In the steel fabrication and ironworking industry, the action of "material handling" usually refers to moving materials from storage to machines for processing or after processing to storage areas.
Material handling is something a lot of people don't think about when it comes to productivity. Most people would look for machines that will do the actual processing to speed up their productions. Often, this is usually NOT the case. Many people would find out the tasks of bring the materials to the processing center and out of the processing center sometimes takes much longer than the processing itself. As a result, in fabrication shops where heavy, long, unbearable materials move from place to place all the time for processing, material handling is probably the MOST important equipment you will ever need even before the processing equipments.
At AMTEK, when it comes to material handling, we put our products to the worst tests and in the most hazardous environments to make sure they will withstand any natural conditions and usage.
The BEST way to describe a roller conveyor is a mechanical device with round pipes or round solids that rotates using some types of bearings to transport heavy materials horizontally
The BEST way to describe a cross transfer is a mechanical device that can lift the material up off the storage or roller surface and transport it to another storage or roller surface
