New product lines are stored wherever there is extra space, not necessarily where it makes the most sense. Frequently handled items are separated due to size or to storage handling requirements. Because of increased business, SKUs or Stock-Keeping Units have proliferated. Order-picking and replenishment speeds are lessened because of bad lighting. The forklift fleet is too small and more round trips are needed utilizing the same machine. Forklifts experience detours and slowdowns because of uneven floor surfaces and poor equipment maintenance. Inefficient warehouse design usually leads to dead-end aisles and ineffective workflows.
There are 3 main areas to focus on if any of the mentioned issues seem familiar at your place of work, or if you know ways to be more effective overall:
Shipping, Receiving and Storage Layout: Utilize a facility layout and draw a series of arrows reflecting the way your product flows. The best facilities offer a single direction, well-organized flow from receiving to shipping. If your arrows go in numerous different directions, or go in the opposite to the desired direction or double backwards in any spots, then you have determined your inefficient areas.
When you have identified your trouble spots, work to improve access to product destinations, lessen travel distances between source and destination, decrease bottleneck areas within the facility and re-vamp any forklift and high-travel congestion areas.
Cross-Docking? For objects that rapidly 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 normally done in the shipping areas. The easiest objects to cross-dock are usually bar coded products with predicable demands and high inventory carrying costs.
The Disadvantages of LPG Propane Forklifts
The LPG's key disadvantages when compare to the diesel forklift includes the fact that they are not as effective when performing jobs which require high and or constant duty drive line torque. These models have a liability exposure, because of the possibility of a fuel system leak while the truck is located indoors. In addition, operators must be trained on the safe use of propane fuel. The rearward visibility off of the counterweight's back end is limited. This is because of the location of the propane tank.
Compared to diesel and electric units, cost of fuel is higher with propane units. There are possible injury claims due to the frequency and weight which propane tanks are changed; about every 6 hours of usage unless the site has a bulk fill station situated there. Propane forklifts can be trickier to start and run smoothly when they are utilized in freezing temperatures. In remote locations, propane fuel is not always readily available. Over the next few decades, the cost of fossil fuels is projected to rise significantly. Consider and plan for overall repair maintenance expenses, as well, as the total cost of ownership to be the highest of the 3 options.
There is a real possibility that the LPG forklift models will be perfect for you, but would ultimately depend on what your needs are. It is best to consider your particular lifting requirements and loads as well as the kinds of environments you will be operating in in oder to be sure that you purchase the right unit that will meet your needs.
