Stop Relying on Guesswork 

Entering 2025, businesses have expressed optimism as they get ready to tackle new challenges – and some old ones – impacting their logistics operations, writes Wouter Satijn (pictured), Sales Director, Joloda Hydraroll.

Two constraints are particularly persistent: a shortage of labour and a lack of warehouse space. The good news is many solutions and strategies now exist to optimise processes and assets. But with more choice comes more complexity. The difficulty is knowing which direction is right to meet the future needs of the business and ensure long-term returns.

Automation is a proven route, but to maximise ROI, it needs to be introduced as part of a broader roadmap towards one seamless operation – and this is different for each business. To overcome systemic challenges like labour and space shortages, while increasing productivity to meet growth targets, companies need to build a detailed business case.

Shrinking workforce, rising wages

A shortage of workers to fill logistics roles has been a concern for several years, with an ageing workforce and fewer young people considering it a career path. The declining number of truck drivers globally is particularly alarming: without action, unfilled vacancies are projected to double by 2028. As a result, wages have climbed by up to 40% in recent years as companies compete for talent. This means businesses must recruit wisely and consider alternative ways to improve their logistics processes.
At the same time, it’s necessary to consider the operation end to end, taking into account areas of a factory, warehouse and distribution centre that may have previously been overlooked, such as the loading bay. More efficiently loading and unloading goods from trailers can lead to much faster, safer, and more reliable transportation between sites, which requires fewer people and less space. However, the right solution will not be one size and it won’t fit all.

Limited space, complex overhauls

The challenge of limited warehouse space is equally pressing. Brownfield sites are often complicated to overhaul with a fully automated operation due to space constraints, while companies leasing or renting warehouses face restrictions on how they modify their buildings. They are also looking for a solution that can be easily installed elsewhere. In the loading bay, without a clear path forward, businesses often focus on introducing new equipment such as Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) or Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) to accelerate otherwise manual processes. However, the scalability of this approach is limited. These vehicles can provide some quick wins, but it won’t be long before additional automation is required to keep up with growing demand. When adding automation in a piecemeal way, it can be more challenging to demonstrate the end vision and determine the return on investment.

Building the business case

Businesses need to work with partners who offer a full range of equipment and who will carefully assess their unique setups and challenges to ensure the right solution that integrates into their broader operation. This means businesses should expect to be able to calculate ROI and quantify full-scale benefits. Whether fully automated systems, or more simple but strategic solutions that can be added to over time, a clear roadmap will help ensure investments deliver lasting value.

In the case of the loading process, this means considering the following:
• The current loading process: how do you load? What do you load? Where is it going? And in which quantities?
• Design and manufacture of the resulting solution, ensuring longevity, reliability and performance. Is it built in-house and therefore customisable to your needs? Can the equipment be re-installed elsewhere?
• Complete management of installation, including testing, commissioning and training.
• Ongoing 24/7 maintenance and support.

Conclusion

By integrating automated systems, businesses can alleviate the strain of labour and space shortages, reduce operational costs in the long run, and improve overall productivity. The key is identifying the right solution and level of automation to match specific needs, entrenched within a solid business case and roadmap for sustainable growth.

BIFA award winners crowned

Peak periods, like the run-up to Christmas, remind us how easily materials handling operations can come under strain. With demands soaring and pressure mounting, even the most efficient operations can be pushed to their limits, writes Lee Longbottom of Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks.

Relying on hand pallet trucks could be holding your operation back. From legal compliance to workplace injuries, the costs of maintaining the status quo are often far higher than they appear. Power pallet trucks are a practical solution to common warehouse challenges, helping you work faster, safer, and more efficiently.

Let’s look at five key problems they can solve:

Handling heavy loads safely

Moving heavy loads is unavoidable. But relying on a hand pallet truck for the job? That’s a gamble. When shifting loads over medium or long distances they often fall short. Not only is this way slower, but it also increases the chance of damage to goods, racking, trucks… or even your staff.

It’s all too common to see hand pallet trucks pushed beyond their limits. Independent tests reveal that shifting a 2,000 kg load with a hand pallet truck requires an initial force of 49.6 kg — more than double the recommended limit for men and over three times the limit for women. Even keeping that load in motion exceeds guidelines by 53.3%.

It can be especially dangerous when stopping heavy loads, which often requires nearly twice the effort of keeping them in motion — particularly on wet or uneven surfaces.

Pedestrian power pallet trucks are the ideal alternative for shorter distances and confined spaces. They make moving heavy loads effortless with features like electric lift and drive, reducing operator strain and improving efficiency. For heavier or more frequent loads, platform power pallet trucks add a foldable or fixed ride-on platform, allowing operators to cover longer distances comfortably.

For even larger loads, sit-on and stand-in power pallet trucks (like the PREMiA EX range) can manage up to 3 tonnes, offering reliable performance — and braking — even in demanding conditions.

Navigating tight spaces

Warehouses and lorry trailers are notoriously busy, crowded, and often cluttered. Tight spaces can make even simple tasks frustrating. Hand pallet trucks require awkward three-point turns, slowing you down and increasing the risk of accidents.

Power pallet trucks, such as the PREMiA ES series, excel in confined areas. They’re built for agility. Their exceptionally short, compact chassis allows for seamless operation in very narrow aisles, maximising storage density.

Additionally, the market-leading lift height and linked castor wheels ensure stability when operating on ramps, loading docks, and uneven surfaces. Platform power pallet trucks with foldable operator platforms offer the same agility while allowing operators to switch between walk-behind and ride-on modes, adapting to the space available.

Features such as Dynamic Power Steering (found on PREMiA EX) make manoeuvring heavy items smoother and safer, ensuring steady control.

Both PREMiA EX models feature 360-degree steering. That means no more stopping for 3-point turns. By eliminating that pause, operators can pivot around smoothly, saving time with every turn. PREMiA trucks also feature an Intelligent Cornering System that automatically reduces speed during sharp turns.

What does this mean for you? Faster operations, fewer collisions, and better use of valuable storage space.

Staying on the right side of legislation

Operating hand pallet trucks in ways that exceed manual handling limits puts your business at risk of legal penalties. Under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, employers must minimise risks associated with moving heavy loads. Failing to comply could result in prosecution, unlimited fines, and even imprisonment.

Switching to power pallet trucks helps ensure compliance. By drastically reducing the physical effort required to move loads, you’ll meet health and safety standards, protecting your business from legal and financial repercussions.

Reducing injuries

Using a hand pallet truck significantly raises the likelihood of workplace injuries, including repetitive strain injuries (RSIs) and back problems. These injuries are not just physically painful — they’re costly too. For example, in the Netherlands alone, RSIs cost businesses €2.1 billion annually, including €808 million in lost productivity.

Power pallet trucks dramatically reduce the physical effort needed to move loads, helping to prevent these injuries. Their advanced stability and control features also reduce the chance of accidents, keeping both operators and goods safe. Investing in power pallet trucks means fewer absences and a healthier, more productive workforce.

Future proofing

Material handling requirements are constantly evolving, driven by changes in customer demand, regulations, and technology. Hand pallet trucks are simply not equipped to keep up with these shifting needs.

Powered pallet trucks provide the flexibility and durability to handle a wider variety of load weights and sizes. You’ll be more easily able to adapt to future challenges. With features designed to reduce downtime, prevent injuries, and streamline operations, they’re an investment for the long-term.

Next steps

Powered pallet trucks are more than just a convenience — they’re a smarter, safer choice for your business. They reduce risks, improve efficiency, and help you stay ahead in a competitive market.

New Pallet Truck Bids to Reduce Manual Handling Injuries

This is the motto under which industrial truck specialist Clark is presenting its new Crossover series for the first time at LogiMAT 2025 in Stuttgart in hall 10, stand 10B78. These are a perfect combination of the proven features of an IC engine-powered forklift truck and environmentally friendly electric drives – without compromising on performance. In addition to the new COP2 order picking truck, other highlights include the new STE/SE three- and four-wheel forklift trucks with load capacities of 1.6 to 2 tonnes, which complement the S-Series Electric with additional models.

The right crossover model for every application

From 11 to 13 March 2025, visitors to the trade fair will be able to take a look at the two new L25-35XE and S25-35XE crossover series with load capacities of 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes for the first time. The crossover electric forklift trucks are the next logical step for Clark in its endeavours to further electrify the counterbalance truck product range and significantly increase performance. To this end, Clark has combined the advantages of electric forklift trucks with the versatility and robustness of traditional IC engine-powered forklift trucks, setting new standards in material handling.

The Crossover series has proven itself especially in demanding environments and intensive applications. This proves that electric forklift trucks can also cope with intensive use and can therefore replace combustion engines. With their advanced lithium-ion battery technology, the Crossover electric forklift trucks achieve long operating times with short charging times. This significantly increases efficiency in warehouses and production facilities. Another special feature: Clark is launching the new Crossover series with a product name for the first time in a long time. For example, the L25-35XE is being marketed under the name ‘Raider’ and the S25-35XE under the name ‘Renegade’.

The Raider series (L25-35XE) opens the door to the crossover segment. It offers operators an environmentally friendly, solid and reliable alternative to forklift trucks with combustion engines. With excellent all-round visibility, predictable handling and proven Clark masts, the Raider range is cost effective and built to last.

The Renegade range (S25-35XE) is designed for operators who want the benefits of the Clark S-Series – Smart. Strong. Safe. – not want to do without. Built on the proven chassis of the S-Series IC engine-powered forklifts, the models, like the S-Series Electric, have extensive features and set new standards in terms of efficiency, safety and comfort. These powerful and very quiet electric forklift trucks combine modern technology with an emission-free, environmentally friendly and extremely effective drive. Like all S-Series Electric trucks, they are equipped with an impressive range of safety functions and customisable options, offering maximum flexibility for a wide variety of applications.

‘We are delighted to launch the Raider and Renegade crossover electric forklift truck ranges, which not only significantly increase efficiency, but also ensure environmentally friendly and sustainable material flow,’ explains Thomas Bach, R&D Director at Clark Europe. ‘The Raider and Renegade crossover electric forklift trucks are the perfect solution for companies that want to remain competitive in an ever-changing logistics world.’

STE/SE three- and four-wheel electric forklifts for the highest demands

Another highlight at the Clark stand will be the 48-volt electric three- and four-wheel forklifts from the STE16-20 and SE16-20 series with a load capacity of 1.6 to 2.0 tonnes. These are available with lead-acid or lithium-ion batteries and, like their 80-volt counterparts, are part of the S-Series Electric. Here, too, the operator has the option of changing the vehicle’s energy source without any major additional effort (plug & play) if the application requirements change. Only the software needs to be adapted accordingly. The vehicles can therefore be operated with both the classic lead-acid battery and the Clark lithium-ion battery. With this smart battery solution, the electric forklift trucks can be adapted to almost any application scenario.

With the new environmentally friendly Clark electric forklift truck series, which are designed for a wide range of applications, Clark fulfils the desire of many operators to make their intralogistics more sustainable and climate-neutral. With numerous ergonomic improvements and modern safety functions, they ensure maximum efficiency with a low total cost of ownership.

New order picker for the second shelf level

Clark is also presenting sustainable product innovations in the warehouse technology sector: For example, Clark is presenting a new order picker with Li-Ion technology. With a maximum lifting height of 6.30 metres, the COP2 is designed for order picking tasks on the second shelf level. The compact vertical order picker is equipped with a driver’s platform that can be raised to 4.80 m and self-supporting forks, so that the operator can pick directly onto the pallet with the platform raised. The COP2 has been designed to be extremely stable so that it remains stable even at maximum lifting height.
