Continuous Improvement

Carolina Handling’s sustainability efforts are inherent with a product line rooted in the sales and service of electric forklifts, reach trucks, orderpickers and pallet jacks. 

With zero tailpipe emissions and greater potential for energy efficiency, our all-electric offerings give customers a clean alternative to gas- and diesel-powered material handling equipment.

As a lean management consultant, Carolina Handling also offers customers a key tool for achieving sustainability through principles such as reducing waste, lowering consumption and continuous improvement.

  • Efficiency

    By identifying and eliminating operational waste and focusing on the efficiency of resources, our lean management assessment team helps customers realize significant reduction in their environmental footprint.

  • Operating Sustainably

    Internally, our commitment to sustainable operations includes recycling programs at our Charlotte headquarters and five branch offices, as well as in our rental, renewed and new equipment installation shops. 

  • Recycling

    We recycle paper, cardboard, plastics, batteries, oil, metal and oil filters, and practice oil/water separation methods to protect the environment. Additionally, drive units, motors and other forklift parts are removed from scrap trucks for use on rebuilt units.
