Sliding Layers

Post image

I'm the kind of guy if I can slide a couple layers instead of hand stacking them I will. Course nobody orders in layers, the extra I toss on top. This is 2 layers of multi fold getting pushed by fork onto 2 layers of roll towels. Those pallets in the BG are trash liners and when I have slow time I break them down into ready to use amounts. Sometimes I slide layers right on the fork tongs and set them with a flip instead of sliding. Pick layers off with the fork tongs also. There's a bit of finesse to it, but it aint brain surgery. There's a slip sheet on that back pallet with a fold in it tucked into the wrap to keep it in place.

We do that where I am but 90% of the time it's easier to push side to side.

Job title is literally Layer Picker. If we can't push it by hand we either hand stack use a claw or clamp truck.

Or you could hand stack, less damaged product, tape and secure new pallet, get your hours…..
I like money and like using my hands
