Material Handling is a substantial part of the contracting division within the company, split over several core applications:
Chepstow Plant International’s material handling fleet is predominantly comprised of wheel loaders, with each asset receiving bespoke build specifications for the required project. This might be as simple as deploying a specialised bucket for the application or supplying bespoke length boom options to maximum bucket capacity/reach for the hopper on site. With every material handling contract, the project is explored, identified and analysed to achieve operating optimisation for every customer.
Material handling is an essential part of the aggregates and mineral sector. Principally, it involves the movement of materials from one location to another, and the storage of those materials. Once the aggregate or mineral is extracted or produced, it is transported to a stock or holding yard ready for the next step in the process.
The overall material handling process is essential for efficient manufacturing, construction projects or for use in other industries as it helps to ensure that materials are safely transported away from the quarry and mines to a variety of locations. This could include asphalt or concrete plants, processing or milling sites or some finished products going direct to construction sites.
The first step in material handling is transporting the materials from the quarry or mine supplier to the next step in the process. This is done using a variety of methods, including trucks, trains, and ships. Depending on the size of the project and the type of material being transported, the delivery of materials can take a few days to several weeks.
Finally, when the materials have been used in the Quarrying or Construction project, they must be disposed of properly. This includes recycling or repurposing the materials or disposing of them in a safe and environmentally friendly manner.
Material handling is an important part of any construction project. It helps to ensure that the materials are moved and stored efficiently, and that they are disposed of properly. By following the proper material handling procedures, construction and transportation projects can be completed more quickly and efficiently.
