I Got High Today

[Doc]

Hey Gang,

I got some news that will make Doc's Detecting even more responsive to my customers than ever before.  We have always prided ourselves on Great Customer Service and fast shipping.  We have recently made some major purchases and plans for the future.

To be clear I have never used any illegal drugs in my life, never even smoked.  That's not that kind of high I'm talking about.  But the ol' Doc ain't as young as he used to be.  Carrying boxes up on the top of 12 foot high warehouse shelving, by having a 50 lb box on one shoulder and one hand on a shaky ladder is getting a bit too scary.

So started looking at Fork Lifts, but I would have to widen my aisles and we really don't put things on pallets.  We stack the boxes full of SWINGY THINGYS, SAGA Swing Arms etc on upper shelves, and as we need them we bring down a box, open it, put it in a large clear plastic bin that we pick from to fill orders.

So in talking to the FORKLIFT company the salesman says, you don't need a Fork Lift, you need an ORDER PICKER.  I said, "I am the ORDER PICKER!"  He said no, let me send you a picture.

So I went to California Wednesday and picked up my new ORDER PICKER.  It's only 29 inches wide.  The tray in front will carry over 200 lbs, so it will easily take 4 or 5 boxes of merchandise up with me to put on shelves or retrieve a couple off of a high shelf safely.  The bottom below the tray will carry 360 lbs, so you can move a quantity of merchandise around the warehouse to where you want to store it.

This would have been the bomb when I was putting up Christmas tree lights on the house this past Christmas Season.

More BIG NEWS Below the Pictures.

At the end of 2024 we will be moving to a NEW WAREHOUSE that I purchased that is being built as we speak.

This Warehouse Complex, is really cool.  There are 29 units and you actually purchase your unit.  It's a gated complex.  It's like a Home Owners Association.  There is a really great Club House with roof top party area with bar-b-q grills and the like.  Inside there are meeting rooms and areas that can be used for like a mini show.

The Complex is called "The Stack."  It is located 3 miles from my home in the hottest new area of Henderson.  It is 1/2 mile from the Henderson airport and The Raiders Practice stadium and the two large Amazon Warehouses.  

I must be crazy to think I can keep doing this stuff forever, but I love it, and I see no end in sight.  You guys have helped Doc's Detecting Supply grow at an amazing rate and I am eternally grateful.  I thank you for your support and I will continue to try to bring you some of the best innovative accessories in the Detecting Prospecting Industry.

Good on you Doc, looks like the Order Picker is just the thing.

That order picker will sure make it easier for you Doc, glad you found something that will most likely make things much easier for you

how stable is that order picker when its fully extended up with boxes and other stuff, plus a person

[Doc]

It weighs about 1900 pounds, with about 1650 pounds of that being in the base due to weight plates and the batteries.  It's amazingly stable.  I picked it up in California it was strapped to a pallet.  They loaded it in my trailer with a forklift.  I expressed concerns that it might tip over.  They told me, it's not going anywhere, it's like a toothpick sticking out of a concrete block.

So I drive 300 miles back to Las Vegas, I go from sea level to over 5000 feet going over the mountains.  I got home and that thing had not moved an inch.

I will admit, taking it all the way to the top does have a bit of a "Holy Mother of Jesus" factor to it.

It's made by a company that also makes forklifts so they know all about weighting things properly.  In one of their videos they show a guy driving it down the aisle while he is raising the thing up in the air.  I don't think I'll be doing any of that trick driving.  Just take it where I need it.  Stop it, raise it up, scream all the way, lower it and cry. LOL

Very cool Doc! I like the picker too, but actually more interested in your new warehouse. I'll probably call you to further discuss if that's ok?

Congratulations! 🎊 New Wear House looks like a Store Front. Is that new Lift 4x4?  I know a few vertical hydro pit walls I’d like to introduce it to!
