Increase Output With Case Sealers!
A case sealer is a piece of equipment used primarily for industrial packaging, to seal cartons and boxes during the packaging process and prepare them for shipment. There are two main types of case sealers: semi and fully automatic.
Semi automatic case sealers require human interference to manually close the main flaps of the box or container. A fully automatic case sealer requires no human interference when sealing cartons and boxes for shipment. Adding a case sealer to your equipment line can increase your output by as much as 600%. If your business is manually sealing at least 250 boxes a day, you can see a return on your investment within months!
Here are some additional benefits to adding a case sealer to your production line:
- Eliminate product damage: using staples, straps, or glue have an increased chance of damaging the product when packaging
- Increase productivity: sealing rates up to 6x faster than manual means less production time and increase output rates
- Enhance packaging: On the shelf packaging appears neater, than with manually over-taped packaging and human error
Add a case sealer to your production line and start seeing an increase in output today! Yankee Supply has new and used case sealers in stock. https://www.yankeesupply.com/
Hand trucks vs. Dollies: Which one is right for you?
Whether you own a business, or have a workshop at home chances are you’re going to have to move heavy items from time to time. There are so many options to choose from when it comes to moving equipment, but which one will be the most effective, and get the job done as painlessly as possible?
We can break down moving equipment into two main categories, hand trucks and dollies:
Hand trucks are upright metal frames with large wheels that transport materials by tilting back on itself allowing for the materials to be wheeled freely.
Benefits of hand trucks:
– Multiple options/ variations available to fit every job type
– Help reduce the likelihood of workplace injury
– Durable, and built to last
– Handles make it easy to maneuver
– Can be used to transport materials down stairs, or curbs
Dollies are small platforms with castors or rollers underneath that allow heavy objects to be stacked on top of the platform and transport them freely.
Benefits of dollies:
– Ideal for small spaces, such as tight hallways
– Moves heavy or large objects smoothly
– Reduces the likelihood of workplace injury
Whether your job requires a hand truck or a dollie, Yankee Supply has a wide selection of new and used moving equipment to fit any job- big or small! Browse our selection online: https://www.yankeesupply.com/

Move Inventory Effortlessly with Ball Transfer Tables!
Ball transfer tables are used when products need to be manually rotated and positioned, allowing for easy assembly, inspection, and testing. This makes rotation of heavy cartons, bins, and other inventory trouble-free. Ball transfer tables are unique in the way that they allow products to flow in any direction.
Ball transfer tables are made with friction free steel balls allowing for inventory to easily glide in any direction. They can be floor mounted as well as placed on H-stands to adjust for the work space.
A few reasons why ball transfer tables are useful are they make ideal workstations for industries that require quick and easy handling of products. When two or more conveyors meet, the inventory must be transferred from one line to another- this can be made easier with the addition of ball transfer tables. These systems allow for effortless repositioning of large or heavy inventory.

Increasing Efficiency with Pallet Flow Systems
Pallet flow systems or flow-racks are pallet storage systems that utilize wheels or rollers to convey and accumulate pallets. Anywhere from two to twenty pallets can be stored, giving you a higher storage density system than with other racks. Pallets are loaded from one end then picked up at the other allowing for first-in-first-out storage. The addition of pallet flow systems can save as much as 75% more space within your facility.
Not only will the addition of a pallet flow system increase efficiency it will also maximize safety. These storage systems are built with only the strongest materials which means they will be able to withstand your heaviest pallets and offer a sturdy storage solution.

Storage Made Easy with Push Back Racks
Looking for an efficient high-density storage system? Push back racks might be the answer you’re looking for!
What is a push back rack, and how does it work? Push back pallet racks combine a stationary rack with nested carts that move along a sliding rail system. When the first pallet is loaded from the front, it sits on the first cart. Once additional pallets are loaded, it pushes the previous pallets to the back. Push back racks manage inventory from a last in- first out basis.
A few of the benefits of Push Back pallet racks are they offer a more efficient use of limited warehouse space as you can store up to 90% more products than you would with other storage systems. These systems offer dense storage and allow for products to be easily accessible. Pallets can be stored two to six pallets deep offering extensive storage. These systems provide high-density storage with the option of selective racking systems. Thus, this makes it an obvious choice for compact spaces.

Banding Made Easy!
If you’re looking to learn more about the process and benefits of Banding when it comes to material handling, you’re in luck! We’re here to help. Banding, otherwise known as Strapping, is the process of applying a band to your material in order to unitize it. It can be used when bundling multiple products together, or to secure secondary packaging closed!
Steel is the oldest, most durable strapping material of all. It is used for items that require the most heavy duty holding where high strength and minimal stretch is ideal. When it comes to strapping, there are two major types of hand tools: manual and automatic. Manual tensioners and crimping systems are used for low volume applications, while automatic hand tools are used for high volume applications. For steel straps, both manual and automatic hand sealers can use a seal or seal-less joint.
There are many other ways banding proves to be useful. These include attaching items to pallets, skids, and crates, securing coils of steel or paper, closing corrugated boxes and shipping containers, and attaching items to flatcars or flatbed semi-trailers.
If you’re looking for banding material and tools to get the job done, we got you covered!
Give us a call to talk to our professionals about banding and how we can help your material handling process.
Get Rolling With Casters!
Casters are essential to material handling and although they may seem simple, there are many parts of this piece. Each part will affect the mobility of whichever object they’re attached to. If you’re curious to learn more about Casters and how they function, you’ve come to the right place!
The first type of caster we’re going to talk about is a swivel caster. It features a wheel mounted to a fork(or a horn), which is mounted to a swivel join that pivots. These specific casters are able to rotate a full 360º to allow the wheel to roll in all directions. The second type is a Rigid caster. These feature a wheel that is mounted to a stationary fork (a horn) and can only roll along a straight line path.
There are a few benefits to using Casters when handling material. The first is mobility, adding them to any equipment piece will make transporting it throughout a facility in order to much easier, supporting its processing and handling. Another major benefit is ergonomics- with them facilitating motion, they are able to decrease the physical strain on the individuals navigating these hauls. The last benefit is transportation. Casters make storage and the manufacturing process much simpler, since they help to expedite the travel process of these parts throughout the facility.
Thinking about making your material handling process more efficient with Casters? We’re here to help!
