Construction has traditionally been a key economic indicator for the nation, but it takes a steady supply of building materials, including lumber and wood products, to keep it running. However, recent supply issues and labor shortages have left these industries scrambling to keep pace with growing demand. Wolter’s combination of an expanding range of solutions and extensive operational productivity expertise can help the industry harvest the opportunities available. 

While improving efficiency and controlling costs plague most industries, some of the challenges that are unique to the lumber and construction materials industries include:

  • Ongoing supply chain issues
  • Goods transport and distribution
  • Storage and handling of long, heavy and irregular goods

SIDE-LOADING & MULTI DIRECTIONAL FORKLIFTS

Long, cumbersome loads can make moving materials through production a challenge. With side-loading and multidirectional forklifts, you’re able to safely and efficiently move lumber, timber and construction materials throughout your facility, including downnarrow warehouse aisles.

CANTILEVER RACKS

The sheer weight of palletized lumber means you don’t want to stack it too high, or you risk damaging the finished lumber below. With a variety of storage solutions like cantilever racks, our in-house engineers can create effective solutions that enable lumber operations to literally take storage capacity to new heights.

PNEUMATIC FORKLIFTS

For palletized materials and conventional-sized goods, reliable internal combustion or electric pneumatic forklifts are essential. Not only are they able to be operated all day, their pneumatic tires allow safe and smooth operation across concrete and asphalt as well as rough terrain and uneven surfaces.

WORKSTATION CRANES

Turning wood into finished goods like millwork or furniture takes precision and finesse. Workstation cranes integrate with manufacturing processes to move heavy loads efficiently in a set work space. Easily configured to the operator’s needs and job duties, they allow for ease of movement and load manipulation while reducing physical stress and work-related injuries.

OVERHEAD CRANES

Our selection of overhead cranes offer an easy and low cost way to transport heavy loads across your milling or manufacturing facility. When combined with hoists and application-specific below-the-hook attachments, what you get is a safe, efficient and versatile lifting solution.

ROUGH TERRAIN FORKLIFTS

Featuring larger pneumatic tires and greater ground clearance than your typical industrial forklift, rough terrain forklifts are able to efficiently move loads across uneven surfaces like gravel, dirt and rock. Also called all terrain forklifts, they’re an ideal material handling solution for construction sites and lumber yards.
