Common examples using pick and drop locations

  • The length of the trip from the receiving dock to the storage area requires the associate to drop pallets at the end of the dock and use a double pallet jack to haul them to the storage area. The use of the double pallet jack reduces the number of trips.
  • A pallet jack was used to cherry pick the cases needed to replenish the third level of a mezzanine, but a fork truck is needed to lift the cases up to the third level.
  • A forklift driver puts away a pallet bound for a high security area and passes it through the opening used for receiving into the secure area. A pallet jack is used within the secure area to move it to its final destination.
