4 Material Handling Tools That Make Ice Delivery Tasks Easier {{ currentPage ? currentPage.title : "" }}

The weather has turned hot, and it’s time for your ice delivery business to keep up with higher demand. With the right material handling tools, such as a convertible hand truck, your team can operate more efficiently while delivering ice to businesses and providing ice and troughs for summer events. If you want to help your employees move ice more efficiently, equip them with the right material handling tools.

Convertible Hand Truck

Hand Trucks for Bags of Ice

The classic hand truck can make delivering bags of ice much more efficient. Instead of having to carry heavy, cold bags of ice by hand, your employees can stack them up on a hand dolly and easily roll them into place. Hand trucks are capable of handling loads up to 500 pounds effortlessly. Instead of carrying items by hand, your team can easily deliver ice and other materials to a grocery store, convenience store, or anywhere.

Convertible Hand Trucks for Coolers

If your team moves a variety of different items, consider a more versatile option. A convertible hand truck enables a single employee to move far more bags of ice than they could by hand. Convertible hand trucks start as a classic upright hand truck, with all of the versatility a dolly brings, but can quickly transform into a horizontal hand cart in four-wheel mode. This is perfect for stacking even more bags of ice and moving loads up to 1,000 pounds. It’s also a great way to transport multiple coolers. When the task is complete, the dolly quickly converts back to an upright position, ready for more jobs or storage.

Powered Stair Climbing Hand Trucks to Tackle Stairs

If you need to deliver ice to a second floor or basement, a powered stair climbing dolly makes it easier and safer to move heavy loads. Instead of moving bags of ice and other supplies by hand up and down sets of stairs, the powered stair climbing dolly can do most of the work for your employees. All they need to do is stack ice on the dolly, hold a button or lever, and the dolly automatically ascends or descends the stairs.

Electric Dollies for Ice Troughs

Ice troughs are common at big events like concerts and festivals, and they can be heavy and unwieldy to move. Instead of using a team lift, move them into place with an electric dolly. Electric dollies are ideal for moving larger, heavier objects over long distances. Troughs can be long or large, making them harder to move by hand, and a team lift ties up two employees. If your delivery truck has a powered liftgate, you can bring an electric dolly, which easily tackles slightly rough terrain or hills and can handle loads up to 1,000 pounds.
