Acme Lift goes all telematics

US based wholesale rental company Acme Lift, has equipped its entire fleet of aerial work platforms and telehandlers with Topcon Positioning Systems second generation telematics equipment.

The Topcon Tierra devices track machine location, operating hours and engine information, sift raw machine data and provide immediate alerts and regular reports. The information is coupled with Tierra Web Service – an Internet-based user interface that helps the Acme Lift team make the most of the incoming information, generate reports and configure alerts.

Acme chief executive Woody Weld said: “Acme Lift pioneered the use of telematics, rolling out the first GPS-based tracking system in 2003. We are thrilled to move to the latest generation of telematics, allowing us to further enhance our commitment to the best customer service.”

“With 100 percent of our fleet tracked by Topcon Tierra, we have real-time visibility to not only pinpoint the location, but the ability to manage our maintenance intervals and automate the scheduling of service, annual inspections and transportation, all of which equates to a better overall experience for our customers,” adds Acme president Steve Nadelman.

Tom Hansen of Topcon said: “Topcon is a worldwide leader in advanced GPS-based products for the construction and rental industries. Telematics is one of our core businesses and Acme Lift is a perfect fit.”
