Material Handling Equipment and its types

There are lots of situations where it’s critical to move large and heavy materials in a production environment. Any piece of equipment that helps in this process might be labeled ‘material handling equipment’.Industrial material handling equipment encompasses a diverse range of tools, vehicles, storage units, accessories involved in transporting, storing, controlling, and protecting products at any stage of manufacturing, distribution, consumption or disposal.

Material handling equipment is generally classified into four main categories: 
  1. Storage and Handling Equipment
  2. Engineered Systems 
  3. Industrial Trucks 
  4. Bulk Material Handling

Storage and Handling Equipment
Most of the items are described as storage and handling equipment refers to pallets, racking or shelves. Materials are stored neatly and conveniently to await transportation or their entry into the production process if it is necessary.
Types of storage and handling equipment
  • Drive-through or drive-in racks
  • Pallet racks
  • Push-back racks
  • Shelving
  • Sliding racks
  • Stacking frames

Engineered Systems 
An engineered system is one that's typically automated. Such systems are also usually created from a variety of units. When combined, they work to enable both storage and transportation.
Types of engineered systems
  • Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
  • Conveyor systems
  • Robotic delivery systems

Industrial Trucks
The scope of this term can include both small, hand-operated devices, and large-scale motorized vehicles. Some items can be driven, while others – like pallet trucks – simply add mobility to the materials that are being handled.
Types of industrial trucks:
  • Automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
  • Hand, platform and pallet trucks
  • Order pickers
  • Pallet jacks
  • Side-loaders
  • Walking stackers

Bulk Material Handling
The term ‘bulk handling equipment’ refers to the storage, control, and transportation of materials by bulk, and also in loose form. There are many examples of this application – the handling of food, beverages, liquids, metal items (such as screws and nails) and minerals are just a couple of them.
Types of bulk handling material equipment
  • Bucket and grain elevators
  • Conveyor belts
  • Hoppers and silos
  • Reclaimers
  • Stackers

At Hytek Marketing we provide a wide range of material handling equipment that is used as lifting tables to lift material from different heights and for easy movement. Designed as per the international standards, these are often modified to suit the particular requirements of the customers. Known for their features of lightweight, high durability and simple maneuverability.

Our Material Handling Equipment includes:
  • Vacuum Lifting Devices
  • Ergonomic Arms
  • Industrial Protection
  • Electric Tugs / Carts

With the complex processes of material handling needed in moving containers and loads, it’s essential to grasp how to start, conduct, and implement a successful material handling project. Using automated equipment has been deemed to be a costly and risky investment. However, this is often the simplest way to save on material handling projects while getting the exact hardware needed within the building site.

The latest developments in material handling systems support the requirements of various companies that require handling equipment. With the complex material handling processes, it's truly a great advantage to have a feasible material handling system that adapts to the unique needs of operators and industrial companies.

When it comes to material handling, there is much more to understand than just simply lifting and transporting. Here we described the different varieties of material handling equipment you probably never knew we sold, plus what it’s used for. Looking for Material Handling Equipment?

Things to know about pipe bending machine

Pipe and tube bending machines are used to bend pipes and tubes to produce finished parts. Tubes are hollow conduits that are used to flow lines for gases and fluids in medical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and process applications. Pipe bending machines can be used for a variety of functions. It is suitable for large diameters, with a separate bending machine set to adapt the machine to the appropriate diameter of pipes. Horizontal bending presses, which SIMASV® invented in 1957, are particularly characterized by their flexibility and versatility, over 60 years of experience in the field of deformation and processing of profiles, bars, and sheets. Bending machines are used to perform cold bending on particular job sites. In modern bending machines, large diameter pipes can be accommodated also it is necessary to make some bends for some special machines. There are different types of tube and pipe bending machines available in modern markets. let's have a look at some of them them. 1....
