Acme Lift Chooses SmartEquip to Increase Fleet Efficiency
January 30, 2006 - Acme Lift Company, a leading equipment rental firm, has announced its launch of SmartEquip’s e-FleetPro™ Parts & Service Manager, a software system designed to increase fleet efficiency and reduce costs in the maintenance and support of equipment fleets as well as manage and order parts.
Using SmartEquip ™ technology, the system is seamlessly integrated with the company’s rental management system and provides a single, easy-to-access source for asset-specific parts and service support, including intelligent electronic parts catalogs, operator manuals, troubleshooting guides, safety notices, and equipment specifications. Typical results from implementing SmartEquip’s system include fleet utilization improvement of 3 percentage points or more, and a reduction of part order errors as high as 90%.
“Acme Lift prides itself on industry leadership through innovation in our business and in using advanced technologies to effectively service and support our equipment and our customers,” said Woody Weld, Acme Lift president. “Our customers include the largest and most demanding fleet owners in this industry. We have chosen SmartEquip technology to ensure that our equipment, no matter where it is, can be serviced quickly, correctly, and reliably.”

SmartEquip applications are built to deliver real-time value by lowering the fleet owner’s total cost of ownership. And that’s a major benefit for OEMs and fleet owners alike.”
