Support Your Delivery Teams with These 3 Tools

By

On any given day, delivery teams handle a wide range of items, from small, stackable parcels to large, bulky goods. Professional delivery teams handle many jobs with relative ease, but complex deliveries can become challenging fast.

To better handle complex deliveries, more delivery companies are investing in advanced material handling tools. These hand truck carts are designed to handle complex deliveries with the same level of care and professionalism as simpler jobs. 

What do these material handling tools look like? Here are three examples. 

The Powered Stair Climbing Hand Truck Gives Delivery Drivers Real Leverage 

Deliveries that require personnel to traverse stairs are higher risk than others. Maximizing leverage and control is essential. A manual hand truck offers leverage, but that leverage may become much more limited when moving loads up and down stairs.

A powered stair climbing dolly is designed to “take over” when it comes to going up or down stairs. The operator engages the onboard controls, and the hand truck does the rest. Powered stair climbing dollies handle a wide range of load types and weights, with heavy duty options made to move upwards of 725-pound loads. 

The Heavy Duty Motorized Hand Truck Moves Loads with Confidence

Another material handling tool designed for more complex deliveries is the motorized hand truck. This hand truck with powered propulsion is made to move complicated loads with greater ease on flat surfaces and minor inclines.

The advantage of this tool is that it can move up to 1,000 pounds on flat surfaces (and up to 850 pounds on ramps and inclines) with less manual effort from the operator. The motorized system does most of the work. This reduces worker strain and increases safety during complex deliveries. Keep in mind that your truck must have a powered liftgate to bring this tool along for deliveries due to its weight.

The Heavy Duty Appliance Hand Truck Is Made for Stability 

Few deliveries are as complex as large appliances and furniture. Moving these items from the truck to the drop-off point is challenging. If the drop-off point is inside a residential home, drivers often have no idea what to expect until they’re inside.

A heavy duty appliance hand truck can come loaded with features, including hand brakes, self-retracting ratchet straps, highly ergonomic handles, and drop-down fourth-wheel attachments that give delivery personnel the control they need for challenging delivery scenarios.
