The SkidWeigh Plus UT40 onboard monitor gathers operational data from material handling vehicles including operator performance, vehicle utilization, and idling status. It automatically determines when a vehicle is idling and prompts the operator to identify a valid downtime reason or label it as "Other". All operator activities and downtime reasons are recorded and can be uploaded, sent to a base station, and provide instant feedback to operators. By constantly measuring and making visible all downtime reasons, vehicle utilization can be improved without analysis.
