HAR9342 400KG HAND TRUCK
“1) Safety
A worker’s ability to carry out their work depends on their equipment’s safety and security. Heavy lifting and goods movement is unavoidable in a warehouse or an industrial setting, but every step should be taken to minimize the risk of employees developing muscle sprains and tears or other injuries. Handcarts are a fast and safe means of transporting heavy loads that avoid heavy lifting risks and require no specialist training.
2) Productivity
No matter how much a warehouse operation is automated, you can’t take the human aspect out of the business. And unfortunately for your KPIs, humans need to rest. A hand truck wins you back that precious time that workers would spend recovering from lifting heavy loads. Also, a hand truck can carry far more items than an unaided operative and it needs fewer trips from the loading bay to the shelf to complete a consignment. In short, a hand truck does more for less. It’s the epitome of efficiency.
3) Affordability
You probably don’t need Amazon’s warehouse bots to keep things running smoothly, but you certainly need good value for money. The best thing about hand trucks is that they hardly ever need maintenance, repairs, or replacement and have an excellent service life. Also, the up-front purchase price is generally affordable and only a fraction of what the latest automated systems would cost. So, buying good quality hand trucks minimizes your overheads and operating expenses.
4) Flexibility
Today’s hand trucks do so much more than carry their loads upright from A to B.
5) Hygienic
In this day and age, good hygiene is key to the smooth running of a business. A hand truck fits in well with this new reality because it is cleverly designed for minimal contact. It features a narrow frame with limited surface area, only requires one person’s handling, and comes with wipe-clean handles. With basic accessories or features like the familiar toe plate, it can be maneuvered over lumps and bumps or even stairs by the carrier, with no additional help.”
