All Good Businesses Need A Lift From Time To Time
When a business is looking to grow, it has to consider not only how it will do so outwards by way of expanding its floor space - but upwards too
. Eventually, every company runs out of storage space at ground level where it can place products, either for display, or simply to store them until they are needed. And when it gets to this stage, as the song title used to say, the only way is up.However, there are many things to consider before deciding how to address this conundrum. How heavy are the products which will be stored above ground level? How large are they? Can they be safely accessed by any member of staff who is allowed to do so, without them putting themselves or colleagues in any danger?
Before the time comes when the answer to any of these questions is no, a business should investigate the numerous options open to it for ensuring safe access to any items which they will be required to handle.
For moving items along the level which are too heavy or too large to be moved by hand, a pallet truck can be a wise investment. Many goods come pre-packed onto pallets as this is a good way of safely storing items which can be stacked vertically. It helps save space, and the pallets can be moved around as required.
Pallet trucks come in several different sizes, and can be hand or electrically-powered. Their minimalistic yet sturdy construction makes them ideal for moving pallets stacked with most items. However, it is important to take heed of any maximum weight limit for a particular model of pallet truck, as exceeding this can damage the wheels or the lifting or steering mechanisms.
Some pallet trucks have built-in weighing mechanisms, which are very useful when it is important to ensure that the maximum recommended load size for a particular shelf or storage area is not exceeded. But a pallet truck might not be the ideal means of moving some products. In these instances there may be a more specialised means of getting the job done, such as a board carrier, DIY trolley, barrow or container truck.
Any of these pieces of machinery are designed to do a specific job, and are available in a variety of sizes and payloads to help ensure that all product movements can be undertaken efficiently and, most importantly, safely.
