Ohh, warehouse work. It’s never a real delight, but it’s a way of life for nearly every company. Traverse around,
find the part you need, come back, ship it. That’s the order of things.
There’s a company in Fresno, California called Mouse Cart, that makes a great solution for this. It’s fun, and rides like a scooter. There’s no engine, (one quick stroke and off you go). They’re really sturdy, (the front is a big roto-molded piece). The base is steel plate, and all the bearings are very heavy duty.
To get around and cruise through a warehouse, there’s truly no better way. They roll fast, and well, are far more fun than you’re supposed to have in a warehouse. More importantly they reduce picking time by a lot, especially in
bigger warehouses, plus you don’t have to pay the added expense of fuel, or heavy maintenance costs. Besides, who needs a forklift if you’re picking something lightweight? You just don’t want to walk that far, and you can do it while carrying quite a substantial load!
Companies like Honda, HP. Amazon, and many others already use it.
They’ve got a great try and buy program, (try one,, then get a fleet for your warehouse!)
I’ve ridden these plenty, and let me tell you, this is one gadget that is perfect for the job at hand (and a ton of fun!) Read the rest of this entry »
