The lift truck has become a vital piece of machine that can raise and transport products and heavy materials with both efficiency and speed. The way a company utilizes this tool can considerably affect its profitability.



A common storage technique is Free Stacking Pallets. This is a way to utilize your lift truck which is economical and easy. Free Stacking Pallets is placing one pallet on top of another to make a stack of products. This is a stable storage method and is suggested when dealing with many pallets of similar dimensions and height or large amounts of the similar goods. The drawback of this particular technique is that it just enables access to the items placed last, so it does not allow a First In First Out system.



It is vital to have a pallet racking system that involves the stable storage of different sized pallets. Utilizing a Last In First Out or First In First Out system, will allow for easy access of any pallet. It allows the rack to grow and change shape depending upon daily needs. This particular technique needs aisles which are sufficiently wide to enable a lift truck to freely access the racks and easily maneuver. The downside is that this technique means less pallets can be handled in the environment. This may not make a difference if there is enough space available.



Similar to Pallet Racking, the technique referred to as Narrow Aisle Racking allows a First In First Out or Last In First Out method. It varies in that a special narrow forklift is used. This means that smaller spaces are necessary between the aisles of pallets than in the Pallet Racking technique. The benefit is that a lot more product could be kept in the same space. The disadvantage is that you would have to transition to a new truck if you already own a standard forklift truck. The cost of acquiring special equipment may be a deterrent to implementing this particular system of storage.



It is important to use your lift truck to its full capability. It pays to analyze your time costs in storage and retrieval of pallets. After that you could find out whether there are more effective ways to utilize your forklift to accelerate the process or to increase the usable area of your units. Greater effectiveness equals bigger productivity.
