Hand Trucks to Deliver Supplies and Restock
The most obvious use for material handling equipment when servicing a vending machine is in restocking machines. Hand trucks make it easy to stack boxes of snacks or cases of beverages to move from the truck to the machine. Your delivery drivers can easily move multiple items at a time, stacking them on the hand truck, and not worry about tripping and losing any of the shipment. This makes their job quicker and more efficient, with less time spent moving items to the vending machine.
Convertible Hand Trucks for Odd-Shaped Boxes
For oddly-shaped boxes, cases or totes, try using convertible hand trucks. These transform from a typical upright hand truck into a horizontal platform. This gives more room for wider, larger boxes or specialty items that need to be stocked. This offers versatility for your drivers if they have items to restock that are out of the ordinary. They can also use the horizontal position to stack more boxes and cases if they have a relatively flat surface to travel over to get to the vending machine.
A Heavy Duty Hand Truck to Move Vending Machines
When it comes time to move a vending machine, whether it is installing or taking it back in for repairs, a heavy duty hand truck will be the perfect tool for the job. Instead of needing to use multiple people to do a team lift, a heavy duty hand truck enables a single person to move an entire vending machine by themselves. Wings for wider vending machines and a ratchet strap for securing the vending machine to the heavy duty hand truck are both options you might find. When only a single person is needed to move vending machines, you can use the extra hands elsewhere, such as stocking other machines, getting more work done at once.
A Hand Lift Truck for Repairs
Speaking of repairs, a hand lift truck can help by giving easier access to your tools. While normally used to raise and lower items, some hand lift trucks come with a workbench attachment, making it easy to raise and lower the workbench’s height. This provides easier access to tools and parts that you might need while repairing a vending machine. A hand lift truck can also be useful when positioning vending machines, coffee makers, microwaves and other appliances onto countertops in restaurants, convenience stores, cantinas, and other establishments.
