Does your workstation have the right tool for the job––or are you improvising?
Improvising may seem like a quick solution, but it will only get you so far. Having an appropriate tool that withstands the workload will end up saving you time and money in the future.
Improvising is more common than you might think!
Nearly 20 years ago, the US Bureau of Engraving and Printing was in a bind. They were using forklifts to move barrels of ink around their facility. Not only did this present many safety hazards, it was also not an efficient product-handling practice!
Wesco recommended the DM-1100 ergonomic drum handler as the ideal solution. They purchased the DM-1100 through a distributor and never looked back. We didn’t hear from them again for over fifteen years. They recently called to order a spare wheel, which we provided. They’ve been using the DM-1100s on a daily basis in a rugged environment with no product failures to speak of.
Needless to say, they are very happy with their purchase. They’ve spent the past fifteen plus years not having to worry about their equipment. Having the right tool to meet the warehouse’s challenges increased their productivity and instilled confidence in their employees. That’s what happens when you prioritize quality.
Remember, even the right tool for the job is not so helpful if it is low quality. You want to be making one service call every fifteen years, not every fifteen months!
Many buyers will purchase based on the lowest initial price. The better way to consider price is from the perspective of lifetime cost of ownership. Not only does a low-quality tool need more frequent replacing, but it also costs more in terms of downtime as employees wait for a replacement, and in the time your warehouse managers have to spend calling in replacement parts.
Wesco tools are competitively priced and built to last. Our products live up to the rigors of the warehouse. Choosing Wesco means your warehouse manager won’t have to spend time chasing down replacement parts, and your warehouse staff won’t lose productivity to downtime.
Employees who use quality tools get to see and feel the benefits.
Employees who work with high-quality, well-designed tools are happier in their work environments. Studies show that outfitting your warehouse with the proper tools that are built to last can also boost employment longevity. When workers spend their days handling high-quality equipment that increases their job satisfaction and prioritizes their safety, they want to stick around!
