A forklift supplier in Hampshire will accelerate your productivity<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It's no secret that competition has made forklifts more of a necessity than a choice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Locators aren't just forklift suppliers in Hampshire. We're the South's leading material handling and storage system company. We've attracted hire and sales enquiries across Hampshire, Dorset, Surrey, Sussex and beyond \u2013 which is a testament to our quality of service. Having gained such a stellar reputation among our clients, we've been trusted for our reasonable prices and expert opinion. Our forklifts are suitable for various business needs, whether a large warehouse job, material handling, or building works. Each truck is easy to manoeuvre and lift a variety of loads.<\/p>\n

We might help guide your decision, but here at Locators, we shift the control to our clients \u2013 so you can decide on the perfect vehicle to suit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Benefits of a forklift supplier in Hampshire<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

Extensive Young Fleet <\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Factory Trained Mobile Engineers<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Overnight Parts Delivery<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Quick, Easy & Competitive Rates<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Safe & Reliable Equipment <\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

However, above all else, our services are relied upon to help you safely and efficiently track where everything is in your space. Rules applied by competing industries mean that forklifts can sometimes be more of a necessity than a choice. Lifting heavy loads and moving large packing materials, such as boxes, are extremely risky if lifted manually. Therefore, hiring forklift equipment from a forklift supplier in Hampshire is far more beneficial.<\/p>\n

Here are just some aspects of the material handling industry we can help you with . . .<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

TRANSPORTATION<\/h5>

In logistics, products must be moved from one place to another. This includes conveyors, cranes, forklifts to move pallets, and semi-trucks to relocate large loads. As a forklift supplier in Hampshire, we\u2019re more than equipped to help streamline your transportation. Plus, we anticipate and are primed for the likelihood of drones and autonomous trucks becoming a big part of transportation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

POSITIONING <\/h5>

This includes lift tables, dock levellers, and other robotics. Its chief purpose is to improve the safety and ergonomics of the warehouse. Positioning modifies the work environment to protect people from bending, falling, or having to lift heavy loads. Again, as a forklift supplier in Hampshire, we can provide such specialist material handling equipment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

FORMATION <\/h5>

Instead of handling individual products or boxes, we often pack them into larger units. We could put them into totes, stack them on a pallet, or even put them into a shipping container. Simply put, this is more economical, fuel-efficient and far better for the environment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

STORAGE<\/h5>

From the outside, this is the main point of a warehouse. Manual systems like racks are commonly used to store boxes and pallets. Locators are renowned for their groundbreaking storage systems and can help you get more out of the space you have. However, advances in technology have seen the introduction of much more. These are things like robots, carousels, and Automatic Storage and Retrieval Systems or \"ASRS\". These innovations automate many put-away and picking steps.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

IDENTIFICATION<\/h5>

These technologies help us keep track of what things are and where they are located. This includes barcodes, quick response codes, and all the devices we use to print and read them. We often keep track of products and tools in the supply chain using little electronic devices. These devices are called Radio-Frequency Identification tags or \"RFID\". RFID can make tracking where things are more manageable and maintain accurate inventory information.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Moving and tracking the products in the supply chain can be expensive and dangerous.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Knowing the different material handling equipment available to you will be in a far better position. What's more, learning how to use such equipment correctly will make you better prepared for your warehouse. This will ensure that your supply chain will remain both safe and efficient. Locators can help you with this. Whether you need independent advice with your current forklift set-up or want to improve your staff's efficiency, we're on hand to help. As a deeply rooted forklift supplier in Hampshire, you can trust our in-depth knowledge of four decades of experience. We're a service-focused organisation experienced in giving quality support and assistance. We've helped hundreds of companies maximise their productivity and minimise their fuel costs.<\/p>\n

Despite having the scale of a national company, we've retained that personal one2one service you'd expect from a specialist.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Improve your warehouse operations with a forklift supplier in Hampshire<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Optimise your space, labour and equipment with Locators.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its simplest form, \"warehousing\" is the storage of goods until they are needed. Warehouse operations aim to satisfy your customers' needs and requirements. Yet, to do this, you need to utilise your space, equipment, and labour effectively - and this is where we come in. We're not just a forklift supplier in Hampshire. We can help you choose optimal material handling equipment and enhance your storage systems. Effective warehouse operations management won't just increase operational efficiency. It'll also help reduce costs and boost customer satisfaction.<\/p>\n

We'll summarise the warehouse operations needed to meet your customers' expectations.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Sound Familiar?<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>

Is your current fleet capacity struggling to keep up with the demands of unexpected peaks in your handling requirements?<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

If it\u2019s currently stretched thin, how do you think your business will fare against seasonal demands or unexpected breakdowns?<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Here at Locators, we\u2019re here to help. As a forklift supplier in Hampshire, we provide purchases and offer long and short-term hire packages.<\/h4><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
1. INBOUND<\/h5>

When your trucks reach the warehouse, they will enter the inbound area.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

2. UNLOADING<\/h5>

The truck will be parked at the docking area, and a forklift will unload the goods from the trucks to the staging area.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

3. RECEIVE GOODS<\/h5>

Once the quality check is done, the warehouse will send the documents to the data entry operator. They must update the Goods Received Note (GRN) into the system.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

4. CREATE GRN<\/h5>

GRN documents will be created, printed and paired with the load by the warehouse user.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

5. PUTAWAY<\/h5>

The warehouse user will carry the goods and safely store them in its designated location, which is often racking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

6. PICKING LIST CREATION<\/h5>

If there are any sales orders, the warehouse will inform the operator. The data operator will generate a picking list and give it to the picker to pick the products from the location.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

7. PACKING AREA<\/h5>

After picking the item, the picker will head to the packaging area, and the packer will prepare it according to the sales order.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

8. SHIPPING<\/h5>

After packing, the goods are given to the loader. The forklift will load the goods to the staging area and prepare for outbound shipping to the customer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Want a forklift supplier in Hampshire? Here\u2019s your proof:<\/h2>

New Forest Machinery LTD was keen to purchase an environmentally-friendly truck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For just shy of two decades, Locators have memorably assisted New Forest Machinery LTD as and when they needed help. This agricultural machinery and grounds care equipment retailer was in need of an environmentally-friendly truck.<\/p>\n

This is where Locators stepped in.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In addition to supplying an electric forklift, we guaranteed a minimum 5-year battery life with our Safepower battery maintenance scheme. For a small weekly cost, their traction batteries are regularly maintained by a specialist. This removes the need for the user to check and top up the batteries. It also eliminates all of the Health & Safety issues related to battery maintenance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe purchased our first Toyota forklift from Locators 14 years ago for our farm. This truck has been very reliable and is still in service so we had no hesitation in deciding to purchase another Toyota machine. Locators recommended an electric forklift for our machinery depot as it is very quiet, has low running costs and does not create any pollution, making it ideal for working both inside and outside. Our operators are very pleased with our new Toyota truck and our business is very happy to be operating a forklift that has such a low impact on the environment.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
