CUSTOMER SPOTLIGHT

Scott Brooks oversees Sales & Purchasing for Jefferson Southern Corporation, a 260,000 sq.ft. facility in Rockmart Georgia that manufactures car parts for a major auto manufacturer. What keeps them competitive is a Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory system and a fleet of 13 Komatsu lift trucks. The fleet consists of 3,000-10,000 lb. LP units serving a two shift (15 hour) production schedule. Scott researched the top manufacturers from all angles and used an internal QCD (Quality, Costs, and Delivery) rating system before making his decision to go with Komatsu. Scott also prefers a single-source solution for all of his parts and service needs, so he can remain focused on his business. Therefore, he depends on his relationship with the dealer to be a key factor in the success and overall health of his fleet. Scott knows a good preventative maintenance program will keep his fleet productive and up and running over the lifetime of the trucks. Komatsu Forklift of Atlanta provides that maintenance and the support needed for smooth operation.

Jefferson Southern forklift operators preferred the Komatsu forklift over all the competitors models for performance, visibility, comfort, and ease of operation. Scott was also impressed with the dependability as well as affordability of the costs of operation.
