Abstract

Excerpt from the report: This study developed handling and space costs for wholesalers of fresh fruits and vegetables, chill-pack poultry, dairy products, and eggs. These wholesalers operate in multiple-occupancy buildings by using three alternate handling methods at annual volume levels ranging from 1,000 to 60,000 tons. The three handling methods covered are: (1) pallets with manual pallet transporters, (2) pallets with electric pallet transporters, and (3) pallets using racks and counterbalanced electric forklift trucks. Costs were developed for each method at each selected volume level for labor, equipment, and space.
