Does your company’s business model include a warehouse with lots of inventory? Do you need your staff to manually move this inventory around? Are there large trucks that arrive with more product that must be offloaded and dispersed throughout your warehouse? If you answered “yes” to any one of these questions, you should be looking at forklifts for sale in Ontario.
The first reason is because all that manual labor isn’t safe for your employees. They run the risk of pulling or otherwise damaging a muscle, throwing out their backs, or dropping heavy objects on their feet. Even with your best efforts, it’s often hard to keep warehouses clean, meaning a damp floor could cause your employee to slip with an armful of product, making their injury worse.
Forklifts can lift far more than your staff ever could too. We’re talking at least a few thousand pounds. Yet despite this impressive output, your employees will be safer than ever when using them. So you don’t have to worry as much about possible lawsuits or losing workers while they’re on the mend.
Yet, forklifts are such compact machines that they can essentially go just about anywhere an employee could in the warehouse. Don’t worry that confined spaces and lack of room between shelves will provide a challenge where this handy vehicle is concerned.
You can also anticipate improved productivity with a forklift. Consider how long it may take one of your trucks to get unloaded. Now think about that timeline with a forklift getting in the back and clearing that shipment out.
Best of all, with a forklift on your side, the rest of your staff can handle more important matters that actually require a human touch.
