Until Automation Does it All...
Do Something to Make E-Commerce Fulfillment Faster, Safer, and Easier
making work faster, safer, and easier since 1890 800.743.1000 I www.SouthworthProducts.com
E-commerce growth is driven by consumer benefits, but in
many cases, creates problems for order picking, packaging, and
fulfillment operations.
If you have employees picking orders from racks and shelving, or
manually loading and unloading pallets, we can show you how a
small investment in a PalletPal® Level Loader can make the job faster,
safer, and easier. These inexpensive devices position pallets at a
comfortable height, eliminating the bending, reaching, and stretching
required for manual loading and unloading. Many units have turntable
tops to allow workers to stay in one spot throughout the process.
When pallet loads are damaged or need to be transferred from
in-house to outbound pallets or skids, the PalletPal Pallet Rotator
can assist workers by effortlessly positioning the entire pallet load
for transfer or product replacement.
With over a dozen models to chose from, there is sure to be a
PalletPal Level Loader for your application.
