Warehouses are known for being chaotic environments where there is constant movement. However, the systems that are in place can make them less labor-intensive and chaotic.
The ability to stock the right amount of stock in a smaller space allows you to reduce your time for internal operations, such as picking up and transporting goods. You can also control inventory remotely, reduce operational costs, and optimize the flow in your facility.

Material handling has four dimensions that affect efficient product flow through your warehouse.
Engineered systems are a collection of units that work together to allow storage and transport. They can be automated. An example is the Automated Storage and Retrieval System. It's a large, automated organization that has racks and shelves. The shuttle system is either a fully-automatic or manual cherry picker that can quickly find a storage item and retrieve it for you.
Material handling equipment allows your employees to transport, locate and pick inventory. This will allow them to be more productive and competent with other tasks.
4. Ergonomics: Recognize the limitations and abilities of your employees by investing in ergonomic equipment. This will ensure safety at work.
You can store and handle materials for short or lengthy periods depending on what your warehouse needs are.
2. Standardization: Standardize equipment and processes to produce predictable results. So, if you have boxes of the exact same size, your team must anticipate future changes to box sizes. This will allow you to choose equipment that can more efficiently transport smaller boxes.
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.
The industrial material handling equipment includes a variety of tools, vehicles and storage units as well as accessories that are used in the transport, control, monitoring, enumerating, and protecting of products at every stage of their manufacturing, distribution, consumption, or disposal.

Storage equipment is any piece of equipment that is used to hold or buffer materials over time (and may include transport); typically, it helps preserve valuable work floor space. Having enough working space is critical for product protection, worker safety, and lean manufacturing.
Storage, engineered systems, industrial trucks, and bulk material handling are the four major categories of material handling equipment.
