System Design & Engineering Services

Every facility faces different challenges in terms of possible layout and available square footage, and no two companies have identical production lines, equipment, or operations. As a result, each material handling system must serve different needs and goals. Careful design is critical to a well-integrated system in order to deliver maximum results for managing materials and supplies efficiently and effectively.

Maximum Material Handling specializes in developing and delivering diverse material handling solutions that can improve workflow, reduce bottlenecks and provide the required protection for your product and personnel. Our design and engineering services include careful analysis of your available space and process methods, in order to develop a system tailored to fit your facility and meet your budget. Reach out to us and learn more about our capacity for system design, our capabilities in engineered results, and all the other benefits of working with Maximum Material Handling.

What is System Design?

In the context of material handling; system design is the practice of taking into account all the factors that influence the flow of material through a facility and devising the most efficient, safe, and cost effective plan in which to do so. This includes such things as the best way to secure that material for movement while pairing it with the proper piece of equipment in order to transport it over, under, around, or through any and all obstacles the facility may present. At the same time, the space available, future expansion, flexibility, and budget must also be accounted for.

Material handling systems vary greatly based on the products being handled, the individual circumstances of the facility and the process required. Depending on the situation multiple components may be necessary in order to build an operational system. These components may include hoists, cranes, below-the-hook devices, conveyors and or manipulators. Because of this, it’s best to partner with a company like Maximum Material Handling. We can guide, advise and supply you with the equipment and know-how you need to meet your goals.

The Benefits of Our Comprehensive System Design Process

Working with Maximum Material Handling’s design and engineering team ensures that your material handling system fits your facility’s physical and operational requirements and that is beneficial for several reasons:

Increased productivity, output and safety. A well-planned system can streamline operations, shorten cycle times, and reduce manual labor. This translates into increased productivity and a better ability to meet demand safely.
Optimized layout for the available space. Most facilities have space restrictions, equipment that cannot be moved, and other physical characteristics to work around. Careful system design makes it possible to add material handling equipment like hoists, cranes, conveyors, manipulators, and below-the-hook devices within the constraints of the available space, without losing functionality.
Reduced risk of damage. Well-designed material handling systems are configured for efficiency as well as reduced risk of damage to material and product. This may include the need for automated processes and precise positioning equipment such as manipulators and balancers.
Minimal waste and handling expenses. Highly efficient systems operate with less manual labor, reduced power requirements, and higher safety records. This in turn can reduce production costs and eliminate wasted time and material, providing you with a system that benefits your bottom line and meets future goals.
