Motorized Carts Plays a Key Role
DJ Products makes motorized carts and powered movers that eliminate the strain and pain that can result when workers try to push heavy carts loaded with items like dirty linens or cleaning supplies.

The industrial application of motorized carts demonstrates just how useful these carts can be. Motorized cart solutions from DJ Products are made to help people who need to transport heavy loads. They are less costly, smaller, and more maneuverable than traditional electric equipment such as motorized riding tugs.

Our motorized carts for hospitals and the hospitality industry are designed to help make certain tasks easier and reduce the possibility of injury. For example, the Ergo Power electric cart (a motorized cart) has a variable speed handle bar twist grip that allows it to maneuver in tight aisles.

Electric Carts Can Increase Efficiency
In order for companies to grow to meet their full potential their current procedures will most likely have to evolve. Using traditional means of picking and shipping orders and relying on outdated equipment can result in wasted time and the possibility of mistakes.

Dividing a large warehouse into a number of smaller zones based on certain product characteristics can yield huge benefits in terms of accuracy and efficiency. Order pickers who are directed to a specific storage rack that is clearly and properly labeled will have a much easier time fulfilling orders than an employee who’s got to search an entire warehouse for material.

Employees who have access to the best material handling equipment will also be able to complete specific tasks quickly and more accurately. An electric cart from DJ Products is easy to maneuver in forward and reverse at up to three miles an hour, even when fully loaded with heavy parts. This allows workers to focus on accurately picking the necessary amount or parts without having to worry about potentially struggling back to the shipping department like they would with a manual cart.

DJ Products electric cart runs on a powerful battery that can last for a full eight hour shift without needing to be recharged. Pickers won’t have to waste time in the middle of pulling a hot order to refuel or to transfer the material that they’ve already picked to a cart that is functioning. This reliability from electric carts ultimately saves a great deal of time and extra effort and it helps employees to tackle the largest of orders with the utmost confidence.

If you want to keep the customers that you have and eventually be able to serve to new ones, you’ve got to make sure that your picking and shipping departments can readily handle the volume. Make sure that your warehouse is properly structured and organized to handle the volume of orders that you are doing and provide your employees with safe and reliable equipment like the electric carts from DJ Products.
