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.
