In pursuit of safety

Safety in the workplace is a goal offering numerous benefits. From aiding in worker retention and meeting standards to ensuring the best for employees, safety is one of the keys to an organization’s success.

New designs making an impact

One company that has been bringing its safety technology to the industry in recent years is seeing some positive results. HeroWear designs exosuits that aid workers in performing demanding movements at work, according to the business website. “It was born out of a research project at Vanderbilt University,” said Mark Harris, co-founder, and chief executive officer of HeroWear.

Dr. Karl Zelik, a biomechanical engineer, had experienced back pain from lifting two small children, according to Harris. “He thought, ‘Could I design something that would take the load off my back and wear every day?” said Harris, who said the concept led to several years of research and development at Vanderbilt.

Harris said as the project grew from the research phase, it was introduced to companies and interest was strong. The idea formed of providing a solution to a major industry problem, namely, back pain and injuries. A prototype was launched and HeroWear was formed, announcing the HeroWear Apex.

The exosuit is a flexible 3-pound suit that takes 75 pounds of strain off a back with every lift, according to the business website.

“For some users, it’s actually closer to 125 pounds of back relief,” the site said. The exosuit is designed to support and assist the lower back muscles involved in repetitive lifting and bending activities, according to the website. It provides strength by functioning with a patent-pending on-off switch, the site said.

The switch is “activated by a single, easy-touse switch that can even be operated through personal protective equipment and coveralls,” the website said. HeroWear officials stress that the exosuit can be integrated with other types of safety equipment already in use. “It works fine

on a pallet jack or a forklift,” Harris added. “This was important when we designed it.”

Today, HeroWear has over 200 customers, according to Harris. Many companies want to test a launch of the product on a subset of workers and then expand use, he said.

“Typically, we see companies start out with 10, 20, or 30 units. They will try them out on a number of workers,” said Harris, who said HeroWear works with its customers to ensure the Apex suits are sized per worker. “It’s really important that these fit very well or else you don’t get the biomedical advantage,” said Harris, noting that the exosuits are modular so pieces can be rebuilt for specific workers.

The anecdotal reports from users have been positive, according to Harris. “What we hear a lot of after the first week is, ‘I’m going home and I’m not sore anymore. I can play with my kids. I’m not collapsing on the couch,” Harris said. “That’s what gets us really inspired.”

The Apex 2, a redesign based on three years of research, was launched in mid-March, according to Harris. When working with a company, he stressed that HeroWear aims to learn more about how the operation functions. The company does recommend starting with more than a single exosuit. “There is a psychosocial aspect to this. You are putting something new on a worker. You need a critical mass of workers, so it becomes somewhat normalized,” said Harris, who said there is better success in a launch when several workers are wearing the exosuit.

Having equipment like the HeroWear exosuit on hand can possibly help with employee retention as well, Harris noted. “These are really, really hard jobs. It’s that first few weeks or a couple of months when they realize how hard it is. If you can make the job a little easier, a smoother transition, we suspect that will improve retention,” he said. The bands on the exosuits are replaced every 12 -to-18 months and the textile base has a 4-to-5-year life, according to Harris.

The company’s leaders imagine widespread use of the products in the future. “Our long-term vision is everybody has an exosuit in their garage. Like everyone has power tools. Maybe you don’t need it every day, but it’s there,” said Harris, noting that everyone needs to do some amount of lifting and leaning in their daily lives.

He added that research shows about 80 percent of the population will experience back pain at some time in their lives. “It’s kind of crazy that we lift things now in the same way as the people who built the pyramids. The physics haven’t changed,” Harris said. “It seems like a pretty big opportunity.”

Studying standards

For those looking to stay up to date on robotics, Jeff Fryman offers courses through the Association for Advancing Automation, or A3. “I go through an overview of the basic safety requirements from the American national standard, the ANSI / RIA R 15.06,” said Fryman, a safety standards trainer through A3. He said his courses cover risk assessments and task-based methodology consistent with what the standards require.

Class attendees are typically safety engineers or mechanical control engineers responsible for designing and implementing robot applications, according to Fryman. He also offers a class that is more in-depth on standard requirements.

Fryman teaches both in-person and online. He noted that the international safety standards match up with the national requirements and has had students around the world for the classes. “There’s basically one worldwide robot standard,” Fryman said. “We’re working on the basic industrial robot, not the walking, talking supermarket-greeting robots.”

The basic course is offered monthly and collaborative robot safety training is bi-monthly as a webinar on the A3 website at automate.org. For in-house classes, Fryman said he encourages a limit of 30 students in the room to enhance participation.

Although the course is geared toward the manufacturers and integrators of the robots, Fryman said he does address the topic of users in the training and the importance the standards have throughout an organization.

“If you have robots, you need to know about the standards for robot safety that covers them. It’s useful for the plant managers,” Fryman said. Industrywide, some safety dates coming up this year include OSHA’s Safe and Sound Week from Aug. 7 to 13, and ITA’s National Forklift Safety Day on June 12 and 13.

Industry award

Individuals are making advances in the name of safety as well. The American Society of Safety Professionals recently named Subba Rao Palagummi as the 2023 Safety Professional of the Year.

Palagummi, CSP, CMOISH, F.S. Eng, is an oil and gas industry safety expert who has helped advance occupational safety and health for more than 30 years in India, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, according to an ASSP press release.

Palagummi is a corporate health, safety, and environmental specialist at Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), overseeing a large team of health, safety, and environment professionals and contractors, the release said. “He has built a reputation of being a safety leader with integrity, knowledge (and) ethics, the release said.

Palagummi developed and delivered a training module called “Supervising for Safety” and organized a successful road safety awareness campaign, according to the ASSP. “He has spearheaded task forces across the group and developed standards and guidelines that led to corporate performance improvement and an enhanced safety culture,” said Tahir Azhibekov, a health, safety, and environment manager at ADNOC. “His business acumen and people management skills are very much admired across the organization.”

Palagummi also mentors fellow safety and health professionals to help them advance in their careers, according to ASSP. He is a lead auditor, is known for his ability to work collaboratively, and is experienced at creating emergency response plans, the statement said.

Palagummi said it was a privilege to receive the award. “This is definitely a proud moment for me,” he said, expressing “sincere gratitude” to the ASSP leadership and board of directors. He

thanked those who introduced him to the society and senior ASSP members supportive during his career.

“Special thanks to Mr. Ashok Garlapati who has been my mentor and extending his guidance and continued support,” Palagummi said. “This achievement would not have been possible without my ADNOC Onshore management support,” he added, noting the company’s HSE leadership for recognizing his efforts in various initiatives.

Asked about his work with students and guiding the next generation of workers in safety projects and careers, Palagummi said he feels it is “the need of the hour” to create interest and confidence in HSE as an academic choice and profession.

“The requirement to produce HSE professionals is very much essential to the industry and specific to oil and gas, chemical industries, and construction industries,” Palagummi said.

Cover Story continued MORE THAN JUST FORKLIFTS

He noted that he regularly visits universities and conducts awareness sessions on HSE certifications and opportunities. “HSE professionals need to continuously engage with organization leadership to ensure they walk the talk to support HSE programs and initiatives which are aimed at improving the HSE culture,” Palagummi said.

Palagummi said every industry currently has an established set of HSE standards, procedures, and guidelines that are being effectively implemented. In the next few years, Palagummi said he hopes to see safety practices developed focused on proactive indicators like fatigue management, mental well-being, and welldefined mentoring programs. “Organizations also need to embrace the new environmental, social governance requirements to meet the current industry expectations as well,” he said.

Aftermarket Chris Aiello

Stressing safety and safety related

to your customers is good business

With this month’s issue we are putting the spotlight on safety, it is a good time to discuss some products, accessories, and services that can be a part of a dealership’s aftermarket offering. Additionally, discuss how Customer Service Sales Reps, Parts Professionals, and Service Technicians can all drive the sales of said products and services.

In my last article, I talked about dedicated customer service sales reps will allow your dealership to provide focused and professional aftermarket parts support, along with dedication to targeting and obtaining service agreements and the upselling of service repair quotes. Let us explore a few safety items and safety-related services that your customer-facing sales, service, and parts teams can quote and sell to your customers.

Safety Lighting

Safety lighting such as strobe lights come standard on the forklift from the original equipment manufacturer. Operators and pedestrians in the warehouse can easily become ‘numb’ to these standard-issue strobe lights. This creates an opportunity for your dealership to sell upgraded safety lighting for your customer’s forklifts.

Safety lights prevent forklift collisions and accidents and illuminate blind spots. Types of safety lights include rotating and flashing lights that attract attention, along with projection warning lights. These have become very popular in recent years; you may be familiar with the blue spot projection warning light. Projection warning lights create visual warning signals for people around the forklift. It’s easy to see which direction the forklift is moving in, which helps avoid collisions, accidents, and injuries. There are even some projection lights on the market now that project a ‘do not enter zone’ to

services

ensure pedestrians keep a safe distance away from the forklift.

All of these aftermarket safety lighting options are products that you can add on during the PreDelivery Inspection of a new forklift sold to your customer, up-sell during service maintenance, or demo during a customer service sales visit.

Chains, Forks, and Tires

OSHA’s daily pre-operation forklift inspections call for the inspection of a variety of items on the forklift prior to starting the forklift. A few of these items are ‘high-wear items’ that can be inspected by a technician that is performing service or scheduled maintenance on the forklift or by a customer service sales rep visiting your customer or potential customer’s facility.

First, let’s discuss the forklift chain. Application factors like chemicals, dust, or even weather can certainly shorten the life of a forklift chain. Ensuring the chain can operate safely, look for misalignment, rust, corrosion, cracking, damaged pins, cracks, or any other visible defect on a forklift’s chain. The chain elongates as it wears leading to a significant increase in actual pitch and potential chain failure. At 2% elongation, a service tech or customer service sales rep must advise on how much life is left until a replacement is needed. At 3% elongation means that the strength of the chain has been reduced by 15% and the chain must be replaced immediately. A great device for your technician or customer service sales rep is a forklift chain wear gauge. This device measures chain wear and indicates the percentage of elongation as noted above. This will allow them to show the customer their forklift chain elongation and quote the service labor and parts required to replace the chain.

Second, let’s take a look at forklift tires. A forklift’s tires will wear down faster than other parts on a forklift. The weight of the forklift and its load causes a lot of wear and tear on the tires. Worn-out tires can be dangerous for the forklift driver but also for everyone in the surrounding

area. Part of the OSHA pre-operation inspection for the operator is to check the tire condition and pressure including looking for cuts and gouges. Sometimes these items get overlooked, so tires are another item that your technicians and CSSR’s can be looking to quote and sell replacements to your customers.

Finally, let’s discuss forks. Per OSHA standards, forks should be part of the preoperation inspection. Forks that are not in good working order must be replaced. Forklifts should not be operated if the forks show any defects such as surface cracks, blades are not straight, the difference in height of fork tips, excessive fork hook wear, etc. Another great device for your technician or customer service sales rep to have is a fork wear caliper. This device allows your tech or CSSR to measure the fork blade wear, the fork hooks, and the fork angle. The fork angle deviation must be within a margin of 3 degrees. That means that the angle between the blade and the shank must be between 87 and 93 degrees. When the fork angle is outside of this degree range, the forks must be replaced. Furthermore, OSHA standards state that forks with 10% or more wear to the blades must be removed from service. Being equipped with this fork wear caliper device will allow them to show the customer the fork wear and quote the service labor and parts required to replace the forks.

Operator Training

According to OSHA standards, only trained and competent operators shall be permitted to operate a powered industrial truck. All powered industrial truck operators must be trained and certified to operate the equipment legally. Additionally, re-certification is required every three years. Many of the customers you sell to will not have their own in-house trainers and may be looking for a third party to meet these operator training requirements. Many lift truck dealers already have this training as part of their product and service offerings to their customers. If your organization does not currently offer this service, I recommend looking into exploring it. This value-added service will not only drive revenue to your dealership but also drive customer loyalty to your brand and your organization.

Celebrate and promote National Forklift Safety Day this month, your customerfacing sales, service, and parts teams can create awareness and shine the light on forklift safety to your customers. The safety of your customers is a priority, make sure they’re educated on the importance of these safety-related products and services mentioned that your organization can offer.

CORRECTION:

In the May issue of Material Handling Wholesaler, we had an error in the statistics in the Aftermarket column.

The paragraph should have read:

According to the MHEDA data, a typical lift truck dealership revenue mix consists of the following:

• New Equipment Sales: 29.2%

• Used Equipment Sales: 7.9%

• Parts: 18.4%

• Service: 20.4%

• Rental Billings: 14.4%

• Other Revenue (not listed above): 9.7% We apologize for the error.

Bottom Line Garry Bartecki

Balance sheet Part 2

There is no doubt that Balance Sheet Management needs to be a top priority for Dealer Management. Dealers have a lot of money tied up in the Balance Sheet and with current economic and industry dynamics changing it will be imperative that Dealers be able to convert Balance Sheet Assets into CASH. Sounds like another MTM conversation but it is not.

I have been doing my normal economic daily review which entails about 100 email sources plus hours listening to CNBC and Bloomberg to try and anticipate future activities that will impact the equipment business in terms of material handling equipment as well as construction equipment.

And as of April 19, 2023, I am taking a stand that:

• Rates will remain higher and last longer.

• Inflation factors considered by the Fed are slowing but the remaining factors the Fed has no control over are sticking.

• The recession will happen if we are not in one already,

• Banks will be tough to deal with for the foreseeable future.

• The EV conversion is moving much faster than anticipated.

• Any customers with any connection to the auto industry can expect major changes in their company activities.

• OEMs, Dealers, and Customers will probably change the way they do business because they have to.

• Most items on your Balance Sheet will probably be impacted by the above. Your homework assignment for this evening is to figure out what your Balance Sheet will look like a year from now (especially the cash account).

A typical deal Balance Sheet would look like this:

• 2% Cash

• 28% AR

• 28% Inventory

• 40% Fleet and Fixed Assets

On the LIABILITY & EQUITY SIDE

• 11% AP

• 17% NP -current

• 7% Other Current Lia • 25% Long Term Lia

• 38% Equity

So, what do you think? How will the changes discussed above positively or negatively impact your balance sheet, understanding that changes in the Balance Sheet can leave you with either a higher cash balance or a lower cash balance? Hey,

maybe we should turn this into a game and see who comes out with the biggest cash balance. The company with the largest cash amount will be featured in my Cover Story for the September issue. Just send me your starting Balance Sheet and a Balance Sheet a year later and we will assign a code number to it to keep it confidential. Dean even said he will give a full-page ad to the winner. Please email the two balance sheets above to me by July 7th. Email them to editorial@MHWmag.com.

I guess the first thing I would do is compile a couple of revenue stream projections covering current lines of business as well as what you would expect from changes your OEMs will make and how those new items will price out and how will they compare maintenance wise with what you are selling now. And I guess you would want to include any new products or service lines you may add to support customers and their current needs. Don’t forget to factor in inflation as well as new cost line items needed to support new business.

Next, I would get a list of my top 50 customers and determine if they are “auto” related in any way, shape, or form. I guess any company with EV exposure also falls into this category. My fear would be that they will no longer need the number of units owned or rented. Finding this out sooner rather than later allows you to plan to replace “lost” business while at the same time helping them downsize their fleet by selling off the units for them.

My biggest fear would be the ultimate value and use of what you have hiding in your parts inventory and used equipment inventory. This is usually a scary scenario. What is interesting is the value can probably increase as supplies disappear, but at some point, sink like a rock as demand disappears. A timing issue for sure. Me, I would

sell off what I could now as prices are elevated and convert the assets into cash.

The goal here would be to get rid of slowmoving or sure-to-be slow-moving inventory and units to make room for replacement units and related maintenance items.

You have to be a little careful here because your Assets are supporting those loans you have on the books in terms of an operating line and equipment purchase long-term notes. Sell off too much and the bank will want a piece to put their ratios back in order.

My guess is that new unit revenues will increase for some time but that support revenues will decline as new units become more efficient and thus require less maintenance. I also expect rental revenues to increase but with some new rental scenarios coming into being. And let’s not forget that there are OEMs now planning to sell direct, which puts you in the service and maintenance business, which may not be a bad idea.

In the end, however, whatever plan you come up with needs to pay off related debt before you can move on to another business plan.

What we are discussing here is not easy to get your hands around. I would suggest that conversations with all OEMs are in order to see what they have in mind, especially for your region. Who knows, this may also be a good time to add other companies to your fold if their management is not ready to deal with this new business environment.

Salespeople: “Never fail again” Here’s how!

One of the greatest fears of salespeople is failure. Early in his career, the late David H. Sandler, founder of the Sandler Sales Institute, created a mechanism that prevented him, or any salesperson who uses it, from ever failing again. The following adaptation from You Can’t Teach A Kid To Ride A Bike At A Seminar, by David H. Sandler and John P. Hayes, explains Sandler’s technique The Upfront Contract.

John Hayes recalls a magic moment in the book where David Sandler recounts how The Upfront Contract was born. One day, the thought occurred to Sandler that all he really needed to do was establish an agreement with a prospect to see if they had anything to discuss. That took the pressure off trying to close the sale. If they agreed they had something to discuss, they could continue to determine if they should do business together. If there was nothing to discuss, however, no harm done. There was no need to try to sell the prospect.

By establishing the agreement or a contract before Sandler tried to sell his services, he could call on anyone and never risk failing. Sandler couldn’t fail trying to get an upfront contract. Either he got a commitment to continue, or he didn’t. If he did, all the better, and if he didn’t, Sandler was out the door, no regrets. Suddenly, selling became more of a game than a risk or a challenge. If you think of selling as a game, then you’ll find it appropriate to use The Upfront Contract.

Every sport uses one. Before a baseball game, the umpire calls the managers from the opposing teams to home plate, and they discuss the rules of the game. They agree on what’s foul and fair, what makes a home run, and they review any unusual circumstances about the ballpark. Later, during the game, if a batter hits a ball behind the catcher, up over the screen, and into the crowd, there’s no argument that it’s a foul ball. . . Why don’t salespeople take the same approach? What could be more honest than to establish a set of rules at the beginning of interacting with a prospect?

An Upfront Contract, or better yet, a series of Upfront Contracts, will save time for both you and the prospect, and help you make more money in sales without offending anyone. By always arriving at an agreement up front, you and the prospect can avoid misunderstandings, as well as the rhetoric and posturing that often occurs during the selling dance. An Upfront Contract improves communications and greatly enhances the profession of selling.

Here are some samples of how to form Upfront Contracts:

When you meet your prospect (either on the phone or in person), say something like this: “Jim, let’s set some ground rules for our meeting. I’d like to have the opportunity to ask you some questions about your business, and I’d also like you to ask me anything you’d like about my product. Is that okay with you?” (First Upfront Contract).

As we ask and answer each other’s questions, “Jim, we may decide there isn’t a fit between what you need and my product. We may decide it doesn’t make sense to spend any more time together. If we reach that point, are you comfortable telling me that?” (Second Upfront Contract).

“On the other hand, if you see that my product makes sense to you, we can decide to move forward. Okay, Jim?” (Third Upfront Contract).

“When we finish today, Jim, we can set up the ground rules as to how you and I will proceed. Is that satisfactory?” (Fourth Upfront Contract).

See how it works?

The more often Sandler used upfront contracting in sales calls, he discovered there was rarely a need to make a presentation. . . Why? Because when you create a series of contracts, prospects can experience how your product or service will fulfill their needs. As you develop the contracts, you gently guide the prospects to see that your product or service can eliminate the problem or provide the solution.

By establishing Upfront Contracts, you’re not guaranteed to get every order. . . However, establishing Upfront Contracts will guarantee your control of the selling process, every step of the way. As a salesperson, you’ll get in the habit of never making a move without knowing in advance what will happen when you do.

Even small items require an Upfront Contract. For example, your prospect asks you to call back on Thursday, but you don’t know why. Gently say, “Sally, I’ll be happy to call you

on Thursday. . . what will happen when we talk on Thursday?” Before you give up control of a selling situation, take the opportunity to get an Upfront Contract.

Upfront contracting won’t be easy because it’s asking you to change your behavior. At first, it’s going to feel awkward, but the more you use the technique, the faster you’ll master it.

One final word: The most important Upfront Contract you will ever make is with

yourself. It’s the contract that says nothing will drive you out of sales. The only way you can break that contract is to quit. Don’t.
