 JX0 - Modified for the modern warehouse |
Lean warehousing focuses on the pull you can create from your existing resources and procedures to reduce waste in your workplace. Materials handling equipment if properly utilised and correctly placed to suit your operation allows you to pull more productivity out of the workflow of your goods.Pinpointing where you can innovate your warehouse floor plan and the yield it returns to the bottom line is identifying and eliminating wastage. This can be with surplus stock, slow operator or materials handling workflows, unnecessary stock movements, supply availability doesn't meet demand, poor storage, errors and lack of employee creativity. Materials handling is central to all these concepts of waste. Placing the right equipment is highly critical to productivity and lean warehousing.
With this in mind, suppliers such as UniCarriers and EP Equipment, consistently rise to the challenge innovating products to meet the market demands for improved handling efficiency and better returns on investment for total costs of ownership for forklift owners. For large to medium scale operations with larger forklift fleets it pays in dividends to look at the offerings of premium brands like UniCarriers. UniCarriers has been at the forefront of leading technology in dual fuel forklifts with the introduction of Nissan fuel injected engine in the
1F Series range. The product hit the market in response to the demand for lower running costs in fuel and reduction in carbon emissions. The electric fuel injected engine by Nissan Motor Co is an original in the UniCarriers brand and is now used by many other manufacturers. It's output and return on investment is unrivalled.
