Materials Handling


Basic Principles The best handling solutions involve the least handling. Handling adds to the cost but not to the value of the product. The choice of the right equipment or system to optimise material flow is broadly a definition of MATERIALS HANDLING and includes cranes, conveyors, automated vehicles, tractors, free ranging forklifts, order pickers, stackers and pallet trucks.

The unit load Products, whether they be cartons, bags, cans, bottles, drums or sacks are assembled together to form a unit load. The commonly used base on which unit loads are formed are flat, wooden (sometimes plastic) pallets, ISO containers, roll cages and tote bins. Others are stillages, box and cage pallets, bulk containers, for example.

Palletless handling Products are often handled without pallets using specialised attachments in place of forks: bales, white goods, cookers, carpets, tyres, drums, beer kegs, paper rolls and milk crates are just some of the many products where attachments are utilised.

Materials Handling


The Application It is essential to consider all aspects of an application in order to ensure that the most suitable equipment is specified and the best handling solution selected. Important factors are:

The load and the pallet or other load base type a) Pallet details Length; width; depth; type, ie any base boards; pallet underhang under forks; are the base boards chamfered? two- or four-way access? b) Load details Weight; length when stacked on pallet; width when stacked on pallet; overall height of load and pallet; type of load: cartons, bags, sacks etc; is the load shrink wrapped?

Type of storage Block stack, fixed racking, mobile racking and so on. Stack height What is the maximum top shelf height onto which loads must be lifted? This will determine height of lift and define nominal and residual capacities. The forks have to lift the pallet above the top shelf with sufficient underclearance to place the load on the top shelf (mast deflections must also be taken into account).

Overhead obstructions Is there sufficient clear headroom over the stacking area with the mast fully raised? Note any overhead obstructions either in the aisle or on the travelling route. This will determine whether free lift or triplex masts are necessary. Allow for possible future changes to the application.

Materials Handling


The Application Distances To determine whether pedestrian or rider equipment is required, the average and maximum distances covered in a typical work cycle need to be established. Sometimes a tractor/trailer system may be the preferable method. Surfaces/gradients The length of any gradient is important as well as its surface and slope. This determines the truck and battery capacity and, sometimes, the type of wheel/tyre equipment. It is also very pertinent to record the types of surfaces on the level areas. Working area and duty Inside or outside, order picking, lorry loading/unloading, loading docks, container stuffing, public roads. Careful study and definition is needed.

Environment Operating in a cold store? Ambient temperature? Abrasive/dusty atmosphere? Hazardous material? Brine or salty conditions? Chemicals? Other factors (a) Hours per shift and number of shifts. (b) Number of pallets in and pallets out per shift. (c) Any peak periods? If so, when. (d) Electricity supply, ie single phase, three phase. (e) Delivery access: ground level/loading dock. (f) How many loading docks?

Materials Handling


Pallets & Stillages Wooden pallets vary in dimensions and in design, although there has been some success towards standardisation in Europe. An aperture is required between the top and bottom decks for fork entry. Where there are bottom boards they must be suitably spaced for use with pallet trucks. Some examples of typical pallet design are shown here: Four-way entry flat pallet with blocks as spacers. Top deck includes three transverse stringers, while bottom boards occur on two sides only. On the other two (800mm) sides, entry is provided without bottom boards. The Europallet is a typical example (800 x 1200mm). Four-way entry flat pallet with perimeter base. Bottom deck is boarded on all four sides so that a pallet truck always enters over the bottom boards which are usually chamfered. This type of pallet is used widely in the UK (1000 x 1200 mm).

Materials Handling


Pall allet etss & St Still illag ages es Roll cage comprises a deck with wheels and castors and meshed side frames to retain the loads. It is widely used in order picking and distribution of consumer goods.

Pallet collar is used to convert a conventional flat pallet into a box pallet to store loose components, for example.

Box pallet with sides and stacking feet is used to contain loads of small articles; for example, automotive parts.

Pallet converter is a metal frame which is fitted to a normal wooden pallet to allow block stacking of crushable loads.

This list is by no means definitive and only mentions the most commonly used load platforms.

Materials Handling


Palletless Handling & Specialised Fork Options A wide variety of attachments is available for fitment to counterbalance and reach trucks for palletless handling of various products. Examples Examples are illustrat illustrated ed and briefly brief ly described; we can advise on selecting the right type for your specific requirements.

Standard forged steel forks of various lengths are laterally adjustable, and usually have a slight taper on the underside; the top face is flat, primarily for handling palletised loads.

Fork extensions are metal sleeves which slide on to the forks and lock into place enabling longer loads to be handled. The extension must not be more than 50% longer than the original forks (40% for trucks over over 5,000 5,000 kg) and the load carried should not overhang the extension. Residual capacity will be reduced with extensions fitted. Carriage backrest extension is a guar guard d fitted fitted to the the fork fork carriage to give support to the load when the mast is tilted backwards. Various heights are available. Call 0845 608 5000 for further information

7

Materials Handling


Palletless Handling & Specialised Fork Options Crane attachment is fitted to the fork carriage in lieu of forks and converts the truck to a mobile crane. The appropriate lifting regulations then apply.

Boom (ram) attachment allows loads with a central core (tyres, coils, etc) to be handled without a pallet. Carpet boom is a special boom for handling rolls of carpet; the boom being inserted into the central core of the carpet. Drum grip is a nonpowered device; fitted either to the fork carriage or the forks which automatically grips the top rim of the drum. Another type uses self-acting clamping arms. Both can be used to handle one or two drums in the upended position. 8

Call 0845 608 5000 for further informatio information n

Materials Handling


Palletless Handling & Specialised Fork Options The following attachments are hydraulically powered and require one or more hydraulic supplies to the fork carriage according to the number of functions. The attachment is mounted on the fork carriage in lieu of forks.

Sideshift provides limited (eg 75-100mm) lateral movement for accurate positioning of the load. Sideshifts can be integral (as shown) or hang-on type. Double pallet handlers allows two pallets to be handled side by side allowing fast movement of uniform loads. Multiple pallet handlers are also available. Load clamp for handling bales, cases or other suitable loads by clamping action. There are a wide range of arms to suit the load including dual-purpose arms such as pivoting forks for clamping bales or other loads, or for use as forks for palletised loads. An integral sideshift can be incorporated. Carton clamp is similar in action to a load clamp with integral sideshift. Fitted with large contact pads on articulated arms, it is used to handle unit loads such as white goods.


9

Materials Handling


Palletless Handling & Specialised Fork Options Rotating paper roll clamp handles paper rolls by clamping using articulated contact pads, then rotating them to the vertical position for stacking on end. Splitroll units are available for handling two or more rolls of the same size. Rotating fork unit is a rotating head (180 to 360 degrees), fitted with forks for handling bins etc., which need to be rotated to discharge the contents.

Load push-pull The load is carried on a slip-sheet instead of a pallet. The push-pull has two broad platens in lieu of forks. The load is pulled on to the platens by a gripper, and pushed off by a pusher plate. The attachment is also available with alternative functions including sideshift, if required. Load stabiliser is used to stabilise high loads. The load is carried on standard forks and the attachment has a top pad hydraulically powered to exert pressure on top of the load to ensure stability.

10


Materials Handling


Palletless Handling & Specialised Fork Options Double deep extending forks enable loads to be stacked two deep in the rack to increase space utilisation.

Other attachments are available for many specialised requirements, some examples of which are: Non-powered attachments include: tines and round forks for lifting drums etc; thin section forks for use where aperture entry is restricted; other custom-made forks and fork extensions etc. Powered attachments for specialised applications cover a wide range, eg: l Fork

positioners; sideshift optional. l Paper roll tippling clamps (upenders), rotation optional. l Brick clamp, for unit pack of bricks. l Hydraulic scoops; and others. l Cask clamp and stabiliser, for handling beer kegs. We have extensive experience in the selection and use of attachments.

Materials Handling


Storage Methods Unit loads are stacked to optimise storage space and ensure efficient distribution. The layout and storage method chosen depends on several factors: l Throughput frequency required (ABC analysis) l Type

of product l First In First Out requirement l Turnover rates l Accessibility to individual loads l Dedicated or random storage l Storage capacity needs. Stacking methods include:

Block stacking. Offers high density storage but restricts access to individual loads, and stacking height is limited by the crushability and stability of the product being stored (unless pallet converters are used). First In Last Out. Usually used for high turnover of limited number of product lines. Drive-in racking. High density storage with crushability factor removed since each pallet is separated from the one below. Usually First In Last Out, but can be First In First Out if an aisle is located at each end of storage lane to create drive through racking but this reduces the available storage space. Push back racking. High density storage by placing pallets on nested trolleys or rollers within the storage lanes. The pallets are then pushed back along the storage lane by the subsequent loads. Only practical where First In Last Out is acceptable. Restricted individual load access. Static racking. 100% individual load access and First In First Out logistics are provided. Commonly used with reach trucks and counterbalance trucks. Totally flexible with high throughput capability.

12


Materials Handling


Storage Methods Very narrow aisle racking. High density storage combined with 100% individual load access, good space utilisation and high throughput. Double deep racking. As the name implies, pallets are stored two deep. Offers 50% individual load access – First In Last Out. Good space utilisation. Storage capacity is increased by reducing the number of aisles required. Truck is fitted with telescopic or pantograph fork mechanism.

Mobile racking. High density storage while maintaining 100% individual load access. First In First Out. Higher investment costs but good payback for right application.

Gravity racking. Pallets are fed into storage lanes from one side and then roll down incline to be removed from other side of rack. Storage lanes can be several pallets deep. First In First Out. Ideal where high density storage and fast turnover is required. Turnover rates and the number of product lines involved will determine the storage layout using the ABC analysis: A = High turnover, fast throughput B = Average turnover, medium throughput C = Infrequent turnover, slow throughput A items are stored for the fastest access while B and C items are stored progressively further away along the storage aisle.

A unique integrated cold store cab is available for the Linde reach truck range which creates a superb ambient working environment for significant productivity increases.

Very Narrow Aisle System (VNA) A VNA system permits the narrowest working aisles for high density storage, dictated by the load size and not by the operation of the truck. It also achieves the maximum stack heights on racking whilst maintaining 100% load access, high work throughput rates and the flexibility associated with free ranging truck systems in general. Call 0845 608 5000 for further information

19

Application Sectors


Very Narrow Aisle System (VNA) The VNA truck, however, cannot be treated in isolation. This is why we refer to the ‘system’. To be successful, all elements of the system must be agreed and achieved: (i)

The customer specified load size and pallet must be maintained.

(ii)

The floor levels have to be to defined standards and high strength is essential.

(iii)

The racking must be correctly erected and maintained to defined tolerances.

(iv)

A guidance system is necessary within the working aisles.

(v)

Pick and deposit stations are required.

(vi)

Stock control disciplines have to match the VNA truck’s capability.

(vii) Efficient communication to and from the truck operator is also important. Linde offers a range of VNA trucks to suit various loads and applications. To assist in ensuring that the maximum benefit is obtained from any proposed very narrow aisle system we have a team of experts available to offer advice.

Safety


Operating & Maintenance Safety of personnel is of prime importance, particularly in the operation of mobile equipment. Broad guidelines only are mentioned here, and it is imperative that all operators should read the relevant publications. For training details, see page 27. 1. Operators must be fully trained, and only those persons trained and authorised to drive should operate trucks, including those for whom it is a secondary function of their jobs: maintenance engineers, delivery drivers, for example. Pre-shift checks of the equipment must always be carried out prior to use. 2. The Health and Safety at Work Act Provision and Safe Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER 98) and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations (LOLER 98) or their equivalent in other countries - must be complied with at all times to ensure that operators and other personnel in the area in which a lift truck is working are not subject to any risks. 3. An operating and safe working handbook is issued for the particular range of Linde trucks, and the operator (and anyone else who may be required to drive, such as a maintenance engineer) should be conversant with all the instructions given, and observe them at all times. 4. All users of industrial trucks should ensure that preventative maintenance is carried out as recommended by the manufacturer. Truck safety depends on regular and thorough maintenance. 5. Lift trucks must be used within their rated capacity at all times. 6. When unusual or bulky loads have to be handled, care is essential to allow for the dynamic effects of exceptional size (refer to Linde).


25

Safety


Operating & Maintenance 7. No person must be lifted on the forks or on a pallet. Only purpose-built equipment should be used. 8. Please ask for advice on any handling requirement which is not covered by the information published. 9. Supervision of operators by suitably trained personnel is as important as the selection, training and authorisation of the operators themselves.

26


Safety


Training To ensure safe and efficient operation of your equipment it is essential that the right personnel are selected to operate and maintain it, and are thoroughly trained in their duties. Professional training courses are available from our national network companies. Tel: 0800 515399.

Operator training. Courses are designed to suit the needs of operators with varying degrees of experience. Other options include a conversion course (for the experienced operator when changing to another type of truck) and programmes for instructors and supervisors. Special courses are also arranged for managers, safety officers and trainability assessors. These options are offered on your own site or at local Linde network centres - and can include training on any brand of truck. If you have some special need, a suitable course geared to your requirements can be considered.

Maintenance training. Comprehensive courses are available at our training centres - or on your own site (providing there are adequate facilities) - related to individual models, as well as specialist courses on electronics and mechanical features. Upon completion of training, your own personnel will be fully equipped to plan and deal with fault finding and rectification. Manual handling training. Courses are also available covering the requirements defined in Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. Training methods. These include the use of the latest visual aids in modern lecture theatres. The operating area is well equipped with trucks, loads and simulated conditions. The maintenance courses include theoretical and practical work, supported by illustrative publications and other material. The theme is: select, train, test, authorise and supervise - all to promote maximum safety, efficiency and productivity.

Rated capacity is reduced as the load centre is increased. This method of estimating relates only to forward moments of the truck (and for a reach truck with reach out), and serves as a guide only. * This figure may reduce as lift height increases.

It does not follow that greater weight can be handled at load centres less than quoted; and at high lift the situation may be governed by other factors. Fork stress, and stress on mast and rollers, must also be taken into account. Consult Linde as necessary to ensure that your truck capacity is correctly assessed for unusual loading conditions. When an attachment is fitted to a fork lift truck, the nominal capacity of the truck is reduced. Consult Linde, providing full details of the load and the application.

Axle and Wheel Loadings Axle loadings can be calculated as shown. To obtain wheel loadings, divide the axle loadings by the number of wheels carried on that axle. (For the purpose of these calculations two load wheels in line, as on a reach truck, are as though carried on a single axle). Truck dimensions, service weight and unladen loadings on each axle must relate to truck specification. Loading on rear, steer axle: QR = unladen, QRL = laden Loading on front, load axle: QF = unladen, QFL = laden Q = load weight Y = wheelbase A = C + X (counterbalance truck) A = C + reach travel – X (reach truck) B=Y–X+C

Floor loadings. In terms of imposed weight per unit of superficial area, floor loadings can be calculated on the basis which is stipulated by the architect. Ground contact pressures. This term refers to the load imposed over the contact area of the tyre, quoted in kilopascals, kg/mm 2, Ib/in 2 or Newtons/mm 2. For a given truck and load, Linde can quote the ground pressures as applicable to the type of tyres used.

Drawbar Pull (Towing) The towing capability of a tractor is defined in terms of drawbar pull quoted in Newtons (N). Two values of drawbar pull (DBP) need to be known: maximum DBP for starting from rest and continuous or rated (rolling) DBP at which the tractor can work for longer periods. Surface Resistance (SR) must also be allowed for; a table is given below in terms of Newtons per tonne towed load. For average calculations we use 400N/tonne starting and 200N/tonne rolling. Data:

DBP

(where the 8% slope is 60m long, the complete cycle, including the return journey, can be performed 10 times per hour). Load/gradient combinations shown by full line can be restarted from stationary on the gradient. The permissible haul per hour is the total distance travelled, including the return journey and any downhill gradients. It is recommended that braked trailers are used for trailer loads exceeding 2.5 tonne and for all trailer loads where a gradient is involved.

Lift trucks. Unlike tractors, counterbalance fork lift trucks only have front wheel braking and rear wheel steering, and therefore their towing capability is restricted for practical safety, braking and steerability reasons. Call 0845 608 5000 for further information

Motive Power – Electric Trucks On electric trucks the battery is the source of energy, and optimum truck performance depends on correct use of the battery and charging equipment.

The battery. The voltage (V) of the battery is determined in the basic design of the truck. In general, for Linde trucks, most pallet trucks and stackers operate at 24 volts, reach trucks at 48 volts and VNA and counterbalance trucks at 48 or 80 volts. The capacity of a battery is usually defined in “Ampere-hours (Ah) at the 5 hour rate”. The true measure, however, of the energy available in a battery and therefore the amount of work it can do per charge, should always be quoted in kilowatt hours (kW h). Thus kW h = V x Ah 1000 A wet battery is filled with electrolyte, a mixture of deionised water and sulphuric acid. Other types of battery are available, eg maintenance-free (gel type). 2H2SO4 (dilute sulphuric acid). Specific gravity is a measure of the density of the sulphuric acid in the electrolyte at any particular state of charge.

These are guide figures only as other factors can also affect the capacity.

Wet batteries should not be discharged below 80% of their rated capacity and maintenance-free batteries below 60%.

Topping up electrolyte. Various systems are available to enable easy manual or automatic topping up of the battery electrolyte and low maintenance batteries are therefore optionally available which minimise gassing and topping up requirements. The charger has to be correctly matched to the battery, ie for the appropriate nominal voltage and its start-of-charge current must be that recommended by the manufacturer to suit the cell capacity. Other factors to be taken into account in choosing the right charger for your specific application requirements are: (a) 12 hour or 8 hour charging period (b) type of AC mains supply to be used (single phase, three phase) (c) voltage Linde can assist in making the right choice and suggest layouts for the charging room, if required.

Battery changing has been given special attention in the design of our trucks to ensure simple, efficient battery changing and checking routines.

Hydrostatic braking through the transmission means the service brake is only used for parking or emergencies resulting in minimal wear and reduced maintenance. Fully enclosed transmission prevents ingress of dust, water and other contaminates making it ideal for heavy duty, demanding environments, with maintenance routines kept to a minimum for maximum uptime. The Linde hydrostatic drive system enables reverse direction to be selected at any speed (within safe operating practice) without damaging the transmission; ideal for duties requiring frequent shunting backwards and forwards. The automatic engine speed control system delivers the precise amount of torque required for a specific hydraulic function ensuring that the engine is never over revved, resulting in quieter operation, lower exhaust emissions, less fuel consumption and longer engine life.
