Applications
Forklift printing solutions
Reduce errors and boost efficiency with mobile workflow printers.
Mobilize your workflow with forklift-mounted printers
Warehouses and DTC fulfillment centers are handling more packages than ever. But rising labor shortages and shrinking budgets means that your workflow needs to be extremely efficient in order to cover more square feet with less workers while staying competitive.
Investing in new equipment to meet these needs can be expensive. Instead, why not optimize equipment that you already deploy? By equipping your existing forklifts and lift trucks with printers, you can instantly save time and reduce errors. They eliminate the need for your operators to retrieve printed documents across the warehouse floor while reducing the chance of grabbing the wrong documents.
The simple adoption of mobile printers on forklifts and lift trucks also provides the opportunity to further optimize other day-to-day processes. For instance, by adding a full-page printer to your material handling vehicles, you’re able to produce critical full-page documents and large format labels from a small, compact solution.
Automate your workflow
Fast-paced supply chains are here to stay, and mobile automation plays a key role in keeping your operation competitive. While fixed workstations will remain a necessity, a small but powerful step towards automation starts by bringing a mobile printer to smaller jobs and tasks, instead of the other way around.
Improve your supply chain visibility
Real-time tracking of pallets, packages, and products on their journey is possible with the right barcode workflow in place. Because just-in-time fulfillment demands total visibility, a forklift-mounted printer allows you to move where the products go and generate updates when necessary.
Increase productivity and efficiency
Adding compact, reliable, highly-connected mobile printers to your forklifts and lift trucks can dramatically improve accuracy and efficiency. And having an at-your-fingertips printer means that employees can save valuable time and improve accurate labeling at every key supply chain juncture.

If you want to run your forklift printers on battery power, the PocketJet and the RuggedJet 4 printers can be used on your forklift and charged off-line. This is a great option if you are leasing a forklift, don’t want to connect with your electrical system, or have multiple forklifts with varying battery voltage systems.
Brother offers battery-eliminating power solutions for fuel-powered forklifts, as well as options for all-electric battery powered forklifts at 24-60VDC and higher.
