In this installment of Cisco-Eagle\u2019s Shoptalk series<\/a>, Rodney, Regional Director of Arkansas, discusses the benefits of using the forklift laser tine guide system<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Accidents<\/span>\u00a0while loading pallet racks<\/span>\u00a0are a fact of life in\u00a0<\/span>warehouses and other industrial <\/span>facilities <\/span>resulting<\/span>\u00a0in damaged pallets,\u00a0<\/span>inventory<\/span>, rack structure\u00a0<\/span>and injuries.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span>Accidents on high rack bays are more common as drivers often can’t see where their tines are aimed as they pick pallets. And because this type of damage usually means lost inventory or dangerous falling items, these accidents are always expensive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tine guides<\/a> give your drivers a bright red laser\u00a0<\/span>that provides a constant and highly-visible visual reference, even high up in a rack bay.\u00a0<\/span>Drivers can see exactly where their tines will enter the pallets, and if they are aimed at a beam or at the palletized load.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>With a reliable visual guide, loading pallets at any height becomes safer and more efficient\u00a0<\/span>—<\/span>which help<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0you reduce labor costs and product damage while your drivers work faster and more confidently<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rodney, an employee-owner since 2013, highlights the ways your operations can benefit from these systems, and the different options available.<\/p>\n
