Industrial trucks (material handling trucks) refer to the different kinds of transportation items and vehicles used to move materials and products in materials handling. These transportation devices can include small hand-operated trucks, pallet jacks, and various kinds of forklifts. These trucks have a variety of characteristics to make them suitable for different operations. Some trucks have forks, as in a forklift, or a flat surface with which to lift items, while some trucks require a separate piece of equipment for loading. Trucks can also be manual or powered lift and operation can be walk or ride, requiring a user to manually push them or to ride along on the truck. A stack truck can be used to stack items, while a non-stack truck is typically used for transportation and not for loading.
Both the EMS Lift & Carry and the EMS Continuous Chain Cross Transfers have a lifting capacity of 5’ tons per section and are built up to 60’ in length. They are built as standard transfers (in & out of a roller conveyor) and also as through transfers (going through the datum line.) These units can be custom built to your shop's size and specifications.
Full pallet transfers can be made using a wedge lift that is powered by an electric cylinder. This arrangement allows for precise vertical travel and stable support in the raised as well as the lowered positions.
Material handling can be used across industries, but is typically utilized in warehousing, where goods need to be securely stored, retrieved, and shipped.
At GSS Machinery, our automated solutions are designed to integrate into each stage of the supply chain and help you follow the key principles of material handling to ensure a seamless operation.
Material handling involves more than just the inventory management. It involves the movement, protection and storage of materials and products during their entire lifecycle, from manufacturing to disposal. Material handling is a collection of components that help keep the supply chain running smoothly. You can choose from a range of equipment (manual, semi-automated or automated) as well systems (single level storage, multi-level stock, conveyors, etc. ).
"We have been customers for more than 15 years. GSS Machinery has a wide range of products at very affordable prices. They offer excellent advice and materials, as well as suggestions and information about a range of storage problems.
Both chain and pop-up transfer options are available. The overall system arrangement and design are key factors in deciding which transfer should be included. A pop-up roll transfer offers the possibility of loading loads with continuous support along a conveyor chainbox.
“GSS Machinery is by far my favorite vendor, the customer service and dedication to making sure every order is complete and on time. Fantastic communication, and an absolute pleasure to work with.”
Material handling systems and processes in a company are designed to improve customer service, reduce inventory and delivery times, as well as lower handling costs for manufacturing, distribution, or transportation.
GSS Machinery Storage Systems is a company we have been using for many years. Their staff is wonderful to work alongside and ensures a smooth installation. Their attention to detail has made them a valuable asset to our company.
Storage and handling equipment can keep materials for short or long periods of time, depending on your warehouse’s needs.
With materials handling systems and the proper equipment, employees aren’t required to lift heavy items and reach high storage areas.
System of Belt Conveyors
A belt conveyor, also known as a conveyor belt, is a simple conveyor with few features that is primarily used to transport bulk materials such as sand, salt, and grain. Its simplicity makes it simple to use and one of the most common types of conveyors.
Because this is an important decision point, conveyors are classified as either floor style or overhead style. Overhead styles come in a variety of shapes and sizes (see this graphic here on the different types).
Transfers move packages from one conveyor to another. The most common type is straight transfers, which are used to connect individual conveyors in a longer line. These conveyors are typically used in straight transfer applications: From one roller to the next. Belt to live roller
