If you’ve found your way to this blog, you’re likely wondering “what is material handling?” - material handling involves the movement and handling of storage materials in industrial settings such as warehouses, construction sites and supply chains.
People who work in these types of industries use a variety of different equipment to complete material handling tasks safely and efficiently. Material handling equipment is the best way to sure that you're transporting your loads safely and efficiently.
Material handling equipment can be broken down into four categories:
At SafetyLiftinGear.com we specialise in providing our customers with high-quality, reliable material handling equipment. Whether you need a pallet truck to transport goods around a warehouse or a robust storage cupboard to keep your tools secure, we have a material handling solution to suit you.
Our material lifts are amongst our most popular material handling solutions. Choose from a manually operated, semi-electric or fully-powered material lift depending on the nature of the task you need to complete.
Our manual stacker trucks are ideal for moving open boarded pallets in confined spaces because they have small turning circles and are relatively compact. Our semi-electric and fully-automated stackers reduce the amount of physical excursion needed to complete material handling tasks, so they’re perfect for more frequent use.

Pallet trucks are an excellent material handling solution and can be used to transport goods from one location to another with ease. At SafetyLiftinGear we offer both manual and electric pallet trucks to suit a range of preferences and requirements.
Our manual pallet trucks are perfect for moving heavy duty loads because they offer maximum control as you move and manoeuvre. For low-duty applications in warehouses or on lorries choose our electric pallet trucks. You can complete your material handling task quickly and effectively with very little effort.

If you work in a material handling occupation, it is important that you know the principles of material handling. Material handling comes with a set rule of principles to ensure all material handling is executed deliberately and efficiently.
All material handling workers abide by the following principles, so ensure you revise and understand the importance of these ten points.
The planning principle states that all material handling operations should be the results of a deliberate plan. The performance objectives, the need of the operation and the functional specification should be defined from the very beginning.
The standardisation principle of material handling believes that all methods, equipment, controls, and software should be standardised within the limits of achieving the performance objectives. This should not sacrifice the needed flexibility, modularity or throughput.
The work principle of material handling believes that material handling work should be minimised without hindering productivity or the service level requires for the operation.
The capability of humans and limitations should be recognised and respected. This should be considered when designing the material handling tasks and equipment in order to ensure a safe and effective operation.
This principle of material handling requires all unit loads to be appropriately sized. They should also be configured to achieve the material for and the objectives at each stage in the supply chain.
Space Utilisation requires all available space is used effectively and efficiently.
The system principle states that all material movement and storage activities should be integrated to form a coordinated operational system. This should include the following things.
Wherever possible, all material handling operations should be mechanised or automated. This improves operational efficiency, increased responsiveness, improved consistency, predictability and decreases operational costs and/or potentially unsafe manual labor.
The environmental principle of material handling believes that all environmental impact and energy consumption should be considered when designing or selecting alternative equipment and material handling systems.
Finally, a thorough economic analysis should account for the entire lifecycle of all material handling equipment and resulting systems.
