23
Q
  1. Equipment used to move material from one location to another. The major subcategories of transport equipment are conveyors, cranes, and industrial trucks. Material can also be transported manually using no equipment. –
A

transport equipment

24
Q
  1. Equipment used to restrict materials so that they maintain their integrity when handled a single load during transport and for storage. If materials are self-restraining (e.g., a single part or interlocking parts), then they can be formed into a unit load with no equipment. –
A

unit load formation equipment

25
Q
  1. Equipment used to handle material at a single location. Unlike transport equipment, positioning equipment is usually used for handling at a single workplace. Material can also be positioned manually using no equipment. –
A

positioning equipment

26
Q
  1. Equipment used to collect and communicate the information that is used to coordinate the flow of materials within a facility and between a facility and its suppliers and customers. –
A

identification and control equipment

27
Q
  1. Equipment used for holding or buffering materials over a period of time. Some storage equipment may include the transport of materials. If materials are block stacked directly on the floor, then no storage equipment is required. –
A

storage equipment

28
Q
  1. Platform with enough clearance beneath its top surface to enable the insertion of forks for subsequent lifting purpose.
