Unit Load Principle (unitizing)
In general, the unit load should be as large as practical for
the material handling system that will move and store it
A unit load is the mass that is to be moved or otherwise
handled at one time
Reasons for using unit loads in material handling:
Multiple items handled simultaneously
Required number of trips is reduced
Loading/unloading times are reduced
Product damage is decreased

Roller Conveyor
Pathway consists of a
series of rollers that are
perpendicular to direction of
travel
Loads must possess a flat
bottom to span several
rollers
Powered rollers rotate to
drive the loads forward
Un-powered roller
conveyors also available
