Summer is the season people go out
and have fun. During that time, there is an uptick in people needing to stay
hydrated, whether at a vending machine, restaurant, or convenience store. This
translates to a summer rush for beverage supply companies, whether it is
providing soda or transporting alcohol. From hand trucks to motorized keg lifting hand trucks, here are some of
the ways your company can use equipment to manage the summer rush.
Use a Hand Truck to
Restock
Your drivers will likely have to restock vending machines and retailers more
often in the summer months, thanks to people being more active. This, however,
can be tiring and take more time, putting strain on your driver. Equip each driver
with a hand cart
to help them get the job done faster while saving energy. Depending on the type
and quantity of products a driver has to deliver, you may instead want to equip
them with a convertible hand truck, which can transform into a horizontal
platform cart in seconds. Both will make restocking vendors a snap, helping the
driver perform tasks quickly and safely.
Move Vending Machines
with a Powered Hand Truck
Moving vending machines can be a challenge under even ideal conditions. Instead
of using a team lift, outfit drivers with a heavy duty hand truck or, ideally,
a powered hand truck. While the powered hand truck requires a liftgate on the delivery
truck, it can enable the driver to move a heavy vending machine by themselves
over long distances in less-than-ideal conditions, such as ramps and non-level
surfaces. This is also highly useful when vending machines need to be taken in
to be fixed.
Tackle Stairs with
Ease with a Powered Stair Climbing Dolly
What should your driver do when they need to move products or vending machines
up or down a flight of stairs, and no elevators are available? Utilize a
powered stair climbing dolly to do most of the work for them. You can find both
heavy duty and regular powered stair climbing dollies, depending on whether
your drivers need to just move beverages or vending machines. The dollies
feature a powered stair climbing action, putting far less stress on your driver
and letting them save energy while minimizing the risk of falling down stairs.
Deliver Kegs with a
Specialized Hand Truck
Does your beverage company also deliver kegs? Whether it’s to a restaurant or
bar, delivering kegs can be made much easier with a powered lifting hand truck.
These are specially designed to help deliver kegs, cradling kegs while using a
powered lifter to lift the keg, making it easy to move off of the hand truck
and stack into a cooler. These can be roughly the same size as a typical hand
truck but can lift loads like kegs in tight spaces. This is perfect for
storerooms, coolers in grocery stores, and behind the bar.
