Magline innovations are almost always driven by customer demand. An important customer of Magline needed a new kind of bottled water truck to eliminate their route sales representatives from picking up one or two bottles by hand to carry to their customers. The customer noted that most of the hand trucks in use by their company were designed for a lot more bottles. The hand trucks they used were conducive to moving five or more bottles, so the sales representatives were carrying the bottles by hand. The customer knew that the best way to minimize physical stress and ergonomic risk factors usually involved mechanical aid, like a hand truck.
Magline’s Trayless Bottled Water Truck is a lighter weight truck, made of aluminum instead of steel. It weighs in at only 20 pounds, about half the weight of a steel truck. The unique frame geometry cradles the bottles for safe handling, and the bottles are kept in place without clamps or lids, held in by the weight and friction of the bottles themselves.
The customer seeking this solution was an industrial engineer and knew the ergonomic challenges faced by his company due to the sheer weight and volume of product they deal with every day. Known for home and office bottle water delivery, three and five-gallon bottle for coolers, and also single serve products including case water characterize the kind of transport challenge.
