How Magliner Equipment Makes Moving Kegs (and Everything Else in a Craft Brewery) a Snap

1. How Magliner Equipment Makes Moving Kegs (and Everything Else in a Craft Brewery) a Snap Fairly recently, two groups have made massive contributions to the lives of ordinary people— Magline and the Brewers Association (BA). The BA is a not-for-profit trade association representing tens of thousands of small and independent craft brewers. That’s a lot of beer, and a lot of businesses ran by families and entrepreneurs. With a lot of beer to be produced, processed, packaged, and then poured for a lot of thirsty people, craft brewers have a lot of work to do before the pour. Thankfully for those who make the beer and those who drink it, Magliner keg handling hand trucks and a whole suite of other tools are there to help ensure the beer gets made and gets delivered, safely and efficiently. Keg Handling Hand Trucks The keg handling hand truck is the basic workhorse for many a craft brewer, distributor, bar owner, or anyone else who needs to move a keg from here to there. They have a platform and curved back designed for kegs, and a hook to help keep them in place on the truck. If you’re looking to move a keg without risking damage by rolling it, or your back by lifting it, a keg handling hand truck is the way to go. And with an affordable attachment of stair climbers, that keg handling hand truck can transform into a stair climbing cart. Keg Handling U-Boats

2. There are times when more than a single keg requires moving. Situations like that call for Magliner keg handling U-boats. Magliner industrial U-boats can be equipped with the “Keg Mover,” which allows workers to move kegs safely and efficiently. The Keg Mover insert turns an industrial U-boat into a keg moving dynamo capable of easily transporting six full half barrel kegs, or 11 empty ones. Convertible Hand Trucks Craft brewers and distillers have a lot more to move than just kegs. There are heavy bags of grain, sugar, and yeast; loads of hops and malt; and a wide selection of other bagged stock. Moving bags can sometimes prove tricky on a traditional hand truck, but Magliner convertible, aka collapsible, hand trucks can be used in both a vertical and horizontal position. That allows for the moving of everything traditional hand trucks excel at with the convenience of horizontal transportation as well. Walk Behind Forklifts A Magliner walk behind forklift is an excellent transport solution for small- to medium-sized breweries. As incredible as the traditional Magliner hand truck is, some loads require a little more power. When a transportation environment calls for more moving muscle than a classic hand truck can provide, but a forklift truck isn’t necessary, a walk behind forklift is exactly what you need.
