Equipment for use in a plastic packaging warehouse

Polymer packaging is one of the most popular and in-demand types of packaging. A special plastic film is used to produce it, which in turn is made from polyethylene. The specific type of polyethylene used for the film depends on the intended use of the final product. As a result, there are films for the production of food-grade polymer packaging and non-food-grade packaging.

Facility for polymer packaging: how to set it up

Polymer packaging has long been established on the global market. And no matter how many negative reviews it receives, this product remains in demand among ordinary consumers as well as within various industrial sectors. Polyethylene packaging is available in various types and variants. It can be soft or more rigid. Therefore, storage facilities are equipped depending on the specific type of polymer product to be stored in the warehouse.

Types of polymer packaging:

1. Soft plastic packaging (food and household bags, sacks, film) – an electric cargo tricycle can be used to transport such goods, regardless of the quantity. This type of warehouse equipment is capable of moving cargo both in bulk and pre-packed in boxes or bags;
2. Rigid polymer packaging (containers such as bottles, canisters, cans, vials, etc.)—this is more durable packaging that differs not only in purpose but also in dimensions, weight, and handling and storage requirements. Both electric pallet trucks and cargo tricycles can be used as warehouse equipment for such goods. Both types of vehicles can handle the internal movement of cargo and, if necessary, can be used outdoors.

Dump tricycles or platform electric pallet trucks are used in virtually all warehouses. A wide range of such equipment allows you to choose the most suitable option based on the warehouse area and the type of products themselves.

Features of platform trucks and tricycles for warehouses with plastic packaging

Electric forklifts, regardless of their type, load capacity, or dimensions, can be used both in warehouses and within manufacturing facilities. This equipment quickly delivers raw materials to the production floor and promptly removes finished products.

Key advantages of electric forklifts and tricycles for warehouses:

• speed of cargo movement;
• suitable for indoor use;
• safe for human health;
• allow you to get as close as possible to the shelves;
• easy to operate.

Electric forklifts and tricycles can handle heavy loads and are equipped with a comfortable driver’s seat. The equipment is highly maneuverable and easy to operate, making it manageable even for someone with no prior experience driving this type of warehouse equipment.
