Moving materials is an important process within many warehouses, distribution centers, and factories around the world.

The size and shape of these materials vary greatly, depending on the type of industry each organization is located in. Materials can range from standard pallet and container sizes to odd-shaped parts and tools, all the way to food and other perishable items.
