Lift for carts: EnKon Systems, Herkules Equipment Corp.’s brand of lift systems,
has designed, engineered, and manufactured a pneumatic scissor lift and rotate
system for carts. With the new system, users can raise a cart containing a pallet to
the proper height for placing products onto the pallet. The rotate system allows
the cart to be turned 360 degrees, reducing the time needed to complete the task.
Once the pallet is fully loaded, the customer can lower the lift and roll the cart full
of products to the desired location. (EnKon Systems, www.enkon.pro)
When you can fill your trailers higher,
which way do you think your profits will go?
ORBIS Small-Format pallets carry the same size load as a standard
pallet, while occupying a smaller footprint in your trailers. The 42”x 30”
footprint increases order stack height, offering a more economical
delivery solution for reduced case orders. With pallets packed-out
higher, instead of wider, your trailer density will increase and so will
your profit margins. Contact us to learn more.
