Liftrucks, Etc. Boosts Hannibal Inventory to Meet Growing Demand in Rocky Mountain States

Full-service Material Handling Company Becomes Latest Hannibal Master Dealer

Hannibal Industries, one of the largest steel pallet rack manufacturers in the U.S., today announced that Liftrucks Etc., a major material handling supplier in the Rocky Mountain states has become a master dealer, securing a consistent amount of Hannibal's pallet rack for its customers located in the region.

A Hannibal partner for nearly a decade, Liftrucks Etc. recently earned the new/elevated status by expanding its inventory of the steel rack manufacturer's products to meet the growing demand in Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana for warehouse planning and efficiency. The company is currently adding a new building to its existing facilities to handle the area's growth.


Liftrucks Etc. owner, Dave Peck pointed to its long-standing and strong relationship with Hannibal, saying: "We feel Hannibal's products are far superior to anybody else's in the steel pallet industry, and that is why we want to stock it. Having the increased inventories helps us complete projects for our customers quickly and efficiently."

According to Steve Rogers, Hannibal's Vice President, "Our relationship with Liftrucks, Etc. serves as a model for all of our partners, and we are honored that after almost a decade, they continue to recommend and install our products to its customers across the Rocky Mountain area."

As a valued partner, the master distributor has made a commitment to purchasing Hannibal Rack products and always holding a stock inventory. This way, if a racking need or project arises locally in the master distributor's area, the distributor is able to provide product on demand.

Liftrucks, Etc. was founded in 2009 and like its name suggests, initially exclusively sold lift trucks. Since then, the company has expanded to offer a full-spectrum of end-to-end warehousing solutions, including a wide range of pallet rack configurations, conveyor systems, consulting and engineering services - and of course, new and used lift trucks.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
