What is material handling?

Material handling refers to moving and transporting goods within business premises, a warehouse or a workshop. Think of moving boxes and crates with a sack truck, shifting heavy cabinets and machines on furniture dollies, and storing and transporting goods on pallets. With the right material handling equipment, your team works more efficiently and with less physical strain.

Working safely with material handling equipment

Material handling involves risks, so safety always comes first. Make sure a tool is suitable for the weight and size of the load, that walkways are clear and unobstructed, and that staff use the equipment correctly. Good equipment prevents damage to goods and to your employees' backs. Unsure about the right model or load capacity? Our expert customer service team is happy to advise you.

Our range of material handling equipment

Trolleys

The trolleys is the workhorse of every warehouse: ideal for quickly moving boxes, crates and bags. Our sack trucks are sturdily built and suitable for intensive daily use. A folding model also saves space when the truck is not in use.

Furniture dollies

Furniture dollies (also called furniture skates or transport rollers) make moving heavy cabinets, machines and furniture easy. Place the load on the rollers and move it effortlessly across a flat floor — without lifting and without damage. Indispensable for relocations, refits and moving heavy equipment.

Pallets

For storage and transport, Kortpack offers a wide range of pallets. Choose from hygienic, lightweight plastic pallets, strong wooden pallets or sustainable wood-fibre pallets. Also available in compact sizes such as 60 × 40 cm and 80 × 60 cm, perfect for smaller loads, display transport or an efficient layout of your racking.

Cabinets and additional equipment

In addition, this category features supplementary products for setting up your workplace and warehouse, so you can order everything for your internal logistics from a single supplier.

Which material handling equipment do you need?

Choose according to the load and the task: for moving boxes, crates and loose goods, use a sack truck; for shifting heavy cabinets, machines or furniture, use furniture dollies; and for storing, stacking or preparing goods for transport, choose pallets in the right size and material. With every choice, consider the maximum load, the dimensions of the load and the type of surface.

Frequently asked questions

What does material handling include?

Material handling is moving and transporting goods within business premises, a warehouse or a workshop: moving boxes with a sack truck, shifting heavy furniture on furniture dollies, and storing and transporting goods on pallets.

Which sack truck should I choose?

That depends on the weight and size of the goods you move and on the available storage space. For heavy or varying loads, choose a sturdier model; if you have little space, a folding sack truck is practical.

What is the difference between plastic, wooden and wood-fibre pallets?

Plastic pallets are hygienic, lightweight and easy to rinse. Wooden pallets are strong and inexpensive and suitable for heavier loads. Wood-fibre pallets are light, stackable and sustainable, ideal for export and single use.

Can I pay on account as a business?

Yes. Businesses and government bodies can pay on account at Kortpack.
