Access control via Smartphone
Vehicle access control
ELOfleet ensures that only trained, authorized drivers can use your lift trucks. Drivers have to log into a smartphone on the truck, using their company RFID card. For organizations with data privacy concerns, anonymous PIN-based login is also an option. The system provides three authorization levels: normal drivers, managers and maintenance personnel.
Electronic safety checklists
To meet legal requirements (like OSHA regulations), ELOfleet requires a safety check before a driver can use a lift truck. You can customize your checklist questions and multiple-choice answers—using the ELOfleet app. And drivers complete their checklists through the app, too! They answer these series of questions to confirm the truck is safe to operate.
Web-based software
Intuitive and always at hand
ELOfleet’s individually configurable dashboard provides a clear, organized view of key fleet metrics. Data is refreshed in near real time and can be summarized in daily, weekly and monthly roll-ups.
Multi-site analysis
ELOfleet includes 10 standard reports, which provide drill-down details across any number of facilities. Comparing site data enables you to identify best practices in safety to reduce accidents and damage costs; optimize fleet size for capital cost savings; and identify opportunities to improve material handling productivity.
Impact Management - avoid unnecessary costs
Better safe than sorry
Forklift impacts can cause costly damage to a facility and goods, as well as the forklifts themselves. Not to mention the cost of lost productivity. To promote safer driving habits, manage incidents more effectively, and cut the frequency and cost of forklift accidents, ELOfleet records impacts with a state-of-the-art MEMS sensor and categorizes them by severity. The system can react automatically in a variety of configurable ways, based on the severity of the impact. For instance, the system can slow the vehicle down to creep speed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can ELOfleetTM integrate with my existing forklift fleet and infrastructure?
Yes. Our ELOfleetTM telematics system is OEM agnostic and has been designed for ease of installation and use with your current fleet, whether your fleet of vehicles is manufactured by a single brand or a mix of multiple brands. No changes to your organization's forklift fleet or infrastructure are required for the installation and usage of ELOfleetTM.
Does install ELOfleetTM void my forklifts warrantee?
No. Installing ELOfleetTM on your fleet of trucks does not void the manufacturers' warrantee.
How long does ELOfleetTM installation take?
Installation timelines depend on the scope of the project; such as fleet size and the number of sites. ELOKON supports structured implementation planning to minimize downtime and ensure the system can be rolled out efficiently and reliably.
Things to consider:
- How many trucks can you have taken out of use at a given time?
- How much space is available for the ELOKON team to work?
- How many different types of vehicles ELOfleetTM is being installed on? Installation on different truck types can require more or less time and work.
Where is the ELOfleetTM software hosted?
Our ELOfleetTM web-based software can be hosted off premises in the cloud or on premises within your organizations firewall.
- Our off-premises cloud-based option is hosted on Microsoft Azure
- Our on-premises option is hosted within your organizations data center
What is Telematics?
Telematics is a technology that uses a combination of connected sensors, onboard hardware, and wireless communication to collect and transmit operational data from fleet vehicles.
In the material handling industry, forklift telematics is used within forklift fleet management systems to monitor vehicle usage, operator activity, impacts, maintenance needs, and vehicle location in real time.
This data helps warehouses and distribution centers improve forklift safety, optimize fleet utilization, reduce downtime, and increase overall material handling efficiency.
How can telematics improve forklift safety?
Telematics improves forklift safety by using connected sensors and fleet management software to monitor operational behavior, speed, log impacts, and vehicle access control in real time.
By providing impact alerts, safety reports, and data on unsafe driving behaviors, telematics helps warehouse managers, reduce incidents, improve compliance, and create safer material handling and warehouse operations overall.
ELOKON’s ELOfleetTM forklift telematics system includes operator login and customizable pre-shift safety checklists, ensuring only authorized and trained personnel use equipment while identifying potential safety, maintenance or mechanical issues before use.
How is telematics changing forklift fleet management?
Telematics is changing forklift fleet management by providing:
- Real-time data on forklift usage
- Operator performance
- Equipment location
- Maintenance needs
With forklift telematics and fleet management software like our ELOfleetTM, warehouse managers can identify underutilized equipment, improve preventive maintenance, and make data-driven decisions to optimize fleet size and productivity.
Telematics enables smarter, more efficient material handling operations by increasing visibility, reducing downtime, and improving safety across the forklift fleet.
