3 Reasons Your Vineyard Should Invest in New Material Handling Tools

By

Vineyard employees transport everything from crates of grapes to barrels and bottles of wine, as well as heavy equipment. The right material handling tools can streamline these daily tasks, improving efficiency, safety, and productivity. A premium 2 wheel dolly can help with miscellaneous supplies, while a powered hand truck can enable a single employee to effortlessly move loads up to 1,000 pounds. Here are a few material handling tools your vineyard needs.

Easily Handle Heavy Equipment

A battery powered hand truck can help move heavy equipment easily. It’s perfect for moving crushers, fermenters, and other wine-making equipment. It can even eliminate the need for team lifts, as a single employee can effortlessly move loads up to 1,000 pounds. The best motorized hand trucks also feature quick-change attachments, expanding the tool’s functionality.

Move Barrels Quickly and Efficiently

Winery employees have to deal with countless barrels. They’re not the easiest to move, even with a traditional hand truck, but a powered hand truck with an attachment for curved items can work wonders. While they’re typically designed for gas cylinders, they can also be used for wine barrels, allowing employees to move them where needed. Whether the barrel needs to be filled or is ready to start aging, the task is much easier with the right material handling equipment.

Move Miscellaneous Boxes of Supplies 

Your team regularly moves boxes of miscellaneous supplies and bottles. A traditional hand truck is perfect for this daily task. Employees can stack boxes of bottles on a classic 2 wheel dolly, and a single person can quickly move them to the bottle-filling station. You can even customize a hand truck cart online to ensure it has ergonomic handles and the right wheels for the vineyard production floor. To achieve greater versatility with a single tool, consider a convertible hand truck. It can function as both an upright hand truck and a platform truck in four-wheel mode, capable of handling loads of up to 1,000 pounds.
