Materials Handling in Construction
• Pre-planning is essential• What materials will be used• Which weigh over 50 pounds or are large
and awkward (>3ft wide)• Which materials can be moved
mechanically•Are the right carts/dollies readily
available and in good condition

Manual Handling
• Which have to be moved by hand•For manual handling, which require
more than one worker•Do they have handles or are there
carrying tools to make it easier

Materials Storage on Site
• Can they be ordered just-in-time to minimize storage
• Where will they be stored• How will they be stored• Can we store them off the ground, make
them easy to get• Who will make sure they are delivered to
right place

Moving Materials on Site
• How will they be transported to final use destination
• Are there clear and level pathways to do this so carts, etc can be used
• Will cranes or powered vehicles be used to move materials
• How can we make sure they are moved once and not again and again
