These carry pallet-sized loads horizontally on long forks. They're more affordable and easier to maneuver than forklifts, though they can't carry as heavy of loads. Some pallet jacks require OSHA training & certification to operate. Operators can use pallet jacks to raise materials from a few inches off the ground to several feet.

The flat deck of a wheeled platform truck allows easy transport of bulky objects, several differently sized objects, as well as large loads. Deck material options are available that include steel, aluminum, plastic, and wood to suit the application, while a wide, cross-braced handle provides leverage. Work-height deck options are also available.

Motorized tug vehicles are designed to help reduce the strain of pushing and pulling large loads. They can be used to pull multiple trailers or carts simultaneously, affording increased efficiency by moving a large amount of material with minimal effort from your team.

These upright movers are designed for smaller loads than pallet jacks typically carry. The base of a hand truck is shorter than a pallet jack; it sits upright and transports material on a small base plate. Need to move products up stairways? There's a hand truck for that, too.

A standby for moving lighter objects or loads made up of many small components, industrial carts can be used for a wide range of functions. Consider specialized models for mail delivery, transporting janitorial supplies, and relocating inventory, among other unique uses.

Designed to hold palletized material, these durable, heavy-gauge steel systems can be adjusted based on the size of materials you're storing. Uprights and beams provide the height and width of the assembly, while decking, cross bars, and dividers offer additional stability and support for a variety of pallets, boxes, and storage bins and containers.

Store boxes, bins, and standalone goods on shelving or in cabinets. Open units afford easy access and visibility while closed units add security. Think strategically when choosing shelves: Wire shelves offer airflow, while solid shelves can contain spills and help keep items upright. High density storage units save on space and allow for faster and more accurate order picking.

Storage systems are often incomplete without an additional layer of containment. Not only does this help with organization, it enables pickers and other team members to easily find what they need. Storing goods in bins, totes, and containers also can protect products from environmental damage, loss, and contain spills or breakage.

Proper labeling of shelves is critical for efficient and accurate picking. Ensure labels are applied consistently across the facility, and that they are placed in the same spot on each unit of storage. Remove or sufficiently cover old labels to avoid confusion and scanning errors.
