Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/28/2018 -- The use of Topper Industrial carts and tugger minimizes training time and cuts costs. When working with some powered industrial trucks the possibility of serious injury or fatality is a real consideration. According to OSHA, forklifts cause about 85 fatal accidents per year; 34,900 accidents result in serious injury; and 61,800 are classified as non-serious.

Studies show that many of these accidents could have been prevented with better training. No one starts out with the innate knowledge, skills, and abilities to safely operate a forklift. As OSHA requires, drivers must be properly trained to do so. The lesson to be learned is, operating a forklift without training is dangerous and can even be fatal to you or other employees working in the area.

Training can also prevent or reduce the severity of an accident related to the stability of a lift truck traveling with an elevated load. Keep the load as low as possible to increase vehicle stability and to help prevent tip-over accidents. Even if drivers ignore this rule, and the vehicle tips over, injuries are usually minor if they stay with the vehicle instead of jumping off. The normal tendency is for a person to jump downward, so the driver lands on the floor or ground--usually directly into the path of the overhead guard. The most common result is a crushing injury to the head, neck, or back where the overhead guard strikes the employee.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/27/2018 -- The lean goal is to move toward a forklift-free operation wherever it is practical, according to Topper Industrial. An Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) tugger cart system is a forklift-free system that compliments lean manufacturing by shortening lead times, minimizes waste of the production line, and maintains an even flow of activities. A tugger cart system reduces the need for many forklift trips.

A fork truck free system typically requires less than half of the equipment and labor because one tugger can tow from four to eight loaded carts while a traditional system needs four employees to operate four forklifts. However, the choice to go forklift-free is not easy and requires much preparation.

Before switching from forklifts, the workflow throughout the shop must be evaluated to examine how each department and its suppliers will be impacted and what, if any, size or weight limitations may be involved. If carts limit certain material from converting to mobile queues, then a forklift will work better.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/21/2018 -- Topper Industrial is at the cutting edge of a trend in the manual materials handling industry to utilize towable industrial carts rather than fork trucks as a solution for moving materials within a facility. Tugger AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles) pull towable carts for moving materials in some industrial environments, from cellular manufacturing to large distribution centers.

When a forklift operator moves a load of materials, they are seated behind that load, at times making it harder to see where they are going. Operators of the tugger or AGV systems move trains of multiple towable carts and can see the route around the facility more clearly.

The patented Topper Industrial carts are hooked together by using a towbar and hitch that can be quickly connected and disconnected. With a mother-daughter system, the mother carts stay connected all the time and the daughter carts slide into or out of the mother carts easily.

While fork trucks can be susceptible to accidents due to speed, user error and tipping, tuggers or AGVs are only able to move at a slow speed around a designated route. Knowledge of the traffic pattern is easier to communicate to workers. There is no risk of speed or tipping. Fork truck/container operations usually have a bigger footprint and are heavier than a tugger or loaded cart.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/14/2018 -- Topper Industrial carts and tuggers maximize efficient use of factory space. Fork truck free programs can contribute value in areas related to the reduction of inventory, improvement of material flow, reduction of line-side handling equipment and floor space. Cart and tuggers also improve operator ergonomics, cycle efficiency, and reduce the need for coordination between forklifts and operators for replenishment of stock.

Tugger pulled industrial carts are well-suited for lean manufacturing environments, such Topper Industrial customers Anderson Windows, Detroit Diesel, Honda, Kia Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Aramark, Johnson Controls, Whirlpool, and Caterpillar. The idea behind forklift-free is replenishing material as it is used, rather than keeping excess material on the production floor. The cart operators bring parts up to the floor only when they are needed, meaning no excess inventory is stacked in aisles.

Improving the movement of products to cut costs and reduce inventories is the goal when using carts. Carts are a visual trigger for replenishment and primarily lean manufacturing. Lift trucks work better with full cases or pallets, which go against the lean mentality.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/07/2018 -- Topper Industrial's patented designs make operations more efficient, reduce noise levels, improve ergonomics, and safety. These carts are being tugged requiring less effort, as operators transport goods from warehouses to assembly lines and then to finished goods warehouses.

In the past, forklift operators were only able to transport one container of goods at a time to the production line. Once they unloaded a container, they had to return to the warehouse to refill their empty container before they could distribute products to another position on the production line.

By using a tugger and cart system, operators unload products and replace empty containers on the production line multiple times in a single pass. This approach decreases the potential for employee injuries, improves ergonomics (primarily since operators have more time to focus on other projects) and reduces noise since the tuggers and carts are often only transported to production lines once. As a result, carts are becoming more specialized, especially as their popularity continues to increase in nearly every industry that manufactures products.

Custom-built carts have driven Topper Industrial's Ed Brown to invent carts to meet the custom needs of clients such as Anderson Windows, Detroit Diesel, Honda, Kia Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Aramark, Johnson Controls, Whirlpool, and Caterpillar.

Brown holds hundreds of patents in materials handling and insists that manufacturers must be prepared for constant variations in product mix and volume. To fully optimize space for heavy or oddly shaped loads, manufacturers are increasingly purchasing custom-built carts.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/15/2017 -- Urgent and essential data is required to support fork truck free lean journey according to Topper Industrial. Recently the Wisconsin-based company shared how a global hydraulics client realized the benefits of minimalizing the number of fork trucks at their North American headquarters.

The leaders at the company were not ready to completely eliminate fork trucks, as they still provided tremendous value when going vertical with storage on the shipping docks. However, from an efficiency perspective, the lean engineer in charge of the fork truck free initiative and his team needed to sit back and identify from a 30,000-foot level, how to piece together an internal logistics system which maximized the value of each individual component. Then the team needed to answer how each component would best interface with each other to capitalize on the efficiency benefits of the complete system.

The team had to decide how and when materials were going to be delivered within the plant. There are couple different methodologies in the marketplace with each having different benefits. The Wisconsin-based company chose a Fixed Frequency Variable Quantity approach, fixing their route frequency at a specified time every hour for example. The result was generated efficiencies not only for logistics but also production.

The lean engineer and the team had to realize they didn't have enough data to get it right the first time, so they spent four-six extra months building a PFEP (Plan for Every Part) and really making sure the time invested was time well-spent. In the end, it paid off at implementation.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/09/2017 -- Off-the-shelf kitting solutions must support line-side and off-site kitting architectures. Topper Tube can be designed to create and integrate into any type of kitting solution and manufacturing process. Modular, reconfigurable kitting solutions may include picking sensors or indicators ensuring error proofing. Because tube & joint solutions can be changed or added in minutes without programming the process means eliminating downtime and improving throughput and productivity.

Modular tube & joint solutions have a favorable impact on cycle times. Manufacturing cycle time refers to the time required or spent to convert raw materials into finished goods. It is also known as throughput time. Technically, it is the length of time from the start of production to the delivery of the final products.

Manufacturing throughput time is the amount of time required for a product to pass through a manufacturing process, thereby being converted from raw materials into finished goods. The concept also applies to the processing of raw materials into a component or sub-assembly. In the business management Theory of Constraints (ToC), throughput is the rate at which a system achieves its goal. This is monetary revenue and contrasts to output, which is inventory that may be sold or stored in a warehouse.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/07/2017 -- In part one of a three-part series, Topper Industrial describes how a global hydraulics company who designs, manufactures, and markets hydrostatic transmissions, realized the benefits of minimalizing the number of fork trucks at their North American headquarters.

Topper Industrial founder, Ed Brown, showed several different industrial carts to determine what would be most lean and effective. The lean and continuous improvement engineer from the hydraulics company shared that they use about 90 different carts, seven different types of carts, including the world class Topper Mother-Daughter system pulled by tugger carts. They use some specific ergonomic applications of carts for specific lines dedicated for specific products.

The hydraulics company decided to go to the fork free route, which does not mean entirely fork truck free. The company had been working with some former Toyota management, particularly at the Georgetown plant in Kentucky. A few years ago, the former plant manager told the engineer that fork trucks were the most dangerous and inefficient pieces of equipment on the shop floor.

There was skepticism at first, they did not want to believe it. The company had fork trucks all over the plant and did not know any differently than that. As they went through a lean journey, they soon realized that there was a lot of waste in the internal logistics flow and opportunities for safety improvements.

The hydraulics company began to investigate into some OSHA (Office of Health and Safety Administration) statistics; they also looked into the National Truck Association statistics – of the 900,000 trucks that are out there, in a given year, NTSA (National Transportation Safety Administration) estimates that 11 percent of these trucks will be involved in some kind of accident on a shop floor. If the average life of a truck, according to statistics, is about eight years, there is a 90 percent chance a truck seen on the shop floor will be involved in some type of accident. Going Fork Free where possible became the obvious choice.

With the new Topper caster plate (Topper Tube Part No. 9000), the placement of the casters is moved to the outward extremities on the structure, increasing the stability and ensuring better mobility of the unit.

"The caster plate is durable and long lasting. It helps increase the life expectancy of the structure with which it is used. Users have more options when picking casters used with their small parts movement. Adding the plate to the caster is an efficient way to move parts from point A to point B without the fear of dropping, tipping, or being damaged. Now, with these durable casters and plates, warehouse operators and manufacturers do not have to worry about product damage," explained Eric Brown, Head of Research & Development at Topper Industrial.

Typical tube and joint caster placements are inward on the structure due to the construction with joints and the type of casters used. Tube and joint structures are generally made for low weight capacity and periodical movement. In the application when costly or fragile parts are needed to be moved every day in a sequence, the added plate to the caster and outward positioning of casters ensure the safe delivery of such parts.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/01/2017 -- Off-the-shelf kitting solutions must support line-side and off-site kitting architectures. Topper Tube can be designed to create and integrate into any type of kitting solution and manufacturing process. Modular, reconfigurable kitting solutions may include picking sensors or indicators ensuring error proofing. Because tube & joint solutions can be changed or added in minutes without programming the process means eliminating downtime and improving throughput and productivity.

Modular tube & joint solutions have a favorable impact on cycle times. Manufacturing cycle time refers to the time required or spent to convert raw materials into finished goods. It is also known as throughput time. Technically, it is the length of time from the start of production to the delivery of the final products.

Manufacturing throughput time is the amount of time required for a product to pass through a manufacturing process, thereby being converted from raw materials into finished goods. The concept also applies to the processing of raw materials into a component or sub-assembly. In the business management Theory of Constraints (ToC), throughput is the rate at which a system achieves its goal. This is monetary revenue and contrasts to output, which is inventory that may be sold or stored in a warehouse.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/26/2017 -- According to Topper Industrial, Fork Truck Free (FTF) manufacturers are well-served with 5S workplace organization and standardization. It instills a five-step highly disciplined housekeeping technique, providing the "how to" for a manufacturer to clean-up the typically disorganized work area and ensure the success of lean manufacturing on the shop floor.

The 5 steps include: sort through all items and remove unneeded items; set in order remaining items, set limits, create temporary location indicators; shine or clean everything and use cleaning as inspection; standardize the first 3 S's by implementing visuals displays and controls; and sustain the gains through self-discipline, training, communication, and total employee involvement.

"By reducing or eliminating fork trucks the capacity to experience and learn the basic 5S methodology is dramatically enhanced. Workers at a cellular level or across the enterprise can complete visual orders with a minimum waste of motion in the work area. The result is maximized value-added work, including point-of-use communications resulting in reduced scrap and rework," explained Eric Brown, Head of Research & Development at Topper Industrial.

Additionally, because the impetus for FTF is safety and efficient ergonomics, there is an improve quality of work life and a basis for continuous improvement. More than 50 percent of all new distribution centers have a statement requiring that all new lines will be FTF. The need for creative, innovation solutions is in direct proportion with the demands of complexity, kitting, and efficiency while increasing safety, reducing line side inventory, delivering parts accurately, and increasing quality.

Sturtevant, WI -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/30/2017 -- Fork truck free initiatives are supported by Theory of Constraints (ToC), according to Topper Industrial. The underlying premise of the Theory of Constraints is that organizations can be measured and controlled by variations on three measures: throughput, operational expense, and inventory. Inventory is all the money that the system has invested in purchasing things which it intends to sell. Operational expense is all the money the system spends in order to turn inventory into throughput. Throughput is the rate at which the system generates money through sales.

Theory of Constraints is based on the premise that the rate of goal achievement by a goal-oriented system is limited by at least one constraint. This can be identified in the excessive, often dangerous overuse of fork trucks on the manufacturing plant floor. Only by increasing flow through the constraint can overall throughput be increased.

A constraint is anything that prevents the system from achieving its goal. An external constraint exists when the system can produce more than the market will bear. If this is the case, then the organization should focus on mechanisms to create more demand for its products or services. Failure of fork trucks, safety hazards caused by fork truck and the operators, are clearly identified as constraints corrected by a rapid adoption of North American Fork Truck Free Initiatives.
