Mechanized Material Handling Equipment

Mechanized material handling equipment can reduce costs and turnaround time for vehicles. When selecting equipment, factors like material weights, volumes, properties, handling needs, loading frequency, and customer needs must be considered. Equipment options for loading and unloading include dock levelers, forklifts, cranes like fixed jib, gantry, wheeled, and rail-mounted cranes, pulley blocks, hoists, telphers, pneumatic tubes, pipelines, and conveyors. Conveyors are best for high volumes and operate using gravity or power.
