Tip of the Week

BeaconTechnology.com Tip: Bulk material handling presents its own set of unique challenges--one of which has nothing to do with the operation itself, but rather choosing the right vendor for supplying your material handling equipment. Are you in the market for a new supplier? Are you wondering about your current supplier?

Assess the strengths of a given vendor by reviewing the literature that company puts out with regard to industry issues and usage of the equipment the company sells; bulk material handling white papers, product descriptions, instructions for use and safety, etc. Are these documents addressing current issues and concerns? Is there complete and well-written instructions with regard to safety? What are the company policies regarding customer support, on-site assistance and other critical issues that affect your bulk material handling equipment?

These are very important questions, and the answers could help you choose a company. You may discover that it's important to compare your current vendor with others to see how they are keeping up in today's marketplace with regard to these issues.
