The purpose of this blog is to find out more about the latest types of material handling equipment (MHE) in the current industry. There are many types of MHEs in the industry and this blog wish to discover them one by one in details.
MHEs are commonly used in warehouses and distribution centres to lift, transport, pick, load, unload, store, control and move heavy cargos in a more efficient and safe manner. MHEs have enhanced logistical operations over the years and the use of MHEs is inevitable in modern warehouse operations and supply chain. Every year, there will be MHEs exhibitions, such as the Promat2007 and NA2006, to showcase latest MHEs products and at the same time offer industry expertise on the latest productivity innovations.
In order to constantly add value to products, new types of MHEs are also developed. This blog also aims to discover not only the latest but some of the new practices, trends and types of MHEs.
