Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: In recent years, service wholesalers of produce have vigorously sought ways of reducing the costs of handling products through their warehouses. They are placing considerable emphasis on solving the problem of reducing the cost of assembling orders and loading trucks, because these are the most costly of all warehousing operations on a tonnage basis. Six methods used by produce wholesalers employing different types and combinations of types of materials-handling equipment for loading out are described in this report.
