The Material Handling Process

Material Handling
Tools and equipment facilitate material handling tasks.

Many people are not familiar with the work involved in the handling, storage and protection of products before they hit the display stands at the stores. Even in the business sector, material handling is a very common task that workers do not spare it a second thought.

The overall process of managing goods from the collection and transportation of unprocessed resources to the storage and delivery of finished products is known as material handling. The proper handling of materials is essential to prevent damage and spoilage.

Material handling tasks may be done manually but can be greatly facilitated with the use of tools and equipment. In mass material handling, raw materials such as sand and quarry need to be loaded onto trucks while large boxes and crates need to lifted or stacked. The use of conveyors, forklifts and other machinery is often essential in these situations.

Accidents can occur while goods are being handled so it is important to have strict safety regulations in place.
