UK companies should view the traditional summer shutdown as a period where there are great benefits that can be derived with some careful advanced planning.

Many organisations run fleets of lifting equipment and some have multi sites throughout the UK to consider. These sites usually have pallet trucks, hydraulic stackers, scissor lift tables and many other types of materials handling lifting equipment.

There are many unloved, rusty-around-the-edges pallet trucks lurking in corners or out the back of company premises. Have you got any? Would you consider resurrecting them or perhaps you think they are beyond repair?

Regular servicing and Thorough Examinations are essential for maintaining the safety and efficiency of lifting equipment, such as stackers, pallet trucks, forklift trucks, scissor lift tables and indeed all hydraulic lifting equipment.

Maintenance and safety are critical aspects of managing material handling equipment. By prioritising maintenance and implementing safety measures, you can ensure smooth operations and minimise the risk of accidents.

Investing in material handling equipment offers numerous benefits for warehouse operations. From increased safety and reduced labour costs to improved inventory management and faster order fulfilment, these tools can transform your warehouse into a well-oiled machine.

Manhole covers or maintenance hole covers are removable plates that form the lid over an opening of a manhole. This is an opening that a person can pass through or maintenance can be conducted from. It usually gains access to a utility vault, pipe or void and can be rectangular, square or circular, whilst coming in a whole variety of sizes.

Why you should choose a company that offers much more than just e-commerce.

UK business’ often see a summer shutdown as just a period where trading momentum falters and lost revenue occurs. Whilst not wanting to debate that issue, we would like to highlight some obvious benefits that can be derived with some careful advanced planning. Companies who put in place an effective use of their shutdown periods are preparing the ground for better future trading and measures that are designed as a sensible cost saving process.

When you invest in equipment for your business, you naturally want to receive value for money. Negotiating purchases and procuring the right tools for the job are part of running your business effectively, as is protecting your assets once they are yours.

Take a look around your business premises. Really take a good hard look. How do your shelves look? Are they clean and tidy, or have they amassed dirt, dust and debris from use over time?

When it comes to big-ticket items, it can sometimes feel as though hiring equipment is a more cost effective solution than purchasing your own. However, at Action Handling we believe that investing in your business equipment comes with a whole range of benefits.
