It also includes storage, protection, control, and movement of materials and products over their lifetime of production, warehousing and distribution. Consumption and disposal are all possible. Material handling covers a wide range of components necessary to maintain a supply chain. These include a variety equipment types (manual and semi-automated), and systems (single and multi-level storages, conveyors, etc. ).

Material handling is a way to improve efficiency and ensure that the logistics system can respond quickly to both customer and plant demands. Locating stock is key to efficient goods movement into the warehouse. Orders must be filled accurately and orders prepared quickly for shipment to customers. Material handling is essential for outbound logistics. Materials handling acts in the same manner as company plants when it comes to inbound logistics. Materials handling needs must be integrated by firms to not only meet the needs of their departments but also those of their customers.
The various types of transport items and vehicles used in the transportation of materials and products are called industrial trucks or material handling trucks. These transport devices include small hand-operated trucks as well as pallet jacks and different types of forklifts. There are many characteristics that make these trucks suitable for different types of operations. Some trucks are equipped with forks (a forklift) or flat surfaces that allow you to lift things. Other trucks need a separate piece for loading. There are two types of trucks: powered lift or manual. They can be ridden or pushed manually by the operator. A stack truck can be used for stacking items, while non-stack trucks are used for transporting goods and not loading.
