A loaded pallet is ready near the dispatch area. The operator is waiting, the truck is available, but movement is still slow. The problem is not always manpower. It is not always the racking layout either. In many warehouses, the real issue is that the wrong type of truck is being used for the job. ...

The packaging machine slowing production may not be failing. It may have been the wrong choice from the beginning.

Running a high-volume freight operation means every minute on the warehouse floor counts. For 3PL providers, express courier hubs, and freight forwarders across the UAE, one of the most persistent bottlenecks has been something surprisingly basic — accurate pallet dimensioning before freight moves.
