Growing warehouse demand does not always require a permanent equipment purchase.

Forklift rentals can help teams add capacity for seasonal peaks, temporary projects, downtime coverage, or changing workflows — without leaving equipment idle when demand slows.

The key is matching the rental to the work, the facility, and the timeline.

Vehicle Spotlight: Pallet Stackers

The not-quite-a-pallet-jack, not-quite-a-forklift vehicle that earns its space in busy warehouses.

Pallet Stackers are built for applications where teams need more vertical lift than a pallet jack can provide, but a full-size forklift may be more than the job requires.

They’re a practical fit for:
• Narrow aisles
• Staging and loading areas
• Production lines
• Retail storage spaces
• Elevated pallet placement

Compact, capable, and designed for controlled pallet handling, pallet stackers help keep product moving while using only minimal space.

A 795,000 sq. ft. distribution center takes shape one lift, beam, and bay at a time.

This time-lapse captures the installation of two multi-level pick modules for full- and split-case picking, along with 30-foot selective pallet rack for full pallet, partial pallet, and case-pick operations.

It’s a clear look at how vertical space, picking strategy, and storage capacity come together inside a large-scale warehouse buildout.

For facilities managing multi-channel fulfillment for high-volume SKUs, PEAK Shuttle systems can help streamline pallet storage and retrieval.

Configured for FIFO or LIFO inventory rotation, pallet shuttle systems help maximize cube space while creating a more organized, high-density storage strategy.

PEAK Shuttle systems are well suited for:
• Refrigerated, freezer, or ambient storage environments
• Scalable throughput needs by adding shuttles as demand grows
• Deep-lane storage for high-volume palletized SKUs
• Applications ranging from raw materials to finished goods
• Operations looking to reduce forklift travel

Take a closer look at high-density pallet storage in motion.

Warehouse heat safety isn’t just an outdoor-work issue—dock doors, trailers, mezzanines, dense storage areas, and limited airflow can all affect indoor warehouse conditions.

Learn what facility teams should review now as OSHA’s proposed heat rule brings more attention to indoor and outdoor heat hazards.

Guided in the Right Direction VNA storage can help maximize space, but tight aisles require the right lift truck navigation system to support safe, accurate travel.

Two common options include:
Wire Guidance: Uses an embedded floor wire to help VNA trucks travel precisely through the aisle
Rail Guidance: Uses fixed floor-mounted rails to help keep the truck centered

Both systems offer smooth travel, reduce the risk of rack impact, and help operators focus more on picking and pallet handling.

The right choice depends on your layout, equipment, aisle design, flexibility needs, and long-term plans.

Is your team using — or considering — stand-up reach trucks?

They are a smart choice for many high-density warehouses, helping teams work efficiently in narrower aisles and make better use of vertical storage space. But there is one rack-related safety risk to consider before installing or reconfiguring your system: underride.

With the right pallet rack design and planning, facilities can reduce this exposure while preserving the space-saving benefits of stand-up reach trucks.

Our latest blog https://bit.ly/4uWYtwF explains what to know about first-beam height, floor-level storage positions, and rack design strategies that support a safer operation.
