Is Your Current Pallet Truck Keeping Up With Your Facility's Demands?

If your operation has expanded since you purchased your material handling equipment, it's a question you should consider asking. When your floor receives a heavier load and increased throughput, what worked well for lighter loads and slower throughput can quickly become a problem — or a safety issue. Equipment operating beyond maximum specifications. Wear accelerates. Things are bound to go wrong on the worst possible days. The price of such a mismatch is not cheap.

The solution isn't working around inadequate equipment. It is going to be replaced by something that was made for the purpose.

At Superlift Material Handling, they specialize in the ideal material handling solution for facilities across an industry, one that addresses their actual operational needs, versus only the minimum requirements five years ago.

What Makes a 6,000 lb Pallet Truck the Right Call for Many Facilities

It's no surprise that heavy-duty pallet trucks are becoming more common on serious industrial floors. When transporting heavy raw materials, heavy manufactured items, large packaged products or full industrial pallets, standard capacity equipment isn't up to the task.

Here's what facilities gain when they make the upgrade:

• Consistent performance under real load conditions — There is a big difference between that which can handle a load and that which can do so under actual conditions and perform the load consistently shift after shift with little wear or degradation in performance. The latter is provided by a purpose-built heavy duty pallet truck, so that your team can count on it when handling the loads they use on a daily basis.

• Reduced risk of equipment failure and workplace injury — One of the most frequent and common causes of equipment failure and workplace injury on facility floors is overloaded or under-spec equipment. When equipment is matched to the actual load requirements, there is no risk, which helps keep team members safe and operations on track without unnecessary downtime.

Superlift Material Handling provides pallet truck solutions in a wide range of capacities, all designed to offer performance under the most demanding conditions, up to 100,000 lbs. Their industrial 6000 lb pallet truck options are engineered with the same commitment to durability and reliability that runs through their entire product line.

Getting the Right Equipment Requires More Than Checking a Capacity Number

Capacity is important, but not the only factor. The model that is the best choice for your facility depends on load dimensions, floor conditions, aisle configurations and frequency of use.

This is where Superlift Material Handling really differentiates itself from just looking at a product catalog online. Their application specialists work closely with you to comprehend your floor, your loads and your workflow and then match you with a solution that will perform in the real world, not in the specification sheets.

The Right Pallet Truck Makes the Whole Floor Run Better

If the equipment you use is truly your match for the job, the productivity, safety, equipment longevity and team morale all improve. One of those types of investments that has a rapid return on investment, and continues to pay returns.
