Port Operations — Lean Transit

Port Operations Equipment Analysis

Lean Transit has the knowledge and tools to optimize your fleet of drayage trucks and container forklifts. We conduct equipment analysis services to evaluate existing fleets through Reliability Centered Maintenance Programs, and also evaluation of Alternative Energy Drayage Trucks and Container Forklifts.

Clean diesel, CNG & Electric Drayage Trucks and Container Forkflits

The choices for port authorities and their contractors for equipment are numerous and growing when it comes to choices of propulsion:

· Lithium Ion – Battery Electric

· Compressed Natural Gas

· Propane

· Clean Diesel

· Battery Hybrid

All have the potential to be great options, but each option must be weighed carefully against the unique conditions of each port authority and contractor. Important variables such as budgets and operating plans are carefully studied and understood to guide the analysis to correct, fact-based conclusions for favorable program outcomes.

Lean Transit identifies critical pathways to outline the keys to successful port operations while exploring alternative energy options:

· Equipment duty cycle

· Operating plans

· Budget Guidelines

· Qualified Vendors

· Government Subsidies

· Financial Analysis

· Required infrastructure

· Risk mitigation

· Failure rate statistical analysis

Reliability Centered Maintenance Programs

If alternative energy, or the acquisition of new equipment isn’t feasible at this time, Lean Transit has extensive expertise assisting vehicle and equipment operators develop comprehensive reliability programs. These programs identify specific areas for improvement and quantify the value by line item.

Benefits of these programs include for vehicles and equipment fleets include:

· Reduced out of service percentages

· Decreased fuel consumption

· Lowered maintenance expense

· Extended equipment lifecycle
