Mallard Manufacturing Corporation, leading manufacturer of gravity flow solutions, announces its newest accessory, the Pallet Jack Access Ramp for Pallet Flow. This product marries two commonly used tools in most warehouses: the pallet jack and floor-mounted pallet flow. Normally pallet flow is accessed via fork truck, but being able to use the nimble pallet jack in conjunction with pallet flow can lead to increased efficiencies in product staging areas and elsewhere in the warehouse. Constructed using heavy-duty galvanized material, this simple yet effective tool provides a quick, easy and affordable solution for the pallet jack operator to access the floor mounted pallet flow. “We designed the ramp as a tool for customers that recognized floor-mounted pallet flow in product staging areas just made good sense. What we’ve realized is that we can put this system to work in assembly, dock, staging, in-process and other work areas as well,” says Kevin Risch, President of Mallard Manufacturing. Ramps are created with a “textured grip” surface that prevents pallet jacks from accessing the system too quickly or the operator from slipping while entering or extracting the pallet. Benefits of Floor-Mounted Pallet Flow Reduces the number of forklifts and operators vs. bulk stacking Provides better space utilization – fewer aisles needed Reduces travel time – vehicles travel to staging lanes vs. full distance Maintains proper (FIFO) inventory rotation – critical for dated goods and food products Eliminates chaos and contention in dock area by separating order staging and put-away Benefits- Pallet Jack Access Ramps for Pallet Flow Enables quick access to flow lanes from load or pick side Frees up forklifts for order picking operations About Mallard Manufacturing – Founded in 1960, Mallard Manufacturing Company is a leading international resource for the design and development of quality engineered gravity flow, pallet flow and […]
