The aim of material handling equipment is to assist with the movement and storage of material within a facility such as a clothing factory or apparel warehouse.  The material handling equipment can be classified into the following major types.

Transport Equipment: This equipment is used to move material from one place to another. Main types of transport equipment includes conveyors, cranes, pallet trucks, and industrial trucks.

Positioning Equipment: This sort of equipment is essentially used to handle or adjust materials at a single location in order to use for subsequent handling, transport, or storage.  Positioning equipment, unlike transport equipment, is used for handling at a single workplace.
