In-plant transportation machinery

In-plant transportation machinery is used to convey goods within a plant. This includes universal transport equipment such as trolleys and carts, lifting equipment such as manipulators and cranes, auxiliary transport equipment such as pallets and boxes, and conveyor equipment such as roller and belt conveyors.

This transportation equipment is most frequently encountered in the logistics sector and goods distribution. Important types of machine include forklift trucks, pallet trucks and order pickers. Since the associated tasks of workers are primarily loading, unloading and transporting, it is important that these machines provide the best possible support to the workers in completing these tasks.

Roller and belt conveyors

Roller and belt conveyors are fixed facilities along which material and goods are moved mechanically or manually by workers in a horizontal plane.
