How Specialized Material Handling Tools Can Help Wine Tasting Rooms

By

Are you opening a tasting room in your winery? The right equipment can help streamline tasks and improve operational efficiency.

Protect Wine Bottles and Delicate Items

From wine bottles to glasses, tasting rooms handle fragile items daily. Dropping a box of wine bottles, which are heavy on their own, can be incredibly costly for your business. With a hand dolly, it’s easy to move boxes of wine bottles and glasses. Find a manufacturer that lets you customize a hand truck with pneumatic wheels so you can get the ultimate in shock absorption, further reducing the risk of broken wine glasses and bottles.

Efficiently Move Heavy Barrels

Barrels of wine are, to put it simply, heavy. The barrel itself isn’t light, but a full barrel weighs several hundred pounds. Unfortunately, moving a barrel with a forklift into the tasting room probably isn’t a viable idea. A heavy duty aluminum hand truck, however, enables a single tasting room employee to wheel a barrel in for a barrel release party. Equipping your hand truck with side wings and a self-retracting ratchet strap can help keep the barrel on the dolly. For smaller barrels, consider a powered keg lifting hand truck.

Streamline Restocking Operations

Along with the wine, your team will need to move a variety of other items, including napkins, table settings, snacks, and more. The classic hand truck can do the job, moving boxes of wine shipped from the vineyard. But for extra versatility, consider equipping them with a convertible hand truck. It can function as a two-wheel dolly, as well as a platform cart in four-wheel mode. This provides more platform space and an enhanced weight capacity of 1,000 pounds. This tool helps your team be more efficient, so they can focus on providing the best possible service to customers.
