So, if all of these processes are done manually, then not only you would require more labour but also there are more chances of the products getting spoilt during transit. Hence, at this stage, there is a requirement of investing in some of the warehousing equipments. So, here if you make use of the pulley to load and unload these products, your work becomes easier.
