When goods are not in use, storage and handling equipment protects them.
Loose materials include liquids, food, and minerals such as rocks and stones. They can also include metal items such as bolts or nails.

There are many kinds of industrial trucks. Some trucks can be lifted with forks or on a flat surface, while others may need additional equipment. You can find small, manual machines as well as larger, more powerful, drivable trucks in the industrial truck category.
2. Standardization: Standardize your processes and equipment to achieve predictable results. However, you should still be flexible. Your team should be able to anticipate future changes in the size of boxes, so that you can use equipment that can move smaller or larger boxes.
Engineered Systems include many units that work together to facilitate storage and transportation. These systems are often automated. One example of an engineered structure is the Automated Storage and Retrieval System. Also known as AS/RS, it is an automated organization system that uses racks, aisles and shelves to retrieve items. A mechanized cherry picker, or shuttle system, can quickly locate the storage item and retrieve it quickly for another purpose.
When structuring your material-handling system, efficiency should be the key. Effective logistics are essential when responding to and planning warehouse and customer requirements. Because outbound and inbound inventory material handling processes are equally important.
GSS Machinery, a remote warehouse management platform and support platform, collects data from your AS/RS whenever they are located in your warehouse.

Heavy loads should be placed on the lower or middle shelves. Long, tall, or top-heavy items should be stored on their sides or secured to prevent tipping. To access materials in higher locations, place ladders on stable, level surfaces and use stair platforms. Properly lift materials.
