Warehouse Handling Equipment

It’s simple; it depends on what your business needs are. Different types of equipment are catered to a variety of applications and specific situations, maximizing efficiency all around. To help narrow down your search, here are the various categories of forklifts:

Order Pickers
Commonly known as stock pickers or man-up forklifts. Drivers will stand on the elevating platform along with the forks, so they will be able to rise with the forklift to select a load. Suitable for use in tight, narrow spaces.

Pallet Truck
Pallet Trucks, or more commonly known as Pallet Jack Pump Trucks, are designed to lift and move pallets.

Reach Truck
Also known as narrow-sales forklifts, they are designed to shift goods in narrow aisles and compact warehouses, racking pallets on smooth surfaces.

Tow Tractors
Mainly for towing or pulling purposes, with a driver in its seat. It is commonly used in warehouses and airports, transporting multiple trailers with goods from one location to another.

‘Very Narrow Aisle’ (VNA)
VNA, short for ‘Very Narrow Aisle’ trucks, are usually used in high-density warehouses with aisles of high ceiling clearance. Providing you with an option to incorporate more racking into your warehouse, maximising your space to store more inventory.

To help you with your decision, here are the major factors for consideration in finding the material-handling equipment that’s best suited for your need:
– What type of materials am I handling? For example, weight, size, shape and sensitivity of the goods?
– Are there any warehouse or space considerations such as ceiling height, aisle width and rack type?
– Are there any environmental or regulatory standards of the operating condition, for example, deep freezer or flammability?
