If your business is involved in the shipping and receiving of goods, then you know that having the right equipment available to your staff is essential to your operations. When hundreds of items are coming in and moving out it is costing you money as well as making you money, and knowing that your warehouse has the best possible shipping technologies available will save you big on both! There are a lot of items that go into a successful shipping warehouse’s day-to-day functions, we are now going to mention those essential pieces that we can’t do business without!
Automatic Pallet Wrapper – The proper wrapping of a pallet is vitally important, it holds the various boxes and items together, making them a cohesive unit that won’t tip over or drop pieces during its journey. Wrapping also protects the goods on the pallet from the weather as they make their way out to the truck or other transportation that will carry them to their destination. Old warehouse hands know that manually wrapping a pallet properly with a tape dispensing gun is a big, time-consuming job that no one enjoys doing. That’s why we so highly recommend that you acquire an automatic pallet wrapper for your shipping warehouse, it does the job in nothing flat, saving you time and wear and tear on your hard-working staff! You will thank us once you see how great this easy-to-use device works, speeding up your shipping time and increasing your profits!
Carton Taping Machine – If you are going to be filling a lot of cartons that are all the same size, it’s going to take a lot of time and energy to have your staff tape each one shut manually, not to mention that the usually hurried results usually aren’t pretty, resembling a young child’s best attempt at wrapping a present! Sure, the carton is closed tightly, but it doesn’t present a polished and professional look to your customers, and appearances are so important in the world of the consumer! That’s why we recommend that you use a carton-taping machine that can close each and every item thoroughly and quickly without looking a mess!
Pallet Anti-Slip Sheets – There’s nothing worse than a leaning pallet threatening to topple over as you try to move it safely! Some cartons tend to want to slide around during their often bumpy rides during transport, creating a real mess for the unlucky warehouse staff that receives the wonky results on their dock! The answer to this problem is to place reusable anti-slip sheets between each pallet layer to prevent any unnecessary damage from occurring during the storage and conveyance of pallets to and from transport. Anti-slip sheets are a must for cartons that are wrapped in shiny, slippery plastic coatings, they increase the friction to prevent unwanted movement. No more slip sliding away, your pallets will stand firm and tall!
Those are just some of the innovative new products available for today’s shipping warehouses, replacing old outdated methods with easy, modern solutions! The one thing they can’t replace is elbow grease, your staff will have to continue to supply their own!
