We do not own a pallet jack so we will
probably need to purchase one or two, preferably used, when we get our next
warehouse space. If there is a dock, then we can use pallet jacks to load and
unload trucks. If we don’t have a dock, we need a forklift.
Another situation requiring a forklift is
loading or unloading a pickup truck. Their beds are too low for a dock and the
use of a pallet jack. We typically use a pickup truck for steel (tin) recycling
runs to Gertrude on Saturday mornings, but we could use a stake-bed truck as
well. Anything larger would be difficult to off load at Gertrude where the
sides of a box truck would interfere with tossing the tin from the gaylords on
to a pile on the ground, not to mention maneuvering a large truck around the
yard. Gertrude doesn’t provide (or allow) forklifts in the yard so material
handling is manual.

Ah, I was unaware that small
forklift belonged to us. Do we have a pallet jack too or would we have to
purchase one? In a storage area like this where everything is on the floor, I
don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that the forklift doesn't fit (though
it would be optimal to find warehouse storage where we could continue to use
it.) Anyone can operate a pallet jack as opposed to the few that could drive
the forklift. A group focused on recycling shouldn't be too worried about
exerting a little bit of human effort instead of using a large machine that
would be overkill :)
