Your main forklift is moving all day. So why are trucks still waiting to be unloaded?
For warehouse operators, this looks like a capacity problem. Look closer.
The forklift is shifting pallets across the floor while unloading waits and despatch backs up.
From the office, the machine looks fully utilised.
On the floor, it is tied up doing pallet-truck work.
A suitable powered pallet truck could handle those routine ground-level movements, leaving the forklift available for unloading, stacking and work that actually requires lift capacity.
Before pricing another forklift, watch what is occupying the one you already have.
The smarter spend may be a different machine for part of the job, at a fraction of the cost of adding another forklift.
Give the forklift the right work.
