Transporting heavy loads up or down stairs, whether for deliveries or when moving, is not only a hassle, it can prove painful and dangerous. Even when a load is successfully wrestled up or down stairs without any slips, falls, or a heavy object tumbling down a flight, the jarring bounce can do a number on anyone’s back. An injury for the average person moving furniture or appliances, jarred back or otherwise, means pain and missed work. For a delivery company, while injured delivery staff should obviously be avoided in general, it also means a loss of profit. Fortunately, there are tools, like a stair climbing cart , for instance, that can decrease or even alleviate much of that risk and a good bit of future pain. The key is determining which equipment is going to work best for the job. Acquiring the right tools can save time, save work, save misery, and increase the efficiency of the job. It’s one of those situations in which investing in the right equipment will al

Urban delivery is an entirely different animal than rural and suburban delivery. Rural and suburban delivery is about optimizing routes for the most efficient paths between individual houses, businesses, or apartment buildings. The map of a delivery itinerary can cover several dozen miles in a day. Urban delivery, meanwhile, can involve an entire day of deliveries within a couple of square miles while proving considerably more logistically difficult. Rural or suburban delivery can involve tight spaces; heavy traffic; steep, narrow staircases; finding the service entrances of huge buildings; and winding through cramped hallways and corridors with bulky packages. Urban delivery, on the other hand, is defined by days like that. Thankfully, there are tools that can help the process be smoothed out a bit. Dealing with Stairs There’s nothing like backing a delivery truck into box- and dumpster-crammed alley before attempting to ease a full keg down a constricted stai

Hand trucks are a lifesaver in the world of material handling, from moving boxes or paving stones around the home and garden to commercial transport of stock around a warehouse. However, a time comes when the work that needs to be done is sufficient to justify replacing the standard hand truck with something a little more powerful (or simply adding to your arsenal of hand truck appliances). There also comes a time when failing to upgrade your hand truck means a net loss of time, effort, efficiency, and energy. Sometimes it can even mean risking injury. The upgrade being referred to is powered hand trucks. Those that serve the same purpose as the traditional models, but include motorized components to increase the efficacy of a specific function. Knowing whether or not it’s time to upgrade depends on the type of work you’re doing and how much you do it. Stair-Based Moving and Delivery Stairs are arguably the most troublesome, tricky, time-consuming, and even dange

Having the right equipment in a moving truck (and using it) is a necessity for both professional movers and amateurs who’ve rented a truck or are equipping the one they own. The appropriate use of the following tools, having protective equipment for the movers and their goods, and the rest of the mover’s gear should make the process of moving a bit more painless. General Lifting The equipment needed for lifting heavy things are obviously essential for a moving truck. One of the most basic, but most helpful, is the hand truck. A single person can use one to move smaller appliances and furniture or a stack of heavy boxes. They cut down moving time and lessen the chances of strained backs or drop-damaged microwaves. Basic moving straps are surprisingly effective at allowing two people who aren’t bodybuilders to lift things bigger and heavier than they would have guessed. However, knowing limits is extremely important. That includes both the limits of the people doing

An argument could be made that whatever sort of abode you’re moving from, moving is moving. You pack your stuff up, use a traditional hand truck to load up the trailer or truck, unpack it in the new place, and you’re done. Always a time-consuming hassle, but basically the same thing whether you’re moving out of a house or apartment, right? Not exactly. There are some definite differences between moving out of an apartment and a house. Recognizing those differences and taking them into account can mean the difference between a successful move and a miserable, and even injury-risking, disaster. Finishing Up the Apartment Move-Out Necessities One of the primary differences between moving out of a house and an apartment is that it’s a near-certainty that the apartment is arental. So, in addition to giving your notice (of course), be sure to tie off all the details necessary when moving out of a rental, such as: · Turn in all keys, including your mail key · Make su
