Loose materials include liquids, food, and minerals such as rocks and stones. They can also include metal items such as bolts or nails.
While warehouses are known to be busy work environments with constant movement, they don’t have to be chaotic or labor-intensive, as long as the proper systems are in place.

Storage equipment is usually limited to non-automated examples, which are grouped in with engineered systems. Storage equipment is used to hold or buffer materials during “downtimes,” or times when they are not being transported. These periods could refer to temporary pauses during long-term transportation or long-term storage designed to allow the buildup of stock. The majority of storage equipment refers to pallets, shelves or racks onto which materials may be stacked in an orderly manner to await transportation or consumption. Many companies have investigated increased efficiency possibilities in storage equipment by designing proprietary packaging that allows materials or products of a certain type to conserve space while in inventory.
