The idiom “Don’t put the cart before the horse” illustrates the importance of approaching events or life in the correct order — e.g., before someone has the money in hand, avoid making plans on how to spend it. In beverage distribution operations, hand trucks and carts are indispensable pieces of material handling equipment that help transport heavy, bulky beverage cases from delivery trucks to point-of-sale at retail stores.
Quite simply, hand-operated hand trucks and carts facilitate moving products from point A to point B, making direct-store-delivery (DSD) tasks easier and more productive, and most importantly, safer. The rise in eCommerce also has necessitated the need for effective, efficient equipment to maneuver heavy loads while ergonomically protecting employee’s backs, knees and shoulders from heavy lifting.
