Material handling equipment

Material handling equipment covers the entire spectrum of commercial industrial machinery, from pallet trucks for moving 500kg of product or less to shipping container reach stackers that can move 45 tonnes. Whatever you need to shift, material handling equipment manufacturers have already designed and built what you need.

What is available

Warehouse equipment

• Pallet trucks: electric pallet trucks can lift and are used to transport palleted products in a warehouse or distribution centre at ground level.
• Stackers: these are pallet trucks that can lift items at height, perfect for a low-level racked warehouse situation.
• Reach trucks: the next step up, a reach truck is what is needed when you run a high-level warehouse.
• Order pickers: these vehicles come in many variations to suit many warehouse designs, i.e., extended forks for larger product items.
• 4-way reach trucks: perfect for linear warehousing or a working situation where space is limited, a four-way reach truck can travel in any direction while maintaining a load in one position.
• Tow trucks & tractors: for use with trailers or linked wheeled palletisation.

Forklifts: LPG, or electric for use in a warehouse or diesel at an outdoor depot setting, the forklift vehicle comes in a range of sizes and has become more specialized over time as logistical operations have become more sophisticated.

Telescopic handlers: these reach-and-load vehicles are perfect for external working and remain stable in all manner of job-site conditions.

Port equipment

• Reach stackers: the big guns of the material handling world can move and stack shipping containers, logs, and other loose materials.
• Container handlers are built to deliver logistical solutions in a busy port or depot environment.
• Terminal tractors: Once a load has been delivered by a road-going vehicle, this is the equipment needed to transport your containerised product to where it needs to be within the confines of a larger job site or distribution centre such as a port or border depot.
