A carton clamp device is advantageous as it allows operators to move layers of a unitized load individually, and eliminates the need for a pallet when handling full unitized loads. The required clamping force typically changes depending on the size, shape, and weight of the load. This creates the potential for under-clamping (slippage) and over-clamping (compressive damage). Sears as a company uses carton-clamping methodologies as opposed to traditional fork and pallet lifting methods in their warehouse. In the United States their merchandise is stored in a distribution center until being shipped to individual retailers. This project focuses on the portion of the distribution channel from the distribution center to the retailer. The primary objective was to provide clamp truck handling related guidelines that could be used in practice by Sears Holding Corporation warehoused merchandise. Product of varying sizes was tested in several different configurations to be carried by a carton clamp according to a modified version of ISTA 3B.
