5 Ways Catering Companies Can Make Good Use of Hand Trucks

By

Catering companies have a lot to deal with, especially during bigger events. It’s not just food; it’s the tables, tablecloths, utensils, and other supplies that go along with the event. The right moving equipment can make setting up and delivering these supplies much easier, even if stairs are involved. From hand trucks to motorized dollies, having the right tools can make any catering job easier and more efficient.


Pack Delivery Trucks

If your catering company offers more than just food, then the start of the job is packing any equipment you might need. This could be tables, chairs, heating dishes, and plenty of other supplies. The easiest way to pack the delivery truck is with a motorized hand truck. It can move larger items like tables across warehouses and into waiting trucks, making it much easier to get everything ready for the job. If it weighs 1,000 pounds or less and can fit on the noseplate, the motorized hand truck can handle it.

 Quickly Set Up Each Event

Once at the job site, a heavy duty hand truck can move those same tables into place quickly and efficiently. Instead of taking two or more people to set up tables, a heavy duty hand truck can enable a single person to move a stack of chairs or tables without the need for a team lift. They can also be used to move appliances around a kitchen or anything weighing up to 800 pounds.

 Safely Bring in Food

Delivering catered food means ensuring that the food arrives from the kitchen to the destination safely. One of the best tools for this is the convertible hand truck. It can function as a traditional dolly or a platform cart in four-wheel mode, perfect for moving larger items like cakes or trays of food. It’s ideal over a relatively level surface and can handle oddly shaped items or boxes that won’t fit on an upright hand truck. Plus, it has an increased weight capacity of 1,000 pounds in four-wheel mode.

Easily Move Boxes of Supplies

You can also move boxes of supplies quickly and efficiently with a traditional hand truck, from boxes of utensils to folded tablecloths, chafing dishes, and plates. Instead of carrying a single box of supplies at a time, you can wheel them into place quickly and efficiently. This can be important if you need to keep items cold and need to move them to ice as soon as possible.

Tackle Stairs with Ease

Catering an event on the second floor but there’s no elevator available? Make an otherwise hard task simple with a powered stair climbing dolly. It does most of the work for you, so you can focus on staying in an ergonomic position. Instead of multiple trips, stack multiple boxes and get them in place, saving time and energy, making setup easier once the boxes are in place.
