Cross-docking involves unloading goods from an incoming truck and loading them directly onto an outbound truck, with little to no storage time in between. This allows for faster turnaround times and reduced handling costs.
One of the challenges is handling a wide variety of pallet sizes because, with the huge diversity of customers, the number of pallet sizes is at least as diverse. Euro pallets, but also block pallets and unique (long/wide) pallets, need to be handled, preferably with the same forklift.
With the KOOI® ReachForks, the forklift driver has many more options and can extend the ReachForks if the pallets deviate from the standard, always giving the pallets adequate support and picking up one or two pallets at a time. KOOI® ReachForks save time and prevent damage.
