Weatherproof Moving Equipment

February 11, 2013

While moving is never a fun endeavor, the weather can make the process even more harrowing as it exposes valuable furniture and electronics to things like rain, snow, and the kind of wind that can throw a heavy hand truck off balance. These elements are not to be messed with, especially for homeowners that simply can’t afford to replace their personal items. Businesses, too, need to avoid running into trouble with Mother Nature, as rain and snow can do irreversible damage to equipment and electronics that keep things on track.

Useful Extensions for Forklifts

Though designed to be inherently useful in a wide variety of situations, even the best forklifts can sometimes be a bit limited by the length of the “forks” that extend outward from the equipment. Typically, these forks are just a few feet long and they’re designed to handle a pallet of regular size. In the…

Heavy Duty Pallet Trucks for Industrial Drums

Industrial drums are easily some of the heaviest pieces of equipment sitting in most commercial facilities, at least outside of the several-ton machines that make the facility tick every day.

Material Handling Companies in Miami FL

February 7, 2013

Large cities have lots of activity, especially cities that are close to waterways and international ports such as Miami. Every day there is not only a large influx of people into Miami, but there is also a large influx of property, equipment, products and merchandise. A large city that has lots of movement has needs that other cities might not have. Items need to be moved from one place to another, off of ships, onto trucks, into other vehicles and forms of alternate transportation.

Scissors Lift Tables Make Your Work Much Easier

February 6, 2013

Material handling equipment has been designed to make every task easier, including storing and transporting heavy boxes and raising them to the appropriate height for processing or transfer. Chief among the material handling equipment options available to consumers for this task is a scissors lift table. These unique tables combine the efficiency and utility of a traditional table with a pneumatic lift that can actually raise the table’s height to the best level for a day’s work. Because they’re often pneumatic, these tables are easy to operate and highly ergonomic for packages of all sizes.

Heavy Duty Dual Purpose Trucks

Commercial and industrial work sites often require moving very heavy and unwieldy objects from place to place, and this can be pretty difficult to do without the right equipment. For businesses that are low on space, finding the right moving equipment for every job can be even more difficult, as it may not be possible to buy all of the right hand trucks, flat bed trucks, and other moving equipment, that is needed to best perform the task.
