Where MHE is utilized Warehouses Manufacturing Plants Ports Airports 7. Baggage Handling in an Air Port 8. Material Handling Equipment Material handling equipment (MHE) is usedfor the movement , storage,protection, consumption and disposal ofmaterials within a facility or at a site. 9. Types of material handling equipment Transport Equipment Positioning Equipment Unit Load Formation Equipment Storage Equipment Identification and Control Equipment Ref: http://www.ise.ncsu.edu/kay/mhetax/index.htm 10. Transport Equipment These equipment are used to move materialsfrom one location to other 11. Conveyers Equipment used to move materials over afixed path between specific points 12. Types of Conveyers Mainly there are about 20 types of conveyers Belt conveyers Chute conveyers Wheel conveyers Roller conveyers Chain conveyers Slat conveyers Flat belt conveyers Magnetic belt conveyers Vertical conveyers 13. conveyers are used When material is to be moved frequentlybetween specific points To move materials over a fixed path When there is a sufficient flow volume tojustify the fixed conveyor investment 14. Cranes Equipment used to move materials overvariable paths within a restricted area. 15. Types of cranes Jib cranes Bridge cranes Gantry cranes Stacker cranes 16. Industrial Trucks Equipment used to move materials overvariable paths, with no restrictions on the areacovered by the movement 17. Types of industrial trucks Hand Truck Pallet Jack Walkie Stacker 18. Counterbalanced lift truck Narrow-Aisle reach truck 19. Fork Lifts most common equipment in materialhandling 20. Unit Load Formation Equipment Unit load formation equipment used torestrict materials so that they maintain theirintegrity when handled a single load duringtransport and for storage 21. Pallets 48 x 40 in. pallet is most popular in US 1200 x 800 mm "Euro-Pallet" is the standard pallet in Europe is a flat transportstructure thatsupports goods ina stable fashionwhile being liftedby a forklift,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallet 22.

Bar code system consists of bar code label, barcode scanner, and bar code printer. Contact bar code scanners use pen or wand toread labels. Non-contact bar code scanners include fixedbeam, moving beam, and omni-directional beam. 1-D codes are most common; 2-D codes enablemuch greater data storage capability. 30.
