Gain an Edge: Yale Pallet Jacks with the Direct Store Delivery Package
With a host of efficiencies for manufacturers and retailers alike, Direct Store Delivery (DSD) has become an increasingly popular way for businesses to supply stores with their products. By bypassing retail distribution centers, suppliers can speed delivery times for perishable or high demand products and gain more control over merchandise replenishment and displays at the retail level. Direct Store Delivery has been adopted by food, beverage, personal care as well as many different service supply industries.
The one challenge that DSD strategy poses for truck drivers is the availability of necessary equipment to unload product from trailer into store. Reliance on store owned equipment is not ideal for quick and efficient unloading and poses challenges to meeting a full day of truck deliveries in a timely fashion.
Always keeping a finger on the pulse of customer needs, Yale responded to the growth of DSD with electric pallet jacks equipped with an industry exclusive “Direct Store Delivery Package”, a set of features optimized specifically for the demands of a DSD distribution strategy. Learn more about what the Direct Store Delivery Package can offer with this overview from Barclay Brand Ferdon.
What Makes DSD Pallet Jacks Unique
In addition to the standard features of motorized Yale pallet jacks, the DSD models come outfitted with the following:
Exclusive handle design to give operators complete control over the pallet jack
Movable load bracket and single-fork configuration to accommodate loads of various shapes and sizes
Load retention strap to secure each load, making it ideal for items that require special handling
One-hand throttle activation that enables excellent visibility and allows operators to work closer to the truck
Mid-mount steer handle and creep speed functionality for use in narrow aisles and tight spaces while moving and delivering products
Fully optimized for the needs of delivery truck drivers, these pallet jacks support fast loading and unloading and energy efficiency and offer a rugged, flexible design built for the productivity mindset essential to DSD operations.
The Advanced Performance Power System
The Direct Store Delivery package for Yale pallet jacks is a product of innovation boasting a host of award-winning features. As an industry first, we’re seeing a UL-recognized, factory-installed lithium-ion battery used to power a pallet truck—as opposed to the conventional lead acid battery configuration.
This is significant, because lithium-ion batteries are much more energy efficient and easier to maintain. There are no spills, fumes or cleaning necessary for a lithium-ion battery, which means less oversight and more productivity.

Our Process for Pre-Owned Warehouse Equipment
While used warehouse equipment is more affordable than purchasing new equipment, if not purchased from a reputable provider, it can often cost you more in the long run. You can count on Barclay to supply the safest, most reliable products that will be matched to your materials handling application and budget. From start to finish, here’s a behind-the-scenes look at our pre-owned equipment process that explains how we source and prepare each piece of used equipment before delivery to our customer.
Robotic Lift Trucks For Automated Materials Handling
Increasing productivity in your warehouse or distribution center could be as simple as automating repetitive picking tasks to free up your workers and maximize labor efficiency. Robotic lift trucks make automated material handling a reality! Barclay Brand Ferdon is a material handling equipment company in South Plainfield, New Jersey, serving Central and Northern New Jersey. We have the equipment you need to streamline your operation, including the latest robotic lift trucks on the market.
Task Automation
Automation promises to bring new levels of efficiency and productivity to distributors in a wide array of industries. However, optimizing material handling operations and driving sound ROI starts with automating the right processes for your business. Look for processes that are:
Repetitive, with little variation
Subject to high employee turnover
Troubled with other inefficiencies
Automation Benefits
It just makes sense to automate your warehouse or distribution center with robotic lift trucks once you realize all the benefits you’ll enjoy. Automation with a robotic lift truck offers:
An infrastructure free operation, because it uses your existing structural features, such as walls, racks and columns to self-locate and navigate it
Rapid deployment, because it can run with zero, partial or full integration with your warehouse management systems.
Scalability, because you can start small and expand with your operational needs.
Flexibility to accommodate your changing operational needs by allowing you to switch to manual operating mode with the simple touch of any button.
Where Does It Make Sense In Your Warehouse Or Distribution Center?
Dock to Stock: A robotic lift truck can take over the long hauls from the receiving dock to the stock room.
Low-value Added Tasks: A robotic lift truck can execute low-value added tasks, which effectively frees up staff and helps lower labor expenses.
Stock to Dock: A robotic lift truck can also run merchandise from the stockroom to the loading dock. Integrate your warehouse management systems to provide visibility of load movement and increase accuracy.
Long Load Transfers: A robotic lift truck can easily transfer loads over long distances without taking up any of your workers’ valuable time.
Increasing Productivity: Dispatch multiple robotic lift trucks simultaneously and increase productivity even further.
