Maneuvering Products in Tiny Spaces

Has your business grown to the point where you have added machines, presses, etc. to produce the products your customers need, but now cannot properly function to move those products around in your facility?

Traditional forklift walk-behind stacker equipment will no longer fit because the outrigger legs and turning radius is no longer viable. This is due to putting in that new press or machine to run your business. Your employees are complaining that they now have to physically push products on carts because that is the only way to maneuver out of their work area to the finished goods departments. This could create potential injuries to your employees and make for an overall poor working condition, especially while your company is growing and needs those workers.

Using a forklift tugger is both a solution to this problem as well as an inexpensive product for you to purchase. A forklift tugger is a small piece of equipment that looks like a hand dolly, but has a battery and an easy functioning ergonomic handle for the operator to use without using their own physical power to push or pull the product. A tow hitch device on the tugger grabs the cart that the product is on and the operator simply uses the forward and reverse buttons on the handle and maneuvers the cart around their work area. It is a safe and efficient way to move products and the cost of the tuggers is typically only a few thousand dollars.

Please consider using a forklift tugger to keep your employees safe and happy which will help your business grow and prosper!
