What is the difference between a gantry crane and a jib crane?
A gantry crane is a freestanding frame with a beam on legs, while a jib crane has an arm mounted to a column or wall. Gantry cranes can often be moved to where the work is. Jib cranes swing in an arc to serve one work area, such as a machine or a workstation. The right choice depends on your load, layout and how far it must travel.
Should I use a pallet jack or a hand truck?
Use a pallet jack for full pallets and a hand truck for stacked boxes or crates. A pallet jack slides under a pallet and lifts it just off the floor so one person can move it. A hand truck is better for smaller loads and tight spaces. Many facilities keep both so workers always have the right tool for the load.
When do I need fork extensions for a forklift?
You need fork extensions when a load is too long or too large for your standard forks to support safely. Extensions give the load extra support along its length. Make sure the extensions match the size of your forks. Also confirm the load stays within your forklift's rated capacity, since a longer load changes how the truck carries weight.
How can I protect racks and equipment from forklift damage?
Protective barriers are the simplest way to protect racks, machines and walkways from forklift hits. Options include guard rail systems, pipe guards and rack guards. For high-traffic areas, flexible safety bollards and column protection add another layer. Call your nearest location or (800) 962-3141 and we will help you choose the right protection.
