 Material Handling
 Material handling involves short-distance movement within the confines
of a building or between a building and a transportation vehicle.
 Selection of material handling depends on :
 Movement
 Time
 Quantity
 Space
 Why Material handling

 Improves Efficiency
 Improves Productivity
 Maximize profit
 Timely Completion
 Types of Handling Equipment
 Hauling Equipment
 Hoisting Equipment
 Conveying Equipment
 Hauling equipment

 The equipment used for transportation of material are known as

hauling equipment or simply haulers.
 Haulers may operate on the roadways or railways
 It involve
 Transportation of building materials,

 Carriage and disposal of excavated earth

 Haulage of heavy construction equipment.

 Hauling equipment
These are classified based on method of dumping the load

1. Dump trucks
a) Side or rear dump trucks
b) Bottom dump trucks
2. Tippers or Dumpers
 Dump trucks

 These are used for earth moving purpose.

 The selection of the type of dump trucks for a specific job depend on
the soil condition.

(a) Side or rear dump trucks-

 These are heavy duty trucks with strongly built body which is hinged
on the truck chassis at the rear end in the case of rear dump and to
the hinged side in case of the side dump, through the action of
Hydraulic Jacks.
 These trucks are suitable for use in hauling wet clay, sand, gravel,
quarry rocks etc.
Rear Dump Truck
Side Dump Truck
 Bottom dump trucks
 The body of the truck remains in the same position and the discharge
of the material takes place through its bottom after opening of two
longitudinal gates.

 The gates are hinged to the side of the body.

 These trucks are suitable for use in hauling free flowing material,
such as, sand, gravel, dry earth, hard clay etc.
Bottom dump trucks
 Dumpers

 High speed pneumatic

wheeled trucks
 Short chassis
 Strong bodies
 Loading, hauling and
dumping is done very fast
as compared to other
equipment
 Suitable for short hauls
on rough roads
 Specially where a shuttle
movement is required.
 Bobcat
Bucket loaders are generically vehicles with a bucket on the front that
goes up and down and tilts to dump(but importantly not generally in-
and-out or side-to-side).
 Forklift
 A forklift is a powered industrial truck used to lift and move
materials over short distances.
 Hoisting equipment

 Hoisting is the lifting a weight from one location and moving it to

another location which 1s at a reasonable distance.
 Big projects such as, construction of dams, industrial buildings etc.
require hoisting equipment.
 Hoisting equipment includes jacks, winches, chain hoists and
cranes.
 Crane is the only single machine which, as a single piece, is capable
of providing three-dimensional movement of a weight.
 Cranes are broadly classified as

1. Stationary or derrick cranes

2. Mobile cranes
3. Overhead or gantry cranes
4. Traveler cranes
5. Tower cranes
 Derrick crane

 Consist of a mast, a boom and a bull wheel on which the boom

rotates about a vertical axis and guys or supporting members.

 Electrically operated, diesel operated or diesel-electrically operated.

 The boom can revolve through 360°.

 This crane is used for heavy loads up to 200 tons.

Derrick Crane
 Mobile cranes

 These cranes are mounted on mobile units which is either crawler type or
wheel type.
 Truck cranes have high mobility while the crawler mounted cranes move
slowly.
 Crawler mounted cranes are capable of moving on rough terrain.
 Mobile Crane

Crawler Mobile Crane Wheel Mobile Crane

 Overhead or Gantry crane
 Large service area.
 Freedom from floor obstructions and three-way mobility,
 Widely used in erection, foundry, steel plants, storage yards and different
types of industrial works.
 These type of cranes consist of two main parts i.e., the bridge and the
crab.
 The bridge consists of two main girders fixed at their end to end and
capable of moving on gantry rails.
 The crab consists of the hoisting gear mounted on a frame.
 The frame itself is mounted on another set of wheels and capable of
travelling across the main girder.
Overhead or Gantry crane
 Traveler Crane
 Travelling or bridge cranes have their crabs moving on girders

 which are supported on legs instead of on overhead gantry track as used in

overhead cranes.

 The legs are capable of moving on tracks laid on the floor.

Traveler Crane
 Tower Crane
 Tower cranes are actually a derrick crane mounted on a steel tower.

 Tower cranes are usually used for industrial and residential high-rise
buildings

 These are commonly used for assembly of industrial plants with steel
structures.

 The main parts of tower crane are under carriage, slewing ,platform,
tower with operator’s cabin and jibs.

 The tower has a truss structure welded from steel bars and channels.
 TOWER CRANE
The tower crane will have a maximum service wind speed, usually about 72
kph and would have to be substantially reduced according to the area and
weight of the load being handled by the crane.

The crane operator must be given sufficient authority to decide when the
crane should be put out of service because of high winds and his inability to
control the load.
 TOWER CRANE Selection
 When the selection of a tower crane is being made against environmental
considerations the following shall be taken into account.
 Overall area to be covered

 The height of the building

 The required speed of the lift

 Weight of critical loads

 The type of base or mounting

 Existing ground conditions

 All proximity hazards

 Types of jib

 Erection

 Dismantling
Tower Crane
 Tower Crane Parts
• A crane with a fixed vertical mast that is topped by a rotating boom and
equipped with a winch for hoisting and lowering loads.

• The winch can be moved along the boom so that any location within the
diameter of the boom can be reached.

• Its often rise hundreds of feet into the air and can reach out just as far.

• The construction crew uses the tower crane to lift the building materials:

• steel, concrete, large tools like generators, and a wide variety of other
building materials.
 Tower Crane Parts
 Mast: the main supporting tower of the crane.
 It is made of steel trussed sections that are connected during
installation.
 Slewing Unit: the slewing unit sits at the top of the mast.
 This is the engine that enables the crane to rotate.
 Operating Cabin: the operating cabin sits just above the slewing unit.
 It contains the operating controls.
 Jib: the jib, or operating arm, extends horizontally from the crane.
 "luffing" jib is able to move up and down.
 fixed jib has a rolling trolley that runs along the underside to move
goods horizontally.
 Tower Crane Parts
• Hook: the hook (or hooks) is used to connect the material to the crane.

• It hangs at the end of thick steel cables that run along the jib to the
motor.

• Weights: Large concrete counterweights are mounted toward the rear of

the mast, to compensate for the weight of the goods lifted.

• A tower crane should only be operated by a trained and competent

operator who is physically fit, including eyesight and hearing, conversant
with the type of crane, and able to cope with the conditions existing on
site.
 Tower Crane Parts

 When the driver is required to move loads under the control of

another person, a suitable slinger/signaler should be provided who is
conversant with the lifting capabilities of the tower crane and able to
communicate clearly with the driver via hand or radio signals.

 The tower crane driver must be capable of carrying out a weekly

inspection of his crane and should be given sufficient time to do this.

 A report of such an inspection must be made in an appropriate

document.
 SUPENDED PLATFORM HOIST

This Hoist is used for lilting/ Shifting Materials and it can be used for
Painting and Glazing works
 Conveying equipment

 Transporting material from one place to another over a stationary

Structure
 Caries material in continuous stream with its distinct feature such as
endless chain or belt.
 Can be done horizontally, vertically or inclined.
 When the equipment does horizontal conveying, it is known as
conveyor and when it does vertical, it is known as elevator.
 Conveying are mainly used in mining, construction and in some of the
industries.
 In construction industry, conveyors are mainly used for concreting
Purpose
 The Advantage of using conveyors

 It increases the output.

 It facilitates continuity in operation.

 It results in time saving.

 There are no waiting periods.

 Some of the popular conveyors

 Belt conveyor

 Screw conveyor

 Bucket conveyor
 Belt conveyor

 Used when large quantities of materials have to be conveyed over

long distances at fast speed.
 It consists of a belt running over a pair of end drums or pulleys and
supported at regular intervals by a series of rollers.
 These Rollers are supported on a conveyor frame.
 The middle sag provided in the belt prevent the spilling of material.
 Generally, rubber is most commonly used as conveyor belt.
Belt conveyor
The advantages of using belt conveyor
 It can handle light as well as heavy materials, dry or wet, fine or
coarse etc.
 It can convey several thousand tons of material per hour and for
distances of several kilometers.
 It can carry material horizontally or inclined.
 It is lighter in weight then other conveyors.
 It gives controlled discharge of material i.e.; discharge can be
controlled by the speed of the belt.
 Screw Conveyor

 Widely used for handling granular or pulverized material.

 The quantity of material conveyed is less compared to the
conveyor, but at the same time the cost is also less.
 A screw conveyor consists of a helix mounted on a bearing at the
ends and at intermediate points and is driven by a motor from
one end.
 The material enters the belt at one end is carried to the other
end by screwing action of helix.
 The length of the conveyor is about 65m.
Screw Conveyor
 Bucket conveyor

 It has buckets in the shape of ‘V’ which are open at the top.

 They may be feeder loaded or may drag in a vertical movement or

along an incline.

 The length of these type of conveyors are generally limited to 25 m.

(due to weight of the conveyor and strength of the chains.)

 This type of conveyer is mainly used in coal handling where bucket

elevators carry the material vertically.
