Material storage and handling equipment can be used to store materials for short or longer periods, depending on the warehouse's requirements.
The Material Handling Institute, a group of professionals and researchers, created a document with the 10 principles in material handling. It was designed to make materials handling safer and more productive.
Depending on the needs of your warehouse, storage and handling equipment can store materials for either short or long periods.
2. Standardization: Standardize your processes and equipment to achieve predictable results. However, you should still be flexible. Your team should be able to anticipate future changes in the size of boxes, so that you can use equipment that can move smaller or larger boxes.
Industrial trucks (also known as material handling trucks) are vehicles that transport materials and other products. These transport devices include hand-operated small trucks, pallet jacks, as well various forklifts. These trucks can be used in a variety different ways due to their many features. Some trucks have forks that can be used to lift items. Others may require separate equipment for loading. A truck can be powered or manually operated. It can be driven by a person or can be ridden. A stack truck is designed to stack items. However, a non-stack vehicle is usually used for transport and not loading.
5. Unit load: Utilize unit loads such as containers and pellets to reduce effort and walking time in the warehouse.

Non-automated storage equipment is typically limited to those that are not automated. These items can be grouped with engineered systems. The storage equipment is used to store or buffer materials during periods of "downtimes", or when they are not being moved. These periods can be temporary pauses in long-term transport or long-term storage that allows stock to build up. Most storage equipment is made up of pallets, shelves, or racks on which materials can be stored in an orderly fashion to allow for transportation or consumption. Many companies have developed proprietary packaging to help products or materials of a particular type conserve space in their inventory. This has allowed them to increase efficiency in storage equipment.
Smart solutions enable you to work in batch and multi-order modes, increasing productivity without compromising the order fulfillment process for larger orders.

Material handling systems and processes that are well-designed reduce inventory, shorten delivery times, improve customer service, and lower manufacturing, distribution, and transportation costs. Material handling systems are used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, in addition to warehousing and storage.
Material handling devices are the machines that are used to make logistics work more efficient. These machines move raw materials, works in progress, and finished products, among other things. Many material handling devices are used at logistics work sites.
