How Can You Create a More Professional Delivery Experience?

By



When your employees make a delivery, especially white-glove deliveries, you want them to present a professional appearance. Whether they’re using a lightweight 2 wheel dolly for smoother movements or eliminating awkward team lifts, looking the part is often about making the job appear easy, clean, and effortless. Here are a few tips to elevate the delivery experience for both your crew and customers.

Improve Movements

Carrying a box by hand can be awkward and look unprofessional. It’s not efficient and introduces unnecessary risk. Instead, utilize a hand truck, even if your crew member thinks they can carry the item by hand. Before entering the home, ensure the route to the final delivery area is clear. If necessary, put down a carpet or floor protector. After that, stack multiple boxes on an aluminum hand truck dolly and quickly wheel them into place.

Eliminate Awkward Team Lifts

In a similar vein, team lifts can often come across as unprofessional. They can be awkward, with plenty of yelling about directions and near slips, even when crews use lifting straps. A team lift can also tie up two or more employees to carry a single item. With an appliance hand truck, however, a single white-glove delivery agent can handle the job. Find an appliance hand truck with side wings and a self-retracting ratchet strap, and it's much easier to move large items like couches, refrigerators, or anything else weighing up to 800 pounds.

The Right Tools Reduce Operator Effort

Do your employees struggle to deliver TVs or medical supplies up or down sets of stairs? The right tool can help reduce their effort, allowing them to stay productive throughout the entire shift. A powered stair climbing dolly can make the task far less of a struggle. The easier the work looks, the more professional your crew will appear to clients.
