Many times a standard pallet jack just won’t cut it. Perhaps your inventory is oddly shaped, sized or is extremely heavy. To help find a pallet jack that meets your needs answer the following questions.

- How much does the object weigh, including the pallet?
- What are the dimensions of the pallet or platform that it’s on (if any)? What is the width and length of the pallet? What is the width and height of the fork openings? How far apart are they?
- How will the pallet be accessed once it’s in place? Do you need to enter it from all four sides, two sides, or one side only?
- How high is the entry point from the floor?
- What is the maximum height the object can be from the floor when the pallet truck is lowered?
- What are the environmental conditions (Are you working in wet or sterile conditions?)

With this information, Material Flow can find or have one of our skilled manufacturers build a pallet jack or pallet truck that is specifically designed for your application. Having the right truck for the job means getting work done faster and with fewer injuries

Lockers come in many styles. The following guide will help you pick the best locker for your application.

Single Tier Lockers: The most popular style of locker. Single tier lockers are roomy enough for just about any secured storage application.  They are common in factories, schools, hospitals, and other locations where coats and clothing are stored. 

Double Tier Lockers:  Double Tier lockers feature two openings per locker, giving you twice as many lockers in the same space, yet providing plenty of hanging room for shirts and jackets. Perfect for the gym.

Box Lockers: Box Lockers are ideal for securely storing smaller items like purses, lunches, books and athletic gear.

Ventilated Lockers: Ventilated Lockers keep aisle ways and rooms free from stale odors caused by damp clothing.
