109 #2 Introduction to Materials Handling

What is the objective of completing the module on Introduction to Material Handling?

• To identify and use various types of laboratory equipment

• To identify various types of material handling equipment and describe how they are used

• To learn about the history of material handling

• To design material handling systems

Which type of material handling equipment does the module aim to identify and describe?

• Motorized and non-motorized

• Electrical and manual

• Hydraulic and pneumatic

• Fixed and portable

Hand trucks are specifically designed to handle:

• Light-weight materials

• Compressed gases

• Large, heavy loads

• Electrical equipment

Cylinder carts are mainly used to transport:

• Boxes and crates

• Compressed gases in cylinders or bottles

• Construction materials

• Food and beverages

What are roller skids used for in material handling?

• Transporting large pieces of pipe

• Moving materials that are placed on a surface table and pushed

• Carrying heavy loads over long distances

• Lifting materials off the ground

Which device is described as a two-wheeled vehicle used for transporting medium-length pieces of pipe, tubing, or scaffolding?

• Roller skids

• Wheelbarrows

• Pipe mules

• Pipe transports

What is the primary difference between pipe mules and pipe transports?

• Pipe mules have four wheels, while pipe transports have two

• Pipe transports are used for larger pieces of pipe compared to pipe mules

• Pipe mules are manually operated, while pipe transports are motorized

• There is no difference; they are the same device

What is the main use of wheelbarrows in material handling?

• Transporting small loads with the help of handles at the rear

• Moving large machinery across a factory floor

• Carrying pipes and scaffolding

• Lifting heavy materials onto higher surfaces

What is the purpose of a pallet jack?

• To lift and move light boxes

• To transport materials between floors

• To lift and move heavy or stacked pallets

• To ensure a clear path for workers

What does a spotter do in a workplace?

• Operates powered vehicles

• Ensures there is a clear, unobstructed path for workers carrying long loads

• Moves heavy concrete with a wheeled device

• Transports materials using an elevator
