Material handling tools like trolleys literally defined the Industrial Revolution. Imagine where we would be without a conveyor at the center of the product line. The standardization of containers for shipping goods has revolutionized the world economy. In factories and warehouses, forklifts and pellets have increased productivity tenfold or more at trolleys2go.com.au.
Despite the apparent cost and efficiency of this type of machinery, it is surprising how many businesses still fail to use their full potential. In general, the reason businesses do not use content handling tools to their full potential is because they do not properly evaluate their needs.
"We need a new forklift," says the foreman and the factory or warehouse owner agrees. But which forklift do you need? Do you need access to your current forklift or is it worth upgrading to a triple mast forklift for more reach? Sometimes, a decision like this can make a huge difference in your current and future productivity, efficiency and profit or loss.
An example of this is a small construction company with only half a dozen employees. The most expensive piece of material handling equipment in the shop is the single mast pellet jack that is used every day. The owner decides to trade it for a forklift. This is a big expense for a small company, so they decide to stick with a single mast vehicle.
Immediately after purchasing his new forklift, he feels that he needs new large machinery - a lathe. What is he going to do? Will he have to find a new place? What will it cost?
