Five Categories of Material Handling Equipment Part Two
Material handling equipment has five basic categories. One of those categories is equipment used to bind a group of materials so they may be transported or delivered as one unit.
If you have a pile of timber or rebar, it must be bound up as a unit. The equipment responsible for handing this binding is called Unit Load Formation Equipment, and can include palletizes and shrink wrappers. It can also include the shrink-wrap itself, crates and pallets.
If you are training interns, new hires or even conducting a familiarization tour of your facility these will be good concepts to pass on to your newcomers.
