Charleston, WV- We were contacted by a long time Customer in the Charleston, WV area inquiring about large volume Steel Hopper that they wanted to replace. This particular Hopper was damaged beyond repair and needed to be replaced. These large volume Hoppers are commonly used in the mining industry. It was located in a large coal mine in Western West Virginia.
What was unusual about this existing hopper (which was primarily used for waste removal within the mine) was its large size and heavy capacity. What we replaced it with was a Jesco Industries Large Volume, Low Profile, Super Heavy Duty Structural Base Hopper constructed of 7 GAUGE STEEL. This HD Hopper had a 10 cubic yard capacity and 10,000 lbs. weight capacity. The Hopper measured 91″L x 135″W x 70″H…135″ wide and 91″ long-WOW!
We also added an optional lid (steel piano hinged split lid). This was the largest Steel Dumping Hopper we have ever sold… the Hopper with Lid weighed well over 3,600 lbs.!
We serve a wide range of Customers in a wide range of industries with often times really unique applications. Every project is uniquely different. Contact the experts at Midwest Material Handling, LLC with any Steel Dumping Hopper application from large to small-common to unusual!
WORTHINGTON, OHIO– We recently got a call from a large Ohio based Manufacturer of industrial products with a bit of a unique Pallet Rack protection application. This customer recently purchased an AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) and requested Post and End-of-Aisle Protectors for their Pallet Rack. The big issue was these Column Protectors could not extend into the open shelf space as every inch was needed for the AGV to operate there.
We supplied them with Handle-It 12″H Steel Column Protector with optional HD steel Rack Protector Extender, which was custom cut to 28″L. Not sure if it is clear in the photos but these Column Protectors only extend into the shelf space by an inch, at best, allowing the AGV to operate in and out of the Rack sections as designed. Like all of the Pallet Rack protection products we sell, we also furnished concrete anchors (1/2″ x 3.75″ and 3/4″ x 4.25″) for installation. The finished product came out great and has been incredibly effective. These were furnished and installed throughout the entire distribution center facility.
These Corner Protectors are also effective for use at building wall corners and guard doorways.
We get pictures like this sent to us all the time… “Our Leveler is down and we need this part ASAP”!
One of the more unique services we provide is the sale of Wholesale Dock Leveler, Dock Seal and Dock Shelter parts including Vehicle Restraint Parts. At the end of the day, Dock Levelers really are relatively simple devices. Like all mechanical equipment and in addition to the harsh way these devices are used, parts wear out and need to be replaced. So many Dock repair companies will come out, charge you a small fortune to evaluate a repair and say the entire Leveler has to be replaced. This is RARELY the case when just a few simple parts will put the Leveler back in service in a relatively short period of time! With a little time and willingness to repair the Leveler yourself, time and money can be greatly saved.
We supply dock leveler replacement parts for most major manufacturers including: Blue Giant, Serco, DLM, Overhead Door, Rite-Hite, Kelley (Kelley-Atlantic for older units), Poweramp, McGuire, Penta-Lift, Pioneer and Vestil Manufacturing.
OUR SPECIALTY… allow us to put our 31+ years of experience to work to help you identify those hard to find parts! As an Authorized Blue Giant Distributor, contact us with any Blue Giant Loading Dock Equipment part application!

More times than not, Dock Levelers have no Manufacturer serial plate on them which makes identifying what you have and who made it a challenge. Call us and let us put our 30+ years of experience to work to provide complimentary advice and help identify what you have as well as provide part numbers and parts costs. Additionally, most parts can be shipped in overnight air for the more time sensitive repairs.
Need Help Identifying a Dock Leveler Part?
Many dock levelers lose their manufacturer serial plate over time, making it difficult to determine the correct replacement parts. If you are unsure what component has failed, send us a photo of the dock leveler and we can often help identify the correct replacement part.
With more than 30 years of experience working with loading dock equipment, we regularly help customers identify springs, hydraulic components, hold down boxes and other worn parts so the leveler can be repaired quickly.
NORTHERN MICHIGAN- The uses for Storage and Pallet Racking systems are endless! We thought we would highlight a customer of ours, located in Northern Michigan, who is a vintage and classic wooden boat restorer. They have been one of the most experienced and respected wooden boat dealers, parts suppliers and vintage boat restorers for decades. They have been a customer of ours for well over 25 years.
There are so many different and unique uses for Pallet Rack and Storage Shelving! This customer uses standard Teardrop style Pallet rack for boat motor and parts storage. The picture you see here is just a small portion of their extensive parts warehouse. Look at all of those Chris-Craft, Hacker Craft, Garwood and Lyman motors! We dont believe they have ever bought anything NEW… it’s all been USED.
“OLD PALLET RACK FOR OLD PARTS” our customer always says. We always reply… “old pallet rack for old guys”, they always chuckle.
As you might imagine, our USED inventory changes weekly (if not daily). Contact us and allow our team of professionals to assist you with any USED Pallet Rack project.
Pretty cool… Randomly ran into this UPS driver with an OLD Aluminum Convertible Hand Truck we sold them roughly 24 years ago (our “worn” company sticker was on the other side). We have sold these Hand Trucks to UPS facilities throughout the years. This Hand Truck was manufactured by Harper Hand Trucks out of Wichita, KS. Back then, Harper was a small regional fabricator but they have grown into the largest Hand Truck manufacturer in the world! We have been both a Magliner and a Harper Dealer for nearly 30 years.
We sell a wide range of Hand and Platform Trucks from quality Manufacturers like Harper Trucks, Magliner Hand Trucks, Vestil Manufacturing, Wesco Manufacturing, Fairbanks, Milwaukee Trucks, Little Giant, New Age Industrial, Safco and B&P.
Look at the worn handles, think about how many times this hand truck has been taken out and put back in his truck. This truck definitely has had some wear and tear, but he tells me it works great… UNBELIEVABLE!
Floor scales in Columbus, Ohio are a critical part of efficient warehouse operations. Midwest Material Handling supplies industrial floor scales designed for accurate freight weighing, inventory control, and bulk material handling across a wide range of industries. As part of our broader industrial material handling equipment offering, we help businesses select reliable weighing solutions that improve accuracy and reduce costly shipping errors.
If you are setting up a new facility or upgrading your current operation, choosing the right floor scale early can help streamline workflows and avoid unnecessary freight charges.
Why Floor Scales Are Essential in Warehouse Operations
Accurate weight matters. Most warehouses rely on floor scales to verify outbound and inbound freight before it leaves the building.
LTL carriers require precise shipment weights on bills of lading. If weights are incorrect, reweigh fees and additional charges are common. These costs are avoidable with a properly calibrated floor scale.
Floor scales are also used for bulk material handling, quality control checks, and inventory management. They provide a dependable way to confirm weights throughout your operation.
Standard Floor Scale Sizes and Capacities
The most common floor scale used in Columbus warehouses is a 48 inch by 48 inch platform with a 5000 pound capacity. This size is ideal for standard pallet weighing and general warehouse use.
These scales are typically calibrated in 1 pound increments. The same unit can also be configured for 10000 pounds with 2 pound increments depending on your application.
A 60 inch by 60 inch platform is another common option for larger or oversized loads.
Custom sizes and higher capacities are available for specialized applications. If your operation involves unique load sizes or heavier materials, we can configure a scale that fits your requirements.
Common Floor Scale Options
Floor scales can be equipped with a range of options to improve usability and safety within your facility.
Common options include:
Steel access ramps for easy pallet jack or forklift loading
Level off platforms for smooth transitions to the scale surface
Digital indicators with clear and accurate readouts
Pit mounted installations for flush floor access
These features help improve efficiency and reduce handling time in daily operations.
Specialty Scale Applications
Many operations require floor scales built for specific environments or materials.
Stainless Steel Floor Scales
Designed for washdown and corrosive environments. Commonly used in food processing, chemical facilities, and clean operations.
Drum Scales
Built specifically for weighing 55 gallon steel or poly drums.
Coil Scales
Used for extremely heavy materials such as steel coils, bars, and structural components. Capacities often reach up to 100,000 pounds for high density loads.
Platform Scales
Smaller footprint scales used for lighter capacity applications, packing stations, and general weighing.
Built for Long Term Use Not Disposable Equipment
There is a significant difference between commercial grade floor scales and low cost import models purchased online..
Many cheaper scales are difficult to calibrate, lack replacement parts, and cannot be serviced locally. When they fail, they are often replaced rather than repaired.
We take a different approach.
All of the floor scales we supply are built for long term use, backed by full warranties, and supported with available parts and local service. You are investing in equipment that can be maintained and relied on over time.
Get Help Selecting the Right Floor Scale
Choosing the right floor scale depends on your load sizes, capacity requirements, and how the scale will be used within your operation.
If you are planning a new facility in Columbus or upgrading existing equipment, we can help you select a system that fits your workflow and avoids costly mistakes.

MASON, OHIO- Today, we thought we would take a little walk down memory lane to one of the more unique projects we have ever completed…
In September, 2003 a severe thunderstorm passed directly over King’s Island Amusement Park in Mason (Cincinnati), Ohio. Though very little major damage was done to the park itself, the iconic King’s Island marquee sign, visible from I-71 literally blew over. That old sign had been welcoming visitors to King’s Island for 30+ years.
A month or two later, we were contacted by an engineering firm designing the new sign for the park. This new sign was going to incorporate a newly refreshed logo and be 4-5 times larger than the old one. We were asked for a ladder solution for workers to SAFELY access the upper levels of the interior of the sign for service or maintenance.
We along with the Engineering team at Vestil Manufacturing came up with and eventually manufactured and shipped a Steel Caged Walk-Thru Fixed Access Ladder system (very similar to the one pictured above) which started at the bottom of the sign and went nearly to the top. The sign was built with a series of work platforms. The series of ladders were positioned at different sides of each “platform”. These were all custom built. This allowed workers to maintain and repair the sign safely, entirely from the interior of the sign.
The final product… the sign still stands today. While we didn’t install the fixed ladders in the sign (the ladders were shipped to the sign company and they did) the collaborative efforts of our companies made for a very smooth (not to mention interesting) project!
Contact our team of experts for a wide range of OSHA and BOCA approved Steel Rolling Ladders of various designs and styles.
All of our Ladders are proudly manufactured in the United States!
Keeping pallet jacks from rolling during transport can be a challenge in delivery trucks and trailers. When a pallet jack moves freely inside a truck bed, it can damage freight, trailer walls, and loading doors. Midwest Material Handling supplies a wide range of industrial material handling equipment in Ohio, including solutions that help secure pallet jacks during delivery and transport.
How the Pallet Truck Stop Works
The pallet truck stop acts as a wheel cradle that captures the rear load wheels of a pallet jack. Once the wheels are positioned in the molded rubber pocket, the jack remains stationary while the vehicle is moving.
The heavy rubber construction provides excellent grip and durability, allowing the stop to stay in place even during frequent loading and unloading. Because the unit is portable, it can easily be repositioned inside a truck bed or trailer depending on the layout of the load.
Benefits of Using a Pallet Jack Truck Stop
Using a pallet jack stop inside a delivery truck or trailer offers several advantages:
Prevents pallet jacks from rolling during transport
Helps protect freight and packaged goods
Reduces the risk of damage to trailer walls and loading doors
Provides a simple, low-cost safety solution for delivery vehicles
Requires no installation or permanent mounting
This type of pallet jack wheel stop is commonly used by delivery drivers, warehouse teams, and logistics operations that transport pallet jacks with their shipments.

Manufacturer: Vestil Construction: Heavy-duty molded rubber Design: Wheel cradle for pallet jack load wheels Use: Secures pallet jacks in truck beds and delivery trailers during transport
Industrial Material Handling Equipment in Ohio
Midwest Material Handling supplies a wide range of industrial material handling equipment used in warehouses, distribution centers, and delivery operations. In addition to pallet jack accessories, we provide solutions for moving, storing, and handling materials safely and efficiently.
Steel industrial ladders are a practical solution for warehouses, retail facilities, distribution centers and manufacturing operations where employees need safe access to elevated shelving and storage. Unlike a conventional step ladder, an industrial steel rolling ladder is designed to be moved around the facility and typically includes wheels or casters, a larger standing platform and a locking system for stability during use.
Midwest Material Handling sells a full range of steel rolling ladders, including 4-step models for everyday warehouse access and taller rolling ladders for reaching higher shelving and storage areas. Whether you are replacing an existing warehouse ladder or outfitting a new facility, choosing the right height, tread style and safety features can make a significant difference in how the ladder performs. Steel rolling warehouse ladders fall within our broader material handling equipment family of products.
Steel Rolling Ladders Used by Customers Nationwide
Our steel rolling ladders are used by customers throughout the United States, including BJ’s Wholesale Club locations nationwide.
Supplying a large national retailer requires consistent product quality, dependable availability and the ability to coordinate freight to multiple locations. Our experience supplying BJ’s Wholesale Club is another example of how our steel rolling ladders are used in demanding commercial and warehouse environments.
Whether you need a single rolling ladder for a local warehouse or multiple ladders for facilities across the country, Midwest Material Handling can help with product selection, pricing and nationwide freight.
4-Step Steel Rolling Ladder for Multi-Level Shelving
BJ’s Wholesale Club was looking for a mobile steel rolling ladder that could safely reach multiple levels of shelving while improving employee safety and efficiency. The customer had several specific requirements. They wanted a larger top platform, wider step treads and additional safety features to help reduce the possibility of slips or improper use. They also requested a safety chain to prevent the ladder from being used while it was stored. For additional stability during operation, they wanted a self-locking bottom step using the Saf-T-Lock system.
We worked with Tri-Arc Manufacturing to develop a steel rolling ladder that met the customer’s requirements. The initial ladder was provided as a trial unit so the customer could evaluate it in their actual warehouse environment. After several weeks of daily use, the customer was confident in the ladder’s design, stability and performance. BJ’s Wholesale ultimately purchased 26 identical steel rolling ladders, which were shipped to multiple warehouse club locations throughout the United States.
This project illustrates why choosing a rolling ladder is about more than simply selecting the number of steps. Platform size, tread design, working height, caster configuration and locking system all need to match the application.
Steel Rolling Ladder Options
Steel rolling ladders are available in several configurations to accommodate different warehouse and industrial environments. The right configuration depends on how the ladder will be used, the conditions in the facility and the height employees need to reach.
2-4 Step Steel Rolling Ladders
A 2-4 step steel rolling ladder is one of the most popular choices for everyday warehouse applications. These shorter rolling ladders are useful for accessing shelving, picking inventory and reaching products stored above normal working height. For facilities where employees frequently move between storage locations, a rolling ladder provides a convenient alternative to carrying and repositioning a conventional step ladder.
Taller Steel Rolling Ladders
Taller rolling ladders are designed for applications where employees need to reach higher shelving and storage areas. Models with 8, 10, 12, 14 or more steps can provide the additional working height required for taller warehouse shelving and multi-level storage applications. When selecting a taller rolling ladder, it is especially important to consider the platform height and the actual working height required rather than choosing a ladder based solely on the number of steps.
Grip Strut vs. Perforated Steel Steps
One of the most important options to consider when purchasing a steel rolling ladder is the type of step surface.
Grip Strut Steps
Grip Strut expanded metal steps provide excellent slip resistance and are a good choice for demanding industrial environments. The open design allows liquids, dirt and debris to pass through the tread rather than collecting on the walking surface. Grip Strut is particularly well suited for applications where employees may encounter wet, oily or slippery conditions.
Perforated Steel Steps
Perforated steel steps, also known as Perf Tread, provide a durable and slip-resistant walking surface for general warehouse and industrial applications. Perf Tread is an economical alternative to Grip Strut while still providing the strength and durability needed for everyday use. The best tread option depends on the environment where the ladder will be used and the level of slip resistance required.
Standard Rolling Ladder Safety Features
Industrial rolling ladders can be configured with several features designed to improve stability and make positioning easier.
Depending on the model, available features can include:
Spring-loaded casters
Saf-T-Lock foot-pedal locking systems
Safety chains
Wider step treads
Larger top platforms
Slip-resistant step surfaces
Different ladder heights and configurations
Spring-loaded casters allow the ladder to roll easily when it is being positioned. When an employee steps onto the ladder, the casters retract so the ladder rests securely on its feet. The Saf-T-Lock system provides another method of securing the ladder. A foot pedal allows the operator to engage the locking mechanism before climbing. Safety chains can also be added to certain configurations to help prevent unauthorized or unintended use when the ladder is stored.
How to Choose the Right Steel Rolling Ladder
The correct rolling ladder depends on more than just the number of steps. Before purchasing a ladder, consider the following:
Working Height
Determine how high employees need to reach and where their feet will be positioned while performing the task.
Platform Size
A larger top platform can provide additional standing space and may be particularly useful when employees need to work at an elevated location rather than simply reach an item.
Step Width
Wider steps can provide additional footing and may be preferable for applications involving frequent use.
Tread Surface
Choose between Grip Strut and perforated steel steps based on the conditions in your facility and the level of slip resistance required.
Locking System
Consider how the ladder will be positioned and secured during use. Spring-loaded casters and Saf-T-Lock systems are two common configurations.
Frequency of Use
A ladder that will be used dozens of times each day should be selected with durability, ease of movement and employee ergonomics in mind. If you are unsure which rolling ladder is right for your application, we can help you compare the available configurations.
Steel Rolling Ladders for Warehouses
Rolling warehouse ladders are commonly used for inventory picking, order fulfillment, shelving access, maintenance and general warehouse operations. They are particularly useful in facilities where employees need to reach products stored above normal standing height but do not need a forklift or other powered equipment for the task.
Because rolling ladders can be moved between storage aisles and work areas, one ladder can often serve multiple locations throughout a facility. For high-use applications, an industrial-grade steel rolling ladder provides the durability needed for demanding warehouse environments.
Steel Industrial Ladders for Manufacturing, Retail & Distribution
Steel rolling ladders are also used in manufacturing plants, distribution centers, retail locations, maintenance departments and other industrial facilities. The appropriate configuration depends on the working environment. For example, facilities with wet or oily conditions may benefit from Grip Strut treads, while general warehouse applications may be well suited to perforated steel steps.
Higher-access applications may require a taller ladder with a larger top platform and an appropriate locking system. We can help you determine which configuration makes sense for your facility and the work employees need to perform.
Steel Rolling Ladder Freight and Shipping
Freight is an important consideration when purchasing a steel rolling ladder. Although some ladders weigh as little as 125 pounds, their overall dimensions can take up considerable space in a freight trailer. Even ladders shipped knocked down, or KD, can have a relatively large freight footprint.
Depending on the size and configuration, rolling ladders may ship at freight classes in the 200 to 400 range. That means freight can represent a significant portion of the total delivered cost, particularly when purchasing a single ladder. We work closely with our 3PL freight partners to obtain competitive shipping rates and reliable delivery throughout the United States.
If you are purchasing multiple rolling ladders or shipping to multiple locations, we can help coordinate the freight and provide a delivered shipping quote.

Contractors, renovation crews, maintenance teams, and demolition professionals across Ohio often need a safe and efficient way to remove debris from inside buildings. Large dumpsters and standard containers are not practical in hallways, upper floors, elevators, and other tight interior spaces. A trash hopper, commonly referred to as a chip and waste truck, is one of the best solutions for indoor debris removal.
Midwest Material Handling supplies durable trash hoppers in Ohio for construction cleanup, renovation debris, scrap collection, and general facility waste handling. These are part of our broader material handling equipment product line. These units are designed for commercial use and built to handle demanding jobs while remaining easy to maneuver in confined areas.
Trash hoppers are built for tight turns, narrow doorways, and limited access areas where larger equipment cannot operate efficiently. Their manual tip design allows operators to dump contents quickly and safely without requiring forklifts or powered equipment. This makes them a practical choice for contractors, maintenance teams, and facility managers.
Important jobsite considerations often include doorway size, elevator openings, weight limits, turning radius, and the type of material being removed. Many customers use a trash hopper inside the building, then empty it into a larger self-dumping hopper outside for final disposal and disposal efficiency.
These Trucks come in three different styles:
5/8 Cubic Yard – 1,500 lbs. capacity – 68″L x 24.5″W x 40″H
3/4 Cubic Yard – 2,000 lbs. capacity – 68″L x 30.5″W x 40″H
1 Cubic Yard – 2,000 lbs. capacity – 68″L x 36.5″W x 40″H
These Chip & Waste Trucks all include 10″ x 2.5″ welded on rigid casters (load wheels) and 8″ x 2″ mold-on rubber swivel casters. All models are leak-proof and are constructed of 14-gauge steel for durability.
These versatile trucks are also great in housekeeping applications!
Two other related products to improve removal of debris is the Manual Tilt Truck. This Truck is great for manual handling of light weight, in plant refuse such as cardboard, paper, wood, pallets and trash. It is not watertight though. Also, the Lo-Profile Manual Tilt Truck with an overall height to the top of the push handle at 30″, while the bucket measures 24″ from the floor to the top edge.
Like all of our material handling products, these trash hoppers are built for dependable commercial use and long service life. If you need help selecting the right size for your application, Midwest Material Handling can recommend the best option based on your space, debris type, and capacity requirements.
