Forklifts I.
Definition of materials handling
Organized motion of goods and materials which covers shorter distances and
the state of the transported object doesn’t change.
In a typical factory, MH accounts for 24% of all employees, 55% of the space,
and 87% of the production time.
It accounts for between 15% to 70% of the cost of a product.

Materials handling related features of solid bulk
materials
Solid bulk materials:
- typically homogeneous materials
- transport and loading in greater masses, without packaging
Materials handling related features of solid bulk materials:
-grain size (average, max, min)
- grain-size distribution
- bulk-density
- friction coefficient on solid surfaces
- moisture content
- cohesion
- friability (fragile)
- flowability
- abrasiveness
- corrosiveness
- temperature
- frozen
- health-threatening
Materials handling related features of solid bulk
materials
Examples :
Ashes: abrasive when dry, corrosive when wet
Charcoal: dusty (explosive dusts)
Cement: entrains air, compacts in storage, must not contact
with moisture
Grass seed: gentle handling
Sulphur: danger from static sparks, risk of ignition, corrosive
when wet
Iron ore: may be in large fragments
Wheat: hygienic conditions
