3 Material Management Tools Race Organizers Need to Set Up a Fun Run

By

From helping nonprofits organize charity fun runs to facilitating competitive marathons, triathlons, or biking events, race management is a busy industry. Whether your race management company works with small community events or organizes famous, city-wide marathons, you know that there are many factors to consider when organizing and setting up these events.

Powered Hand Truck

Races are a time-sensitive ordeal—and not just for the athletes. To set your event coordination company apart from the competition and provide reliable, organized events, provide your team with these three essential material management tools.

Electric Dolly

Athletes are not the only people who need to move quickly on race day. Most fun runs and recreational races take place in public areas, such as city streets and community walking paths, so it's essential that your team efficiently sets up and tears down booths, sound system equipment, and distance markers.

To keep your team moving, provide a powered hand truck with a variable speed propulsion of 4.3 miles per hour. Although efficiency is important, safety is essential, so choose a model with innovative safety features, such as a parking brake that engages automatically when the throttle is disengaged. This will allow them to move up to 1,000 pounds quickly and safely across virtually any terrain.

Classic Dolly

Organizing a fun run involves more than simply designating a course for athletes to follow. You likely offer some sort of refreshment at the finish line and provide T-shirts, souvenir medals, and race bibs. All of these items need to be transported throughout the start and finish locations of your race.

To keep your staff safe and your event on schedule, provide your team with a 2 wheel dolly equipped with durable pneumatic wheels. While a dolly is a standard piece of equipment for any event management company, the proper customizable features can turn a traditional dolly into a valuable, time-saving asset. This piece of equipment can help your team move up to 500 pounds of materials with relative ease, while pneumatic wheels will ensure your dolly can traverse indoor or outdoor terrain smoothly and efficiently.

Heavy-Duty Hand Truck

As with any large public gathering, recreational and competitive races require a reliable sound system to get everyone’s attention and convey essential information. Setting up a stage, sound system, and speaker equipment is important for everything from announcing the names of athletes as they cross the finish line to allowing speakers to address the crowd before the start of the race.

To move this heavy equipment to and from the race venue, use an appliance hand truck with an impressive weight capacity of 800 pounds. To get the most mileage out of your company’s equipment, choose a heavy-duty hand truck with an innovative modular design that makes repairs and regular maintenance easy.

With the help of these three essential material management tools, your company can organize races that are efficient, safe, and—of course—fun!
