Overcome Your Biggest Material Handling Challenges
Burns Industrial Equipment's material handling lineup can help ensure your dock hits its turnaround windows and keep freight moving through your facility.
Cross-Docking Throughput
Cross-Docking Throughput
In a cross-docking facility, speed is everything. We offer cross-docking forklifts that are built for rapid trailer entry and exit, with tight turning radii, low-profile masts and the power to keep pallet cycles moving. Burns Industrial Equipment carries Hyster and Yale forklifts engineered for fast-turnaround environments, and our sales team will help you identify the right configuration for your dock layout and freight volume.
LTL Freight Operational Efficiency
LTL Freight Operational Efficiency
Less-than-truckload terminals handle high volumes of mixed freight across multiple dock doors on tight schedules. Effective LTL freight material handling requires equipment that holds up under consistent, daily use. Essential items can include walkie pallet trucks, end riders and industrial tow tractors that move product efficiently from the inbound dock to the outbound trailer without stalling the sort.
Our lineup includes pallet trucks and tow tractors built for the repetitive demands of LTL operations, with new, used and rental options to fit your volume and budget.
Equipment Reliability

An out-of-service forklift on a busy dock slows your entire operation.

Our fleet management solutions give operations managers full visibility into utilization, service history and costs across the entire fleet.
