The lift truck is a vital machine to help workers raise and transport heavy weight materials and products with efficiency and speed without injuring their bodies. How a business uses this tool could considerably affect its productivity.



Free stacking pallets is the most common storage method. Utilizing this storage method is both easy and economical for your lift truck. Free Stacking Pallets involves placing one pallet on top of another to make a stack of products. This is a stable storage system and is recommended when dealing with large amounts of similar goods, or many pallets of similar dimensions and height. The disadvantage of this system is that it only enables access to the items put last, so it does not enable a First In First Out system.



Pallet Racking is a system which involves the stable storage of various sized pallets. Any pallet could be accessed at any time, which allows a First In First Out or Last In First Out method. It enables the rack to change shape and grow depending upon daily requirements. This particular system requires aisles that are adequately wide to allow a forklift to maneuver easily and to freely access the racks. The downside is that this method means less pallets can be handled within the setting. This may not matter if there is enough space available.



Similar to Pallet Racking, the method known as Narrow Aisle Racking enables a First In First Out or Last In First Out technique. It varies in that a special narrow lift truck is used. This means that smaller spaces are required between the aisles of pallets than in the Pallet Racking way. The benefit is that a lot more product can be kept in the same area. The downside is that you will have to transition to a new truck if you already own a standard forklift truck. The cost of obtaining special machines may be a deterrent to adopting this particular method of storage.



It is important to use your forklift truck to its full capability. It pays to analyze your time expenditure in storage and retrieval of pallets. After that you can determine whether there are more efficient means to use your lift truck to increase the usable space of your units or to speed up the process. Greater effectiveness equals bigger productivity.
