PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
Modern material handling equipments and their application
Material handling equipment is mechanical equipment used for the movement, storage, control
and protection of materials, goods and products throughout the process of manufacturing,
distribution, consumption and disposal
...
Transport equipment
Transport equipment is used to move material from one location to another (e
...
, between
workplaces, between a loading dock and a storage area, etc
...
The major subcategories of transport
equipment are conveyors, cranes, and industrial trucks
...
Difference between use of conveyor, cranes, and industrial trucks for transport with respect to
their path and area of operation
Conveyors
PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
Conveyors are used when material is to be moved frequently between specific points over a
fixed path and when there is a sufficient flow volume to justify the fixed conveyor investment
...
Accumulation allows intermittent movement of each unit of material transported along the
conveyor, while all units move simultaneously on conveyors without accumulation capability
...
Example of bulk-handling conveyors includes the magnetic-belt, troughed-belt, bucket, and
screw conveyors
...
Cranes
Cranes are used to transport loads over variable (horizontal and vertical) paths within a
restricted area and when there is insufficient (or intermittent) flow volume such that the use of
PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
a conveyor cannot be justified
...
Most cranes utilize trolley-and-tracks for horizontal movement and
hoists for vertical movement, although manipulators can be used if precise positioning of the
load is required
...
Industrial trucks
Industrial trucks are trucks that are not licensed to travel on public roads (commercial trucks
are licensed to travel on public roads)
...
They provide more flexibility on movement than conveyors and cranes because there are no
restrictions on the area covered, and they provide vertical movement if the truck has lifting
capabilities
...
PROCUREMENT AND CONTRACT MANAGEMENT
Hand trucks (including carts and dollies), the simplest type of industrial truck, cannot transport
or stack pallets, is non-powered, and requires the operator to walk

...
It can be used at a
workplace to feed, orient, load/unload, or otherwise manipulate materials so that are in the
correct position for subsequent handling, machining, transport, or storage
...
Examples of positioning equipment include lift/tilt/turn tables, hoists, balancers, manipulators,
and industrial robots
...
They can be powered manually, electrically, or pneumatically, and a manipulator’s end-effector
can be equipped with mechanical grippers, vacuum grippers, electromechanical grippers, or
other tooling

Unit load formation equipment
Is used to restrict materials so that they maintain their integrity when handled a single load
during transport and for storage

...
Examples of
unit load formation equipment include pallets, skids, slipsheets, tote pans, bins/baskets,
cartons, bags, and crates
...
A slipsheet is a thick piece of paper, corrugated fiber, or plastic upon which a load is placed and
has tabs that can be grabbed by special push/pull lift truck attachments

...
The design of each type of
storage equipment, along with its use in warehouse design, represents a trade-off between
minimizing handling costs, by making material easily accessible, and maximizing the utilization
of space (or cube)
...
Similarly, the depth at which units of an item are stored affects cube
utilization in proportion to the number of units per item requiring storage
