The application of forklift in retail industry
Quick unloading
After the supplier's delivery vehicle arrives at the supermarket or hypermarket, the forklift is quickly put to work. For example, a large truck loaded with all kinds of daily necessities is parked in the receiving area, and the forklift operator skillfully inserts the fork into the bottom of the cargo pallet, lifts the fork, and smoothly removes the whole pallet of goods from the truck compartment to the receiving temporary storage area. Compared with manual unloading, forklift greatly shortens the unloading time, taking a medium-sized supermarket as an example, the original manual unloading takes several hours of goods, the use of forklift may only take about half an hour to complete, greatly improving the efficiency of goods receiving.
Classification handling
During the unloading process, the forklift can also carry out preliminary classification handling according to the category and storage requirements of the goods. For example, the normal temperature food is transported to the normal temperature temporary storage area, and the refrigerated food is quickly transported to the cold temporary storage area to ensure that the goods with different storage conditions are handled in a timely and appropriate manner to avoid deterioration or damage to the goods due to too long waiting time.
Inventory
During inventory counting, the forklift assists the inventory personnel to move the goods quickly, which is convenient to check the quantity and batch information of the goods. When the goods stored deep in the shelf need to be counted, the forklift can temporarily move the surrounding goods away to facilitate the inventory personnel to count and record. At the same time, for the inventory that needs to be reorganized, the forklift can quickly move the goods to the new cargo location, ensuring that the inventory is placed in an orderly manner, which is convenient for subsequent management and search.
Display handling
In the new store or store layout adjustment, forklift is responsible for moving a large number of shelves, display props and goods to the designated display area. For example, in a newly opened large store, forklifts will move groups of shelves to each sales area, and then move all kinds of goods to the shelves next to facilitate employees to display and arrange, ensuring that the store can open on time and greet customers with a good image.
