Problem: Packages Are Too Heavy
Solution: Traditional Hand Truck
The problem with packages that are too heavy isn’t necessarily that they’re simply too heavy to move altogether. More often, the risk with heavy packages is that they’re too heavy to move safely or too heavy to move efficiently. When delivery professionals attempt to move packages that are too heavy, they risk injury and they risk slowing down the process because they’re moving more slowly to accommodate heavier packages. Instead, delivery personnel should always rely on the delivery professional’s best friend—the famous 2 wheel dolly or traditional hand truck. When in doubt, defer to the dolly.
Problem: Navigating Staircases
Solution: Powered Stair Climbing Dolly
Staircases represent one of the most common and challenging features of a delivery route. Just like too-heavy packages, attempting to move packages up and down staircases can present both the risk of injury and a reduction of efficiency. In addition to the risk of possible injury from slipping or falling on the stairs, it can also result in damage to items. If staircases are a common obstacle on delivery routes, the best response is employing a powered stair climbing dolly. Powered stair climbing dollies are specifically engineered to safely and easily move items up and down sets of stairs.
Problem: Delivery Speed Too Slow
Solution: Convertible Hand Truck
If delivery routes are taking too long to cover, it can hurt productivity and result in unsatisfied customers. One fairly common cause of lost efficiency on deliveries is a variety of delivery item sizes and types requiring multiple trips from a delivery vehicle to the delivery location. While the hand truck is an undeniably essential tool for delivery personnel, the items being delivered may call for a material handling solution beyond the traditional hand truck platform. When that’s the case, an excellent solution is a convertible hand truck. A convertible hand truck, also known as a collapsible hand truck, operates in both the traditional vertical position and a horizontal position, the latter providing more platform space. It’s an efficient and effective way to move items of different sizes, shapes, and types.
