Below are some handy tips to help you prepare your home for cooler weather:

STORAGE AND PROTECTION

Look into some new storage options to make sure you have somewhere to keep your outdoor items that are safe and secure.  This includes everything in your garage, shed, etc.  A color coded system of storage bins works well for sorting small things, while heavy duty wire shelving or open steel shelving will work for heavier objects.  You also need to ensure that your outdoor furniture is protected from the elements with tarps to avoid cold moisture which can freeze and cause damage.

PREPARE YOUR GARDEN FOR SPRING

Everything you can do to help your lawn and garden survive the cold will pay dividends in the spring.  That means keeping up with regular mowing and watering of grass, and clearing fallen leaves.  Furthermore, the perennials in your garden should be trimmed with pruning shears.  Also, keep your patio areas from getting grimy and slippery by pressure washing them.

PREPARE FOR ICY WEATHER

As Fall moves towards winter, icy mornings will become more common and you need to ensure that the weather doesn’t affect your ability to go about your daily business.  Driveway heating cables will help you do that by eliminating unwanted ice.  Moreover, de-icing cables can be used to eliminate ice on roofs to avoid ice dams and snow buildup.

INVEST IN LIGHTING

As the nights will become darker earlier in the coming months, you may need to think about adding more illumination to your yard or outdoor pathway to give you better access after the sun goes down, and also boost your overall security. During the Fall and Winter season, outdoor lighting becomes very important.

1.) Recruit a friend and the job will seem easier. You could clean and organize your place this weekend and do theirs the following weekend.

2.) Be prepared to get rid of unwanted or unused items. Assess how much you have in your garage that you use on a regular basis. Anything covered in dust from last year can probably be packed away.  Also, consider having a yard sale if you have unwanted power or hand tools, as there is always demand for those items.

3.) As you size up what you store in your garage, determine the best way to organize your items. Do you only need to separate small things, like craft materials, jewelry, screws, nuts, bolts, nails and screwdrivers?  A color coded system of storage bins (D1163244) is what’s best.  If you have power tools cluttering your work bench and garage floor, it’s a good idea to install shelving.  Either heavy duty wire shelving (D1101222) or open steel shelving (D1170895) will work depending on how much you have and how heavy it is.

4.) Don’t clean and organize your garage only to have it return to its messy conditions. Ever hear the expression “plan twice, build once?”  Think of organizing your garage like this:  “organize once, reorganize never again.

5.) A pressure washer (D1774621) is not only a good idea for cleaning your siding and patio, but also a method to remove paint and other stains that have accumulated over time on your driveway. Various attachments and cleaners are on the market to help you do a thorough job.  Once you finish, inspect your driveway for cracks.  Is it time to have it resealed?

If your warehouse isn’t set up correctly with the proper items and materials, your whole operation will struggle to satisfy customer demand and you could end up spending more time and money than what is necessary in order to achieve basic functions.

Below are some of the essential items and materials that most warehouses require to run a business efficiently and effectively.

Shelving – A warehouse without shelves is just a big room full of things that nobody can find, so having the proper shelving for your products is key to how successful your warehouse operations will be. Industrial steel shelving will offer you reliability and heavy duty durability, both of which are exactly what you’ll be looking for. If you need more flexible and portable shelving options, consider investing in some wire shelving as well.

Even more storage options – It’s not all about the shelves of course. Depending on what your warehouse needs to store, you may need something more suited for smaller items, which is where stacking bins and foldable storage containers could fit the bill. If you are going to use pallets, pallet rack netting will help you keep them secure.

Wheels – When you’ve got your storage sorted, you will still need to transport items around the warehouse, and this will need to be appropriate for various sized products. Pallet truck jacks will move around large and heavy items on pallets with surprisingly good maneuvrability, while folding dollies will do the job for smaller items.

SKU# D1140706

Shipping materials – Most warehouses will have to ship out various items to customers or retailers, so yours will need to have the right equipment to do this efficiently. Floor scales offer the ability to weigh bulky items with a minimum of disruption to warehouse activities while bench scales or crane hanging scales can be used for smaller items. Fragile stickers and labels can also be used for packaging products.

SKU #D1047070

Safety equipment – No responsible warehouse owner can take risks with his staff’s safety, so you will need to take the necessary precautions. Whether it’s having the right alarms installed, first aid kits and stations, protective clothing or footwear, you need to make sure that you have taken into account the specific hazards present in your warehouse and supplied all the correct items and materials to make it as safe as possible.

Suddenly, instead of having a handy place to store important items, your garage or tool shed has become a disaster zone and you can no longer find anything that you stored away in the first place. It’s time to take control, but where do you start? Here are some tips for cleaning and organizing a garage or tool shed:

Start From Scratch – The first thing you need to do is get ruthless. The only way to properly clean and organize your shed or garage is to empty it out first. For starters, you’ll actually find all those things you haven’t seen for 15 years be able to take stock of everything. Secondly, you’ll finally be able to get everything clean! Throw away, recycle or donate the things you don’t need anymore and you’ll be well on your way to a storage space that actually makes sense.

Get Scrubbing – Once your garage or shed is empty, you need to do a full deep clean to get rid of all of the dust, dirt and cobwebs. Make sure you have the right equipment, which needs to be more janitorial and industrial than your everyday cleaning materials due to the types of surfaces you’ll be cleaning. The main tip for how to clean is to start from the top and work down, ensuring you aren’t knocking cobwebs down onto cleaner surfaces.

Give It New Life – Once everything is clean, you have the chance to add some decoration, whether it’s painting the floor or the walls to make everything look and feel fresh and new. It’s also a good chance to add new lighting options inside to brighten things up and make it easier to find things.

Correct Your Storage Options – You’ve got everything ready to go back into the garage or shed. It’s all clean, painted and lit up like new! What you need here is critical and that’s the proper storage and shelving options to make your life easier. Whether it’s industrial shelving, cabinets or bins and containers, there are many different options out there to suit your specific needs and making the right decisions now will help determine how successful the entire project will be in the years to come.

Although this is a commendable act, storage can be a problem when downsizing.  However, there are many clever and innovate ways you can create added storage space. Consider the following when preparing to downsize to a smaller home or office.

• Under Bed Storage – Elevate your bed so that you can store bins or baskets underneath. This is a great place for extra bedding such as blankets, pillows and sheets.

• Bench Storage – Place a trunk or storage bench at the foot of your bed. Along with added seating, it will also provide you with additional storage for clothing or other items.

• Vertical/Open Cabinets and Shelves – Why open? When you opt for open cabinets or shelves, you can make better use of bins or drawers. Both attractive and functional, along with helping to organize, they can also add color and enhance the style of your space. Build cabinets as high as possible in your kitchen and bath. Store rarely used items high and out of reach.

• Added Kitchen Storage – Attach file folders to the sides of cabinets or on the kitchen wall to store large utensils, foil or wax paper for easy access.

• Added Bathroom Storage – In lieu of a mirror, place a cabinet or shelf over the sink. You can also get added storage with an over the toilet shelving unit or medicine cabinet.

• Safe boxes – organize and store personal documents and valuables using a durable electric lock safe.

Often, your home must also serve as an office space. This will require lots of creativity and innovative design ideas. Most importantly, your furniture pieces will need to be multi-functional. For example, your dining table can serve as a desk and a trunk as both a coffee table and storage unit.

Floor scales are used in a number of different applications. In warehouses, they are used to weight pallets. In general, a scale with a limit of 5,000 pounds and a base of 4 feet by 4 feet would suffice for weighing pallets. Plus, these high-capacity scales are used for shipping – to weigh large parcels; for warehouse inventory – allowing users to weigh parts, rather than count them; and in some cases, for weighing livestock. For livestock, there is a specific type of floor scale, called an animal scale, that is typically used.

Understanding Floor Scale Load Limits

The load capacity of your scale is one of the most important determining factors to consider. Typically, loads are offered in kilograms or pounds. For example, 3,000 and 5,000 kg loads are very common for scales. This would translate to about 6,500 or 11,000 pounds. In general, pallet scales average about 5,000 pounds, while there are 30,000+ pound scales available.

Secondly, scales are often marked with load capacity, as well as an incremental figure. For example, you might see a floor scale marked as 5,000 lbs x 5 lbs. This refers to the increments that the scale measures in. Thus, when weighing an object on this scale, measurements would be delivered in 5-pound increments, starting at 5, and then 10, and then 15, up to 5,000 pounds. Increments can be very precise, as little as one-half pound or lower.

Choosing the Right Platform

Another consideration is the size of the scale’s base or platform. Pallet scales typically measure about 4 feet by 4 feet, but there are many different types available. For example, Deelat’s 5,000kg scale has a 2-meterX1.5-meter base (or about 6.5 feet by 5 feet). In general, the size of the scale that you need is determined by the application. For example, measurements are most precise if the object that is being weighed fits entirely on the scale’s platform. Standard pallets measure about 40 inches by 48 inches, and thus, a 48-inch X 48-inch (4ftX4ft) scale is often the best.

It’s also important to recognize the platform’s support system. Often, scales are built with supports that resemble I-beams that can withstand the scale’s load capacity. Scales may have legs, but these scales are typically not as sturdy as those with the I-beam supports.

Types of Scales

There are many different types of floor scales, and often, they’re differentiated by their load capacity and the size of their platforms. A few different types include:

• Bench scales: These are the lowest capacity floor scale, and they’re ideal for weighing objects that are above standard scale limits but that are far below the load capacity of pallet scales. These scales have much smaller platforms, and typical load limits are about 750 pounds maximum.
• Platform Scales: Platform scales are a type of floor scale. The biggest difference is that platform scales are much more portable, while floor scales are often designed to be installed in a stationary position. Platform scales also have slightly lower capacities up to about 2,500 pounds.
• Livestock Scales: Animal scales are specially designed floor scales. Often, they have a caging system to keep the animal in place during weighing.
• Truck/Vehicle scales: These are the highest capacity floor scale, and they are designed to accommodate vehicles. Their load capacities range up to 50,000 pounds or more.
