Pallet Trucks
Does your warehouse operate as smoothly as it could be operating? When there are shipments that come into it and go out of it, does it take several employees to handle the task? If so, you need to invest in Pallet Trucks. These machines are so incredibly valuable because they are like a more accessible forklift. No one would ever try to run a warehouse without a forklift, and a pallet truck is like a smaller, less expensive, more accessible forklift. Essentially anyone can use them, and because they are so affordable it is easy to get several of them.
Types of Pallet Stackers
There are two main types of pallet stackers – electric and manual. Electric are also called electric motor driven pallet stackers or forklifts. Electric pallet stackers use an electro-hydraulic system to lift and a manual relief-valve to lower loads. Non-electric are propelled or dragged using the operator’s muscle power. For this reason, it is generally recommended that an operator not move more than ten pallets a day and only operate a manual stacker on a smooth floor. If the conditions are not smooth or a greater quantity of pallets needs to be moved then it is recommended that an electric pallet stacker is used to ensure the safety of the operator.
