Walkie Forklifts
1. What are walkie forklifts?
Walkie forklifts are the most basic and inexpensive type of forklift. They are also referred to as pallet stackers, pallet jacks, walkies, and straddle stackers.
They are used for moving products stored on pallets over short distances and lifting and lowering pallets in smaller spaces where a larger forklift would have a difficult time maneuvering.
Hangcha offers a complete line of walkie forklifts including energy-efficient lithium-ion models. Check out this Hangcha walkie forklift in action.
Pallet stackers are a great asset for your warehouse
2. Uses for walkie forklifts
Great for Retail and Small Warehouse Settings
Hangcha walkie forklifts work well in retail and warehouse settings because they are smaller than traditional forklifts and you can maneuver them around the tighter spaces in your facility.
You can easily use walkies to move your stock from your backroom to your sales floor with minimal disruption to your customers. They are also narrow enough so that your customers will not be bothered by them if you need to put out merchandise during opening hours.
Walkies can also help your staff be more efficient as you can move larger, heavier boxes back and forth at one time instead of having to carry small loads of product by hand.
The handles are designed to help you control the speed, steering and lifting. Also, because you are walking, the walkie is not going fast enough to be a safety issue for customers or other staff.
Walkies are great for warehouses and retail locations
Great for the Food Industry
Hangcha's walkie forklifts are a great solution if you need to move and stack pallets of food or beverages in smaller spaces. They work particularly well in supermarkets where space is limited such as in-store aisles where shelves need to be stocked.
You don't want to be bringing a full-sized forklift onto your store floor when customers are present, but a small walkie pallet jack can handle the full weight of your skids. They are easy to handle and maneuver in tight spaces.
In the food industry, you are dealing with perishable foodstuffs so you need to make sure that your turnaround times are as fast as possible. Investing in a double pallet jack will enable you to handle twice as many pallets in the same amount of time thus increasing your efficiency.
Hangcha's walkie forklifts are electric so they won't give off harmful fumes which can easily contaminate food and be harmful to your workers in enclosed spaces.
Another great benefit of walkie forklifts is that they are great for unloading and loading deliveries from a truck. Time is of the essence, especially on hot summer days, to get your perishable products that need refrigeration or freezing to and from delivery trucks and refrigerated areas.
