Short answer: Material handling equipment uses galvanized or stainless steel for racking and conveyor in corrosive or food duty, high-strength steel for forks and masts, aluminium for light structures, and cast or fabricated frames for casters and cranes, balancing load rating, wear and hygiene.
At a Glance
Load and Wear
Racks and conveyors carry repeated load and abrasion, so strength and finish lead, with the basis in our Metal Strength Comparison and hardness in our Hardness Comparison.
Hygiene and Corrosion
Food and pharma lines use stainless for cleanability, with care in our Corrosion Protection Guide and finish in our Surface Treatment Guide; the mining link is our Mining Equipment Guide.
Fabrication and Joining
Frames are welded and machined, with methods in our Welding Joining Guide e Machining Guide; lightweight options use our Aluminium Supplier range.
Quality and Sourcing
Welds and loads are verified by inspection, with methods in our Quality Inspection Guide; buyers confirm grade via our Mill Test Certificate Guide and pack per our Export Packing Guide.
