Non-automated storage equipment tends to be the most common. They are often grouped together with engineered systems. When materials are not being transported, storage equipment is used for holding or buffering them. These periods could be temporary pauses during long term transportation or long term storage to allow stock buildup. Most storage equipment refers primarily to racks, shelves and pallets that allow materials to be stored in an organized manner for transport or consumption.
