Working in the restaurant industry can be a pain – literally. The strain of carrying trays, lifting plates from food windows, bending to clean booth cracks and walking oddly to avoid slipping is near backbreaking. 

One of the most common and painful incidents is a hard fall on the kitchen floor. All it takes is one melted ice cube or a slosh of soda – and boom – you’re down for the count. That’s why safety mats are a necessity for wet and slippery environments. The Safety Stance rubber mat has large openings to allow liquids and debris to drain through for a dry standing surface. It’s also thick enough to provide maximum anti-fatigue relief.

Besides the yearly wear docks endure during docking operations, the heights of trucks have changed over time. Edge dock levelers are used when a truck’s height doesn’t match the dock equipment.

The Edge-O-Dock Leveler saves valuable floor space and permanently attaches to docks for immediate use. These levelers never get lost or stolen and eliminate pinched fingers and toes. Dock levelers are available in either mechanical, hand pump hydraulic or electric models. For more information about dock levelers contact us! We’ll put you in touch with one of our Material Handling professionals.

When replacing your old wood pallets you should consider switching to eco-friendly. There are many advantages to using 100% recycled HDPE plastic pallets over wood. Not only are they just as strong, but they won’t splinter, rust or rot like wood. You’ll be able to reuse plastic pallets trip after trip and recycle them after they’re exhausted. Also, recycled plastic pallets are made lightweight for reduced worker fatigue and are chemical resistant.

Is your warehouse or plant in need of more space? There’s an alternative to buying new land or leasing off site. Mezzanines are cost effective and add square footage to your warehouse by utilizing unused space. A typical mezzanine offers three times the space of a new building for the same amount of money. Plus, because they aren’t stand alone structures, special tax benefits apply.

Mezzanines also offer smart space options such as:
• Bar grating treads or deck
• Diamond or smooth plate decking
• Greater capacities
• Custom column centers
• Custom Elevations
• Custom stair and landing layouts
• Custom gates and ladders
