Improving Efficiency in the Warehouse
Upgrading material handling equipment doesn’t necessarily mean going bigger. A perfect example is the efficiency improvement that can be achieved by incorporating hand lift trucks into a warehouse’s material handling fleet. The hand lift truck can effectively replace the forklift for a variety of tasks. That means less vehicle traffic and no licensing or extensive training is necessary for warehouse staff to operate hand lift trucks.
Delivering Large Loads to Customers’ Cars
One formidable challenge for back of store warehouses is the rise in curbside pickup. A steady flow of scheduled orders going out to customers’ vehicles can be difficult to maintain alongside regular in-store purchasing. For furniture, appliances, electronics, safes, and similarly bulky and heavy purchases, sometimes traditional hand trucks aren’t efficient. In fact, using insufficient material handling equipment can even prove dangerous. Instead, invest in a motorized hand truck fleet to streamline curbside service workflow when heavy items are involved. Across level surfaces, motorized hand trucks are extremely fast and reliable. They will allow employees to efficiently transport large and heavy products to vehicles, improving your store’s level of service in a way that also prioritizes safety.
Delivering the Final Mile
Final mile delivery can prove even more demanding than deliveries to customers’ cars. Of course, that is particularly true when it comes to heavy purchases. Unfortunately, the use of motorized hand trucks is not a practical solution for final mile delivery. A far better solution for effectively equipping delivery staff with the right material handling gear is investing in a heavy duty hand truck, aka an appliance hand truck fleet. Appliance hand trucks are specially engineered to safely and efficiently move larger loads. They are built to carry more weight than traditional hand trucks and are equipped with a strap to secure loads. For increased stability, it’s worthwhile to outfit appliance hand trucks with fourth wheel stabilization.
Delivering White Glove Service
White glove delivery service includes all of the challenges that accompany final mile delivery and then some. White glove delivery involves bringing the goods inside the customer’s home or business and, sometimes, physically installing or setting those goods up. If the items need to be installed in rooms up or down stairs, delivery drivers will need additional equipment. Stair climbing dollies can make otherwise difficult deliveries a snap by making it much safer to navigate stairs with heavy loads.
With these material handling solutions, your employees and business will be ready for the summer rush.
