Lucastone Material Handling
If you are a shop that works with Lucastone material you may already know much of the information in this article. And if you are setting up a new shop and plan on working with Lucastone this is information that you will most certainly need to know since it relates to
engineered quartz equipment. In this article we will talk about some of the material handling equipment that is needed to work with Lucastone and how it makes your daily work easier.
Material Handling: What is Involved?
The first logical place to begin when discussing Lucastone material handling is with the definition. So how is material handling defined? Well, we will get into a fuller definition later, but we will only elaborate on three basic aspects of it as it regards Lucastone. First, storing Lucastone is part of material handling. Second, unloading it from trucks and loading it onto them is considered material handling. Third, placing them onto and removing them from machines is considered material handling.
Equipment for Storing Lucastone
As we have already mentioned, there are facets to material handling and one of those facets is storage. This is because there are cases where a Lucastone slab needs to be stored for a period of time before it is used. When this is the case, a
buffalo Lucastone slab rack is sometimes used to server that purpose. Having the material on hand and then being able to use it when needed is very practical.
Lucastone Transport Equipment
If workers in the fabrication shop were given an option of how to transport Lucastone slabs, many would likely choose to use a piece of equipment like a
two side a frame Lucastone cart because it makes the work load lighter in a sense. Being able to use a cart to transport slabs of Lucastone across the warehouse or shop is practical. And having an a frame rack in a work van can provide a measure of stability during transport.
Equipment for Loading Lucastone
Fabricators are always lifting slabs onto and off of machines, tables, saws, etc. And the slabs they are loading and unloading from these various locations are not light. That's why there are lifting machines of various kinds for loading Lucastone slabs and unloading them. One of the machines used for this is a
Lucastone vacuum lifter with hand pump and air connector. There are others too. The idea though is that this machine is able to hold the slab so that it can be lifted.
As we have seen in this article, handling Lucastone products is much easier when you are well equipped to do it effectively. By making use of material handling equipment that we have mentioned in this discussion, you will be equipped for the tasks you will encounter along the way.
