What are the different types of material handling equipments?

Almost every industry need handling equipment to go by their day efficiently.

When talking about material handling equipment, the list goes on and on. Almost every industry needs equipment to go by their day efficiently.

Regardless if it’s trucks, tools or vehicles, getting material from point A to point B needs a little help. 

So here’s a list of mhe that best improves work efficiency. 

How does a hand pallet truck work?

If you allow your workers to carry heavy loads, quite frankly, you might as well abuse them. Thus, your intention to cut costs may just lead you straight to a lawsuit.

Workers break their back handling material but have such a better alternative-pallet jacks!

However, its simplicity can fool you. Hand pallet trucks can hold loads up to 30 times its weight!

Hence, we suggest the Weight Scale Hand Pallet Truck as your pallet material handling equipment. It has a built-in weight scale to track your load weight and can hold up to 2500kg of material!

What is the best electric pallet jack?

Also known as electric pallet trucks, walkies or power jacks, pallet jacks are a common electric material handling equipment in a warehouse.

On the other hand, electric powered pallet trucks gives the operator effortless and smoother maneuvering.

But even though electric pallet trucks comes in many forms, all with different capacities, we highly suggest the Electric Pallet Truck RPT30.

It has a built in platform and protective side bars for ultimate safety, this platform pallet truck can handle up to 3000kg worth of load!

Stacker Handling Equipment

An essential equipment for storage and handling is a stacker.

A facility that has low to mid-level racking can benefit the most out of a stacker.

Sure that ladder gets the job done, but wouldn’t you prefer something that promises efficiency and 5 times the speed of manual labour?

Therefore, the best stacker out of all others has to be the Self Lifting Stacker for its functionality. Moreover, it lifts itself up without readjusting the carried load into a truck seamlessly.

Top that with a weight capacity of 500kg, you’ll be transporting goods with unbelievable speed!

Yet, a close second is the Electric Stacker if you’re looking for electric material handlers with more load capacity. As for this one, it can carry loads of up to a tremendous 2000kg!

What machines lift pallets?

With similar functions to a stacker, a pallet lifter can maximize storage space.

In addition to scissor legs, this high lifter can carry up to 1500kg as high as 800m. However, since its forks connects to the legs, use only open-based pallets or open bottom skids for maximum productivity. 

With that said, what we have in store that transcends all other pallet high lifters is the Electric Pallet High Lifter ESLP15-N/W.

Alter its height through controls located by the handle and it has a lifting motor power of 1.1kW which can lift 8 times its weight! 

Drum Handling Equipment – Handle Drums Correctly

Then, a turn wheel connected to an attached chain is manually turned to rotate the drum. The mechanism is so simple, even a trainee can do it. 

Scissor Lifts – Lift Loads Easier

Typically used to lift loads to a certain amount of height, lifters can also function as a work table if set to a desired height.

Material lifters comes in many forms and capacities. If you’re looking for a mobile lifter, our range of scissor lifts are your helping hand.

One of the best lifters available is the 0.8kW powered Electric Scissor Lift ELT80. It max height can reach 1000mm with a max load capacity of 800kg.

However, what makes it different is how it can fit a standard pallet jack to transfer pallets. Watch how U-Low platform lifter works to see exactly how.

Using manual labor can risk your worker’s well being which can impact the work environment.

Investing in a hand trolley not only improves productivity but also rapport substantially.

Nevertheless, there are so many choices to choose from but it all depends on your facility needs.

Ladder Trolley for Handling Equipment

Basically ladders on wheels, ladder trolleys help workers to high-level racking for material access.

We suggest to operate this equipment with at least 2 workers.

Our best selling ladder trolley is the Ladder Trolley ST Series.

With 5 models to choose form, the highest being 2745mm, this high gloss painted tower ladder gets the job done with little to no effort.

Access Equipment

Warehouse MHE shouldn’t just be to store and stack material.

Equipment for Storage

We’ve gone through handling equipment, but how about storage equipment?

If your facility deals with bulk material, pallet mesh, pallet cages, work tainers and pallet tainers are what you need.

Organized material storing significantly helps with product identification and better material handling.

What we recommend is the Pallet Tainer designed to store goods conveniently by stacking one on top of the other. It can store materials with or without pallets up to 1000kg.

When not in use, stack each pallet tainer for more space utilization.
