Whether you are gearing up for the holidays or just want to make upgrades for the new year, your warehouse can easily expand its material handling capabilities. From adding or upgrading a 2 wheel dolly to your employees’ inventory to a powered hand truck for moving large items across the warehouse floor, here are some of the material handling tools you might want in your warehouse.
Hand Trucks to Move Boxes
Hand trucks are perfect for moving multiple boxes at once or anything up to 500 pounds. This can make a warehouse worker far more efficient than moving just one or two boxes at a time. They can also do it faster and with less risk of injury. This ensures the box and its contents stay safe while the employee can be more efficient. Some companies let you customize your hand truck fleet, which can be handy if your warehouse also offers delivery services. You can choose the right wheels, ergonomic handles, and other options thanks to the modular design. The modular design also allows you to upgrade your hand truck even after purchase since the parts are easy to swap out.
Convertible Hand Trucks for Versatility
Convertible hand trucks can help your team move more with less thanks to their versatile design. These start as classic upright hand trucks but can quickly transform into horizontal platform trucks in four-wheel mode. This makes them versatile and can easily adapt to the job at hand. If your warehouse workers need to move a lot of boxes or oddly shaped items at once, the convertible hand truck might just fit the bill. The best part is they can handle loads up to 1,000 pounds in four-wheel mode.
Appliance Hand Trucks for Bulky Items
Eliminating the need for a team lift can free up an employee for other tasks. That’s why every warehouse needs at least one appliance dolly or heavy duty hand truck. It can help a single employee move a large or heavy object short distances in the warehouse. The best ones allow employees to move up to 800 pounds with minimal strain. Optional accessories such as a ratchet strap and side wings make the job even easier. If you are looking for a way to make your employees more productive when moving large items, you want an appliance hand truck.
A Hand Lift Truck to Replace Forklift Trucks
The hand lift truck can help employees restock the warehouse with ease. Rather than bending down and getting items out of boxes, they can lift the box up to their level with the hand lift truck. They can also slide items off the hand lift truck and onto racks. Hand lift trucks can replace forklifts, especially in smaller warehouses as they can handle loads up to 350 pounds with the electric screw drive action. Workers don’t need a license to operate this equipment and they take up a much smaller footprint while doing virtually the same job.
Motorized Hand Trucks for Loading Large Items Onto Delivery Trucks
Moving larger objects across the entire warehouse floor can be quite a task, especially in a larger warehouse. A motorized hand truck makes that task easy. It does most of the work for your employee. All they need to do is get the item on the motorized hand truck, and the hard part is over. The motorized transaxle locks the wheels in place, making the break-back function, much easier. The best ones are capable of moving up to 1,000 pounds.
