If you need material handling equipment, but don’t have a fortune to spend on the many high priced retail alternatives, you will want to think about wholesale purchasing to suit your needs. Wholesale material handling equipment will give you better selection and cheaper prices on what you need, and with Douglas Equipment we have the know-how to help you find the right equipment to suit your unique needs without breaking the bank. Here is why you should turn to our experienced team for your needs.
- Selection and Price: Two Main Benefits of Wholesale Purchasing
By not having to worry about what can sell quickly on a retail showroom floor, we can give you access to everything that is available in all of the catalogs for all of the manufacturers that we have partnerships with. This way, we can increase the selection available to you without having to boost the cost. So by having a larger selection, you will have a better chance of finding the right piece of material handling equipment to meet your unique requirements.
Since we do an excessive amount of business with the manufacturers, we can get a much better price than you would by calling direct. Douglas Equipment does not have the expenses that are required for a retail shop, so we can pass along these savings to insure that our customers aren’t paying more than what is absolutely necessary. The biggest benefit is having the advice of specially trained service professionals, which won’t cost you anything.
- Selection of Products from Many Manufacturers
Because we deal with many different material handling equipment manufacturers, we have access to different types of equipment. This allows us to have the right piece of equipment delivered when and where you need it, and with all of the different types of equipment available in our industry this is a big benefit!
Hand trucks can be one of the most useful pieces of small material handling equipment around. Useful for smaller loads, or even tall and heavy object like appliances, these easy to store pieces of equipment are indispensable for such tasks as loading and unloading a truck.
- Economy Steel Folding Handle Truck: This hand truck has a steel frame with a large folding handle so that you can easily store it away when not in use. Dimensions are 32.5” in height, 23” in width, and 35” in depth with a capacity of 400 lbs. (15.14 cubic feet). This model has size 5 thermoplastic rubber casters and weighs 40.8 lbs.
Fork Stackers make it easy to lift heavy palette loads onto and off shelves, place into working position, or onto a truck. By being smaller than a forklift, these powerful units can move loads around in a much smaller area than can be done with a larger forklift truck. They are also less expensive. If these are suitable for your needs, they can save you time, space, and money.
- Powered Telescoping Fork Stacker: With this stacker it becomes easy to lift heavy loads from the floor and onto shelving, even shelves over 10 feet. This steel framed model has dimensions of87.5” in height, 48” in width, and 68” in depth with a capacity of 2,000 lbs. The stacker incorporates 8” Nylon rear drive wheels and 6” Nylon casters in front and weighs 1,230 lbs.
Pallet trucks are ideal for moving loaded pallets around at ground level if you don’t need to raise them into the air. If you have a dock where you are unloading trucks without the use of a ramp, these can make the loading and unloading process both fast and efficient.
- Semi-Electric Pallet Truck: This sturdy pallet truck incorporates a steel frame and electric motor that propels the pallet truck when moving, with the operator walking behind. The unit still relies on a manual hydraulic pump to raise the loaded pallet on the forks. Dimensions are 48.5” in height, 27” in width, 65.75” in depth with a capacity of 2,200 lbs. The unit itself has 10” polyurethane steering wheels and weighs 397 lbs.
Dollies are ideal if you need to put a device under a larger container, like a box, and then move the container around without having parts of the material handling equipment sticking out of the sides of the container. In this way you can easily maneuver your container into the right position before removing the dolly.
- Steel Deck Machine Dolly Model: This basic machine dolly from Wesco has 2” steel wheels to provide great durability and strength with a solid steel construction. This unit is 11.75” x 8.5” with a height of 2.5”. This makes it great for placing under a container that needs to be easily moved. The unit holds an incredible capacity of 10,000 pounds, but weighs only 11.84 lbs. An optional steering handle is also available.
