Most material handling decisions involve the storage of both raw materials and finished products prior to final shipment. The most common solution comes down to pallets and pallet racks. These systems catalog items to facilitate easy storage and have the potential to expand warehousing capabilities. Pallets are so common because they are easy to work with, handle a variety of loads and are made for stacking when combined with rack systems. Rack systems make for ideal use of storage space. Long rows and high columns allow every square inch of the warehouse to be used from floor to ceiling. Most importantly, these racks allow for safe and secure stacking of pallets. All stacked and stored goods are easily accessible with any number of pallet handling equipment for quick retrieval. The list of handling equipment designed to carry, lift and load pallets could fill a book by itself. The most commonly used equipment in the industry are pallet jacks, forklift trucks, dollies, carts and hand trucks. To move inventory vertically, forklift trucks and powered jacks are often used. Once the inventory is on the floor, any number of manual and powered devices is well suited to moving stock within the warehouse or facility. Best of all, most of these options require only one person to move the entire load by hand or with a truck or powered jack. In addition to rack and rigging systems, companies have many options when it comes to effective inventory management, storage and utilization.

Thank you for pointing out that businesses have a wide range of alternatives when it comes to efficient inventory management, storage, and use. My mother needs a system to lift and move heavy-duty industrial equipment at her factory. I'll advise her to hire professionals for industrial rigging.
