3rd Industrial Trucks

Powered industrial trucks, such as forklifts, are used to move large materials or large quantities of materials around the manufacturing floor. They are also utilized to efficiently load (or unload) heavy objects onto delivery trucks. Industrial trucks are very useful when there is insufficient flow volume to justify the implementation of a conveyor system. Examples of industrial trucks include:

• Platform trucks– These are similar to a two wheeled dolly, but with an extended deck.

• Order picker– An electric lift truck specifically designed for filling individual customer orders. This requires piece-part picking rather than selecting full pallets or unit loads.

• Conveyor belts

• Stackers– Similar to forklifts, stackers help to lift and stack heavy loads on the dock or in the warehouse.

• Silos– A tower used to store grain and other materials such as coal, sawdust, woodchips, and food products.
