Material handling and forklifts

The term “material handling” may not be familiar to everyone, but the need is well understood. At its most basic, material handling is about getting items from Point A to Point B. Whether it's getting sheet steel to a punch press, moving workpieces around a factory, delivering finished goods to a warehouse, or delivering a load of lumber for pick-up, it’s all material handling.

Forklifts are key pieces of material handling equipment. They’re designed to lift and carry heavy loads over short distances Most people associate forklifts with manufacturing facilities and warehouses; however, they’re also common in distribution centers, lumber yards, sawmills, and even on farms.

Forklifts are highly specialized for their use. Different models are designed for different load weights. There are indoor and outdoor models. Various options and accessories further tailor a forklift to its use.
