The various types of transport items and vehicles used in the transportation of materials and products are called industrial trucks or material handling trucks. These transport devices include small hand-operated trucks as well as pallet jacks and different types of forklifts. There are many characteristics that make these trucks suitable for different types of operations. Some trucks are equipped with forks (a forklift) or flat surfaces that allow you to lift things. Other trucks need a separate piece for loading. There are two types of trucks: powered lift or manual. They can be ridden or pushed manually by the operator. A stack truck can be used for stacking items, while non-stack trucks are used for transporting goods and not loading.
From manufacturing to distribution, material handling is key to ensure your materials and goods are safely transported from one stage of the supply chain to the next.

With materials handling systems and the proper equipment, employees aren’t required to lift heavy items and reach high storage areas.
Heavy loads should be placed on the lower or middle shelves. Long, tall, or top-heavy items should be stored on their sides or secured to prevent tipping. To access materials in higher locations, place ladders on stable, level surfaces and use stair platforms. Properly lift materials.
Storage, engineered systems, industrial trucks, and bulk material handling are the four major categories of material handling equipment.
