Published: 12/29/2021

Material handling lift production is on the rise as the supply chain demands continue to skyrocket into the new year. This has caused several upticks in specific orders among several major distribution industries. From the increased production of legalized cannabis’ growing operations, to the automation in wood manufacturing, Autoquip has aided businesses throughout their manufacturing and distribution process through customized material handling lift solutions.

Material Handling Lifts for Cannabis

Since its legalization in 2016, cannabis has become a powerhouse within the United States. In fact, the U.S. cannabis market is projected to exceed $30 billion in sales in the next year considering the new markets like Alabama, Connecticut, and New Mexico. Whether it’s through growing and harvesting, multi-level processing, or supply distribution, our team has been able to help these companies succeed in this ever-growing industry.

Those in the cannabis business often require custom material handling equipment for their unique facilities. Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors (VRCs) can be designed and manufactured to help transport large quantities of inventory, supplies, and more. Our team can provide custom lifting equipment to encourage more capabilities while improving overall efficiency for multi-level processing and grow facilities.

Automated Lifts for Wood Production

Woodworking demands precision and care. As such, finding the right automation to work with sensitive or textured surfaces, complex shapes, and optimized cycle times is a must. Freeing up shop labor, while still maintaining streamlined processes, can make a big difference in your business’ bottom line. 

We can create a customized, foot-operated saw-feed or plane-feed lifts for elevation adjustments, pneumatic and hydraulic lifts for delicate furniture assembly, and much more. No matter the project, our team of experts can build an automated lifting solution to keep your production lines moving and order fulfillment flourishing. 

Custom Automation for Distribution

In today’s world, customers expect speedy shipping times and delivery dates. As such, distribution remains one of the fastest-moving industries in the world. Autoquip has helped position distribution centers to achieve more productivity through our extensive line of custom material handling equipment.

To ensure products are properly moved across the supply chain, we supply reliable lifting solutions through custom-tailored machinery. This can include integrating high cycle mechanical lifts with automated systems and equipping hydraulic scissor lifts with powered conveyor belts. Additionally, it could be transferring products to mezzanine level through high-performance freight lifts (also known as VRCs).
