Bulk materials handling

Bulk materials handling is the process of moving large quantities of items, like rocks, metal pieces, soil, or grain, from one place to another. It often requires heavy machinery, like forklifts, cranes, and conveyors. To make it easier, the big items are often stored in big containers like bags, boxes, and bins. The machines then lift the containers and carry them to the right place. Bulk materials handling can help save a lot of time and make it easier to transport big, heavy items.
