Built using metals, alloys, wood and even plastic, these consist of sturdy wheels and castors, which enable them to carry heavy goods from one place to other. Most trolleys typically contain a basket or a platform, where various goods and materials are loaded and then moved to and fro. Hand trolleys are a type of trolley, which are used for this purpose.

However, there are a number of powered trolleys too, which run on electricity or battery and need zero-manpower to push or pull them. Such trolleys are used in places where a large number of freight is to be handled. It is here, that a trolley becomes an essential materials handling equipment. For instance, some warehouses contain non-foldable or foldable trolley that can be used to carry loads of up to thousands of kilograms! This is something that is not possible to do manually.

Powered trolleys, drum dolly and powered tugs are some of the common warehouse equipment used across different industries. They are quite useful for materials handling, transfer and loading or unloading of raw materials, goods and finished products. Out of all these, the most common equipment used in different warehouses –whether big or small, is powered trolleys. Let us take a look at the merits of using such trolleys in detail:

• These eliminate the need for manual lifting heavy goods and materials, thereby increasing the safety of the workmen.
• These come with a number of detachable attachments, which make it easy to load or unload the goods.
• Non-powered trolleys need to be operated manually, which may cause injury to the handler at some point or the other. A trolley that runs on power needs no manual handling at all and hence, there is no risk of an injury.
• These can be designed specifically to meet a special purpose. For instance, the height can be adjusted, the wheels may be modified to run on different terrains, the handles can be altered as well and the load bearing capacity also varies to a large extent, which takes us to the next point.
• When fitted with wheels and casters of high load bearing capacity, these trolleys can bear load of hundreds of kilos easily. This is unimaginable with manually handled, non-powered trolleys.

Handling Systems and More About Safety and Security in a Factory

0 comments
Different types of handling systems are used in factories where different types of products are manufactured. You might ask what are handling systems, a simple definition would say that these are systems used in factories to manage material including its storage, control, safety and transportation. If it is a big factory you will notice conveyors especially installed to move materials from one place to another. Conveyors are known to make processes faster and are mostly used in car manufacturing units.

Setting up a factory is not a child’s play, lot of money and resources are involved. Automatic gate ensures better protection. Varied visual and audio verification systems can be installed to make sure that the people entering the premises are genuine and mean no harm. To save yourself from the hassle of getting down from your vehicle just to open the gate, you can use remote controlled automatic gate, where the gate will open as you press the open button.

Many times factories also use different types of wheeled and un-wheeled storage and moving equipments. When un-wheeled storage equipment is moved without much protection it leaves marks on the floor, to avoid them make sure you use castor cups. Right size castor cups will not only protect the floor but will also add to the stability of the equipment.

Generally wheeled storage equipments do not have much problems, however if in case there is some problem then it is mostly related to the wheel accessories, which wear out with time. To handle such situations it is always better to have a ready stock of replacement wheels, in case of emergency simply replace the wheel and you will be all prepared to proceed with the work.

Managing a factory is thus not easy there are lot many things to take care of.
