Hand Lift Trucks and Other Powered Material Handling Upgrades to Improve Product

Posted by Magliner on February 27th, 2020

Improved productivity is hugely beneficial for any business and its bottom line. More work being done in less time means better use of resources, making it an essential priority for any company. One very effective way to increase productivity is to upgrade the equipment the staff is working with. Upgrading from traditional to powered material handling tools, for instance, can not only save time but can also increase the retention of staff involved in moving inventory. If upgrading from a traditional hand cart to a stair climbing cart translates into lower delivery times, improved efficiency, and increased retention, it’s well worth the investment.

Grocery and C-Store Stock and Warehouse

Drivers and management at direct store delivery (DSD) and product distribution companies often feel as though they’re fighting an uphill battle. SKU proliferation seems to be skyrocketing as product demand at both grocery and convenience stores (C-stores) increases. Upgrading the material handling tools employees use by purchasing powered hand trucks or lift hand trucks can make an incredible difference. Something like the Magliner CooLift Delivery System can significantly increase productivity compared to traditional hand trucks in the warehouse and at the point of delivery.

Rental Delivery

Rental delivery is often defined by a great variety of stock being delivered to a great diversity of locations. Rental equipment is often large, heavy, and unwieldy. Moving physically demanding equipment is challenging under any circumstances, but it becomes more dangerous and time-consuming when navigating stairs. Transitioning from a traditional hand truck to a motorized hand truck or a stair climbing dolly can improve the delivery dynamic in a number of ways. It can certainly increase efficiency and productivity. It can also improve safety and increase retention among staff, as they no longer have to wrestle heavy equipment up and down stairs without powered assistance.

Furniture and Appliance Delivery

It’s a rare delivery situation that won’t see furniture and delivery pickers and drivers moving and lifting heavy loads, both in the warehouse and on a delivery job. While an appliance hand truck is a great improvement over a traditional hand truck for that sort of work, a powered hand truck or hand lift truck can be great boons in the warehouse for picking from height and moving items to the loading dock. Once again, a stair climbing cart can save time, improve retention, and increase safety at the delivery site. Using a powered hand truck or hand lift truck in the warehouse or on-site at the business can do the same for the staff there. Basically, if there’s a job in which upgrading to a powered hand truck or a hand lift truck will help, it’s worth making the switch.
