This is where Sumachay’s SELR20-S Electric Pallet Jack with Scale (4400 lb Capacity) comes in. Built with Canadian businesses in mind, it combines the power of a high-capacity electric pallet jack with the convenience of an integrated scale, ensuring every movement is efficient, precise, and safe.

🇨🇦 The Canadian Warehousing Landscape

Canada has one of the largest and most complex logistics networks in the world, spanning coast to coast. From Toronto’s distribution hubs to Vancouver’s port warehouses, businesses face unique challenges:

1. Geographic Distances – Goods often travel thousands of kilometers across provinces. Weighing accuracy is critical to avoid costly freight penalties.

2. Labour Shortages – Warehouses in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, and Alberta face labour gaps and rising wages. Electric pallet jacks reduce worker strain and boost productivity.

3. Cold Storage & Harsh Environments – Food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries rely on climate-controlled facilities where durable equipment is essential.

4. E-commerce Growth – Amazon, Walmart, Shopify sellers, and local retailers have made order fulfillment speed the top priority.

5. Safety & Compliance – Workplace safety laws (OHSA in Ontario, WorkSafeBC, CNESST in Quebec) require equipment that minimizes manual handling injuries.

These realities make electric pallet jacks with scales not just an upgrade, but a necessity.
