The Equipment You Need to Implement Customer Curbside Pickup

By
Across the country, curbside pickup has gained more traction than ever as a safe and convenient option for a business’s customers and employees alike. To make curbside pickup as efficient as possible, a business should make sure employees are well-equipped to serve customers in this new way. That is particularly true for moving larger stock like appliances, big-screen TVs, and HVAC equipment. Investing in a powered or motorized hand truck selection or even a convertible hand truck can make curbside pickup easier, safer, and more efficient.

 Why You Need Material Handling Equipment

 Having the right material handling equipment is important for several reasons. One of the most important being that it simply makes the process easier for employees. Moving heavy loads without the proper equipment can prove tough, frustrating. Having the right equipment can also save a good deal of time and effort, which can improve productivity and allow you to serve more customers. It can also be safer for both people and the stock involved. Lifting too much not only increases the risk of strains but can also result in stock being dropped and damaged.

 Traditional and Convertible Hand Trucks

 The traditional and convertible hand trucks are the workhorses of the material handling world. They’re great for moving pretty much anything that will safely fit on them quickly and efficiently. The convertible hand truck is one that can either be used in the traditional vertical position or a horizontal position. The horizontal configuration provides more platform area and a higher weight capacity, making for a more versatile material handling solution.

 Motorized and Powered Hand Trucks

 Motorized and powered hand trucks fill an important niche in the material handling world. A powered hand truck allows people to more safely and easily move large, heavy items that are too much for a traditional or even a heavy-duty hand truck. They’re excellent for both moving stock in a store’s warehouse and for curbside loading of big-ticket orders. Powered hand trucks neatly fill the gap between manual tools and vehicles.

 Platform Trucks

 When an order requires more platform space than even a convertible hand truck offers, platform trucks are a great solution. A platform hand truck can prove useful when a customer has ordered several larger items. They’re also ideal for delivering several orders to different customers’ cars at one time. Combining several orders for one trip or being able to deliver large orders in one trip can save a good deal of time.
