Izikhethi ze-oda ze-warehouse eziziqhubayo ziyimishini yokulanda ephezulu ehambayo esebenza kahle futhi ephephile eyenzelwe izindawo zokugcina impahla. Le mishini idlala indima ebalulekile embonini yesimanje yezokuthutha kanye neyokugcina impahla, ikakhulukazi ezimweni lapho kudingeka khona imisebenzi yokulanda ephezulu njalo futhi ephumelelayo.

Abaqoqi be-oda lempahla yokugcina impahla banezinhlobonhlobo zokuphakama kwepulatifomu, ezingakhethwa ngokuya ngesimo sangempela sendlu yokugcina impahla kanye nezidingo zokuphakama kwezimpahla. Ukuphakama kwepulatifomu okuvamile kungu-2.7m, 3.3m, njll. Lezi zinketho zokuphakama ezahlukene zihlangabezana kakhulu nezidingo zokuthathwa kwezimpahla ezindaweni eziphakeme ezahlukene endlini yokugcina impahla.

Umthamo womthwalo we-oda elizihambelayo nawo muhle impela. Umthamo womthwalo ophelele wepulatifomu ungama-300kg, okusho ukuthi ingathwala isisindo somqhubi kanye nezimpahla ngesikhathi esisodwa. Lo mklamo awugcini nje ngokuqinisekisa ukuzinza kwenqubo yokuthatha kodwa futhi uthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle komsebenzi.

Umklamo weplatifomu yabakhethi be-oda kagesi kulula kakhulu ukuyisebenzisa. Iplatifomu ihlukaniswe ngokusobala ezindaweni ezimbili: enye indawo yokuma, enikeza indawo yokusebenza ebanzi nekhululekile kumqhubi; enye indawo yemithwalo, esetshenziselwa ukubeka nokuthutha izimpahla. Lo mklamo awugcini nje ngokuqinisekisa ukuphepha komqhubi, kodwa futhi ugwema ukushayisana nomonakalo wezimpahla ngesikhathi sokusebenza.

Ama-forklift okukhetha ama-oda aphezulu asebenza ngamabhethri. Le ndlela yokushayela ayigcini nje ngokuba nobungane nemvelo futhi yonga amandla, kodwa futhi inikeza lula kakhulu kubasebenzi abaphezulu. Abasebenzi bangalawula kalula ukunyakaza nokuphakamisa imishini epulatifomu ngaphandle kokukhathazeka ngemingcele yezintambo noma imikhawulo yokunikezwa kwamandla. Lo mklamo wenza ukunyakaza kwama-forklift okukhetha ama-oda aphezulu endaweni yokugcina impahla kube lula futhi umsebenzi wokukhetha usebenze kahle.
