The Material Handling Improvements You May Not Have Considered for Your Warehous

Posted by Magliner on April 10th, 2021

Material handling is one of the primary functions of a warehouse and needs to be handled efficiently. When you’re buried in day-to-day management duties to meet orders on time, it might seem like your current equipment works just fine. With a step back, you might find that upgrading that equipment can significantly improve both the efficiency and safety of the warehouse’s operations. You might not have considered these pieces of equipment, but it’s worth taking the time to update your existing fleet.

Appliance Hand Truck – For the Big Stuff

The traditional dolly or hand truck is the workhorse of the material handling industry. The appliance hand truck is like a draft horse by comparison. Appliance hand trucks are built to safely accommodate more weight and move it more safely than traditional hand trucks. They feature straps to help secure loads and can be fitted with fourth wheel stabilizing attachments to further increase safety and reliability for the big jobs.

Powered Hand Truck – For the Heaviest and Most Specialized Jobs

The powered hand truck allows employees to complete specialized tasks and move the heaviest cargo. The hand trucks feature motorized propulsion with variable speeds and quick attach accessories. With options such as a trailer hitch and tent pole pusher, powered hand trucks can significantly reduce the labor required for moving heavy loads and can do a whole lot more.

Convertible Hand Truck – For More Versatility

The traditional hand truck is an invaluable tool for moving anything that can be reasonably stacked on its nose. However, not everything fits well on a hand truck’s nose. Enter the convertible hand truck. Convertible hand trucks can be operated in both the traditional vertical configuration of the classic hand truck, and a horizontal configuration. That horizontal configuration provides far more surface area for transporting cargo that isn’t well-suited for traditional dollies.

Customizable Hand Trucks – For Whatever You Need

Every warehouse is a unique and dynamic environment with specific challenges and requirements. To respond to each work environment’s needs, look for material handling equipment that you can customize. That way you can design exactly the equipment to benefit your employees most. There are too many possible combinations to list here; Magliner hand trucks, for instance, can be customized in over 4 million combinations. However, customization options include frames, handles, wheels, noses, and considerably more.

Improving your warehouse’s material handling capability can prove to be one of the most effective strategies for improving efficiency, saving time, and contributing to employee safety. Upgrade your warehouse’s material handling fleet today.
