The new products will not always be placed where it makes the most sense, these products are normally stored where there is extra room. The frequently handled objects are separated due to size or to storage handling requirements. Because of increased business, Stock-Keeping Units or SKUs have proliferated. Order-picking and replenishment speeds are reduced because of bad lighting. The forklift fleet is too small and more round trips are needed using the same machine. Forklifts experience detours and slowdowns due to poor equipment maintenance and uneven floor surfaces. Inefficient warehouse layout usually leads to inefficient workflows and dead-end aisles.
If any of the above problems seem familiar at your workplace, or if you know ways to be much more effective overall, there are 3 main areas to focus on:
The layout of the storage, shipping, and receiving areas: Direct the way your product flows by utilizing a facility layout or by drawing a series of arrows. The best facilities provide a single direction, well-organized flow from receiving to shipping. If your arrows go in many different directions, or go in the opposite to the desired direction or double backwards in any spots, then you have determined your inefficient spots.
Work to improve access to product destinations, reduce travel distances between destination and source, reduce bottleneck areas once you have identified your trouble spots. This can be done by re-vamping any forklift and high-travel congestion places.
Cross-Docking? For items that quickly move throughout your facility, consider cross-docking options. The cross-docked inventory is not stored in the warehouse. It is transported from inbound delivery almost directly to outbound shipping. Some of the consolidation and sorting is usually performed in the shipping areas. The easiest objects to cross-dock are typically bar coded products with predicable demands and high inventory carrying costs.
The Disadvantages of LPG Propane Forklifts
The LPG's major disadvantages when compare to the diesel forklift includes the fact that they are not as effective when performing jobs which need high and or constant duty drive line torque. These units have a liability exposure, due to the possibility of a fuel system leak while the truck is located indoors. Moreover, operators should be trained on the safe handling of propane fuel. The rearward visibility off of the back end of the counterweight is limited. This is because of the propane tank's location.
In comparison to diesel and electric units, fuel cost is higher with propane models. There are possible injury claims because of the weight and frequency which propane tanks are changed; about every 6 hours of usage unless the site has a bulk fill station located there. Propane forklifts can be trickier to start and run smoothly when they are operating in freezing temperatures. In remote locations, propane fuel is not always available at once. In the next few decades, the fossil fuel cost is estimated to climb significantly. Take into account and plan for overall expense or repair and maintenance, as well, as the entire cost of ownership to be the highest of the 3 alternatives.
Depending on what your specific applications are, there is certainly a possibility that the LPG forklift models would be ideal for you. It is best to consider your specific lifting requirements and loads as well as the types of environments you will be operating in so as to be certain that you buy the best model to suit all your needs.
