Whether you’re managing a bustling distribution warehouse or a retail store with bulky inventory, proper material handling is key. It protects your employees from workplace injuries and prevents damage to goods, ensuring a smoother operation and better productivity.
But what exactly is material handling? Let’s break it down.
What Is Material Handling?
Material handling involves the movement, storage, and control of materials from manufacturing to distribution. The primary goal is simple: move goods efficiently and safely, reduce physical strain on workers, and optimise the use of storage space.
When employees handle items manually, the weight of the load becomes critical. For example:
- 25kg is considered a safe limit for men.
- 16kg is the safe limit for women.
This applies when the load is carried close to the body at knuckle height. For anything heavier, proper tools and equipment should always be used to protect workers from strain or injury.
The Tools of the Trade
Using the right equipment doesn’t just prevent injuries, it also boosts efficiency, protects goods, and improves workplace productivity. This is where pallet trucks, lift trolleys, and other solutions come into play.
Key Benefits of Material Handling Equipment:
- Reduce Injury Risks: Minimise strain on workers’ bodies and avoid workplace accidents.
- Improve Productivity: Move items faster and with less effort.
- Prevent Damage: Protect your goods from mishandling, reducing losses and increasing profit.
