Material handling equipment is divided into four main categories: storage & handling, bulk materials, industrial trucks, and engineered system. Let's look at them all.
Bulk handling materials equipment stores, controls and moves loose material in large quantities.
Material handling equipment will help employees locate, transport and pick inventory. This will make them more capable and productive for other tasks.
From reducing unnecessary manual work to maximizing available space and tracking inventory in real-tine, GSS Machinery’s automated solutions are designed to help you adhere to these principles to streamline your warehouse operations.
Engineered systems include a range of units that are connected to allow for storage and transport. Many of them are automated. An example of an engineered system would be the Automated Storage and Retrieval System. This is often abbreviated AS/RS. It is a large-scale automated organization structure that includes racks, aisles and shelves. The "shuttle" system for retrieval makes it easy to access them. A shuttle system is a mechanized cherry picking machine that can be used by workers or fully automated to locate and retrieve storage items quickly for other purposes.
Warehouse management solutions can provide greater control over materials handling, inventory tracking, process analysis, and preventive maintenance.
Industrial trucks (material handling trucks) refer to the different kinds of transportation items and vehicles used to move materials and products in materials handling. These transportation devices can include small hand-operated trucks, pallet jacks, and various kinds of forklifts. These trucks have a variety of characteristics to make them suitable for different operations. Some trucks have forks, as in a forklift, or a flat surface with which to lift items, while some trucks require a separate piece of equipment for loading. Trucks can also be manual or powered lift and operation can be walk or ride, requiring a user to manually push them or to ride along on the truck. A stack truck can be used to stack items, while a non-stack truck is typically used for transportation and not for loading.

Material handling is essential for safe transportation of your goods and materials from manufacturing to distribution.

A variety of manual, semi-automated, and automated equipment and systems are used in the process.
Material handling devices are the machines that are used to make logistics work more efficient. These machines move raw materials, works in progress, and finished products, among other things. Many material handling devices are used at logistics work sites.
