the remainder of the year. Sometimes too you're going to have to collaborate with others to accomplish that report. Give them a heads up and let them start preparing as well.

2. Don't wait 'til your next scheduled car check up or for the service button on your car to light up. Bring your vehicles up to speed with oil change, brake checks, etc., ahead of time so that when you're running around town over the Holidays, you don't have to worry about car break downs.

3. As early as now, finalize the list of recipients of corporate gifts. Start signing the greeting cards and passing them around. This helps in getting them out in the mail earlier without having to worry about courier/postal office's Holiday delivery load.

4. Check the supplies in your office. Are you running low on anything that is more in demand over the Holidays? Plates, spoons, forks, coffee supplies?

5. How are your service vehicles performing? Are your lift trucks well-oiled? Batteries in place? Filters changed? Do you have a go-to rental company in case you need more forklifts to service increased demand for your products this season?

6. Are any of your licenses expiring before the year ends? Driver's license? Business permits? Forklift operator certification? Subscription renewals? Now is the time to check into these things before issuing departments and organizations for these requirements announce their Holiday schedule.

Now breathe. Relax. After you've taken time to accomplish these things, you have more flexibility for that surprise visit.

The Basics Humans Need to Live are the Basics Forklifts Need to Perform

Food, shelter, clothing, proper hygiene, medical and dental check-ups are what enables a person to live by a certain standard. Proper nourishment, rest, and care are what allow the human body to perform at its best. Shouldn’t we afford our warehouse equipment the same?

As warehouse managers, business owners, lift truck operators, we invested a lot in acquiring our forklift.
To have it perform to its potential and to extend its length of use, we must provide it with proper nourishment, rest, and care.

How long has it been since its last oil, filter, and fluid change?

For electric lift trucks, do you have enough batteries to alternate between?

When did you last have your forklift serviced?

Is it on a regular maintenance schedule as prescribed by its manual?

Have you checked the tires recently?

Are its braking systems up to standards?

For as low as $60, you can put your forklifts (pallet jack starts at $60.00) under Southern California Material Handling’s Planned Maintenance Program. This is an exclusive offer for new contracts. Call 562-949-1000 now and ask about a planned maintenance quote for your forklift model. You may also visit http://www.scmh.com/parts-services-services/ for more details.

Don’t wait until your equipment flatlines on you. Care for it as you would your own body. After all living is not enough, in the end, with optimum productivity; we should all aim to thrive.
