| | forklift-free | Explanation:
It appears that no forklifts are required for the handling of produced items.
See examples:
http://www.inboundlogistics.com/articles/features/1204_featu...
"While forklift trucks may be the tried and true solution for many materials handling operations, ***forklift-free*** applications are attempting to shake up manufacturing with the emergence of carts and dollies. Thinking of going ***forklift-free***? Make sure you have all the facts before jumping in."
http://www.thomasnet.com/profile/10107036/kinetic-technologi...
"Cleveland-based Kinetic Technologies, Inc., designer/manufacturer of ***Forklift Free*** material handling equipment and accessories has developed a small parts delivery cart to complement manufacturing and warehouse inventory management programs."
http://www.impomag.com/scripts/ShowPR.asp?RID=9537&CommonCou...
"“GM wanted to go ***forklift-free*** in an engine plant and the challenge was, they had at least seven different sizes of containers, and they did not want a proliferation of fleet.”
