The key to a facility achieving effective and efficient warehousing operations is the identification of the right mix of warehouse assets, effective use of those assets and an optimal facility layout. Forklifts are a group of warehouse assets that should be closely scrutinized. These are the primary movers of the warehouse – moving goods from place to place. Ineffective forklift use can lead to wasted travel time and other problems that ultimately slow down warehousing operations. Facilities need to assess whether they are utilizing the right type of forklift for their particular operation and determine whether different or additional forklifts may be beneficial. However, with the current state of the economy, for most facilities it’s not possible to invest in new forklifts.
