Material Handling Equipment Selection in ship building

Introduction This report provides an overview of different material handling equipment. It is intended to familiarize with the various material handling technologies and provide some general guidelines for selecting a particular technology for a particular application. General Considerations When deciding what material handling equipment to use, it is important to take into account the general characteristics of the equipment types available in the market. Then, the decision maker should determine which equipment matches better to the required application.

Static Storage Systems Static storage systems include storage racks, block stacking systems, mezzanines and shelf and drawer Storage. The common feature of static storage systems is that loads remain stationary or static in their storage locations until removed from the system. Shelving and Drawer Storage

The major factors driving the design of a shelving and drawer storage system include the types of Products stored, the type of storage equipment used, the material handling system involved, the Characteristics of the facility and the applicable government regulations and building codes. The design process involves analysis of the dimensions and weight of stored items and the determination of how each item is to be stocked, e.g., individual items, packages, cartons, pallets, rolls, drums, etc. Inventory levels, the form of material issues, transactions throughput, and the number of stock keeping units must then be determined. This is followed by creation of a drawing of the front elevation of the storage units and notation of the specific items to be stored in each. Typically, this involves the development of several alternative storage layouts. Consideration of seismic requirements and government regulations may also influence the design of a shelf and drawer storage unit. These considerations may impose the need for such features as side and rack sway braces, heavier gauge steel members, handrails, floor anchor clips, etc. Some general guidelines for selection of shelving and drawer storage are presented in the second table of this section.

In-Plant Industrial Trucks In this section, in-plant industrial trucks and dock equipment are discussed. This category includes electric rider trucks, electric narrow aisle trucks, electric hand pallet trucks, cushion tire internal combustion trucks, and pneumatic tire internal combustion trucks. These trucks are used for moving either mixed or uniform loads intermittently over various paths. While these paths can be somewhat random at the discretion of the driver, the paths are restricted to suitable indoor or outdoor surfaces. Industrial trucks provide not only a means of transporting materials, but also provide a means of accurate lifting and stacking. Appropriate tooling for the truck permits users to lift not only pallets, but a wide array of specialized loads. For example, rolls of carpet are easily moved via industrial truck by replacing standard forks with a single tube. The dock equipment discussed in this section includes dock levelers and truck restraining devices. Both of these equipment types support the use of industrial trucks for loading/unloading. Powered Trucks Industrial electric motor trucks can be found in almost any manufacturing plant, loading dock, or warehouse. Although they are made by a variety of manufacturers for diverse purposes, including some highly

specialized applications, they can be classified into five general groups using Industrial Truck Association guidelines: electric rider trucks, electric narrow aisle trucks, electric hand pallet trucks, cushion tire internal combustion trucks, and pneumatic tire internal combustion trucks. Electric rider trucks are general purpose trucks and are used primarily indoors. These trucks can lift up to 6 tons and up to 18 feet in height. Electric narrow aisle trucks are used in narrow aisle applications. These trucks are used primarily for storage/retrieval in applications similar to AS/RS functions. They can easily lift loads from 2,000 to 4,500 pounds to heights of 40 feet. Narrow aisle trucks can be further subdivided into standard trucks, high lift straddle trucks, side loaders, swing mast trucks, and convertible turret/stock pickers. The names of these devices are indicative of their function. Electric hand pallet trucks are generally used for indoor applications and can handle loads up to 4 tons. These trucks are perfect for situations in which material is to be moved from one location to another without the need for lifting more than a few inches. For example, this type of truck is commonly used in grocery stores to move pallet loads of cans or boxes to a display location within the store. An added convenience is that the operator can move among customers in the store safely and without obstructed views. Internal combustion trucks add the advantage of outdoor use. They can lift 2,000 to 15,000 pounds with some specialty trucks lifting up to 50 tons. They can lift up to 20 feet in height and can operate on gasoline, LP-gas, or diesel fuel. Non-Powered Trucks In this section, non-powered hand trucks and non-powered pallet trucks are discussed. These trucks provide low cost material handling alternatives for some applications. They are best suited for moving lightweight loads over relatively short distances. Non-powered hand trucks are used in many situations. They are inexpensively manufactured for diverse and specific applications. Common construction materials include aluminum/magnesium, steel, and wood. Because these trucks are so inexpensive, it makes sense to design them for specific material handling functions. In this way, it is possible to increase the cube utilization within the truck for material handling optimization. Aluminum or magnesium trucks generally carry 300-500 pounds of material, while steel or wooden trucks can be used to carry approximately 1000 pounds to 2000 pounds, respectively. The trucks range in weight from as little as 20 pounds for aluminum trucks to as much as 125 pounds for wooden trucks. Non-powered hand pallet trucks These trucks are designed to carry unit loads on pallets from one location to another, generally in indoor settings. Because unit loads can be quite heavy, the distances transported using this type of equipment is generally short. In many settings, hand pallet trucks are used to supplement motorized truck fleets. They are extremely efficient for transporting unit loads short distances when high lifting is not required. They can be used to position materials very precisely. Generally speaking, non-powered hand trucks cannot be used to lift more than 8,000-10,000 pounds and cannot lift a unit load to a height more than 8 inches. For heavy duty applications, steel wheels are required while lighter duty applications require only nylon or polyurethane construction. These trucks can range in weight from 200 to 400 pounds. Dock Equipment In this section, dock leveling equipment and truck restraining devices are discussed. Both are necessary components to ensure safe and efficient use of industrial trucks. Dock Levelers In this section, devices that equalize the height of the rear of a trailer to the docks height are discussed.

Powered applications make use of electric or LP-gas motors and can have a load capacity from 2,000 to 30,000 pounds. Non-powered dock levelers can be used when the difference between dock and trailer height is less severe. If the difference between the dock and the trailer is less than approximately four inches, nonpowered dock levelers can be used with a wide variety of industrial truck types, including hand pallet jacks. Even so, the length of the leveler would likely need to be approximately 12 feet in length to produce an acceptable grade for hand trucks. Using gas or electric lift trucks, a leveler of less than 3 feet would be acceptable. Electric pallet jacks are feasible for height differentials up to 10 inches, electric lift trucks are feasible for height differentials up to 12 inches, and gas lift trucks are feasible for differentials up to 18 inches, provided that the leveler is of sufficient length, say 12 feet. Height differentials are not the only factors to be considered when selecting a leveler. Other less obvious considerations include truck tailgate differences, the degree of loading/unloading activity, the speed of operation required, and various personnel factors. Also of interest are environmental factors such as heat & cold retention and the corrosiveness of the applications. Certainly, designers should also decide about the level of desirable investment given the status of the building in terms of leasing versus owning the property.Dock levelers are further subdivided into four types in order of decreasing loading rating: released, vertical, edge-of-dock, and front-of-dock. Released levelers can handle up to 40 tons while front-of-dock levelers generally handle 15,000-20,000 pounds. Frontof-dock levelers are generally hard to remove and are therefore not recommended for buildings with a short duration lease. Truck Restraining Devices Truck restraining devices include wheel chocks, trailer constraints, and automatic chock devices. Their function is to prevent the trailer from moving during loading or unloading, or to prevent the truck from leaving the dock until authorized to do so from a safety viewpoint. Wheel chocks are very inexpensive and very effective and they are OSHA approved safety devices. They are used in applications from warehousing to airports. In fact, wheel chocking is one of the first activities performed when an airplane arrives at a terminal building. Even for huge aircraft, chocking is a cost effective way to achieve passenger safety. Chocks are generally made of laminated or molded rubber or wood and are wedged under tires. Although cost effective, chocks can have some disadvantages. For example, they are easily forgotten or lost, they require labor for correct placement, they reduce productivity of dock attendants by adding an extra step to vehicle arrivals and departures, and they can be ineffective in bad weather or on some surfaces. Trailer restraints are permanent fixtures holding the trailer at the dock using the ICC (Interstate Commerce Commission) bar. Designs range from manual and low cost to automatic and high cost. Automatic chock devices perform the same function as trailer restraints, but do not rely on the trailers ICC bar to secure the trailer to the dock. These devices are stored in the driveway and raise to hold the wheels in place. Both are extremely effective in terms of ensuring that the vehicle remains in place until unsecured. Factors to consider when selecting any restraining device include the following. They should have clearly visible hooking devices. They should provide constant engagement. They should support clear communications and should be durable. Components should be designed for their environment in terms of rust and corrosion and should be sealed against dirt. Furthermore, they should be easy to maintain and should

allow for integration opportunities with other systems such as alarm systems or Production/shipment supervisory programs. Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGV) Automatic guided vehicle is a vehicle equipped with automatic guidance equipment that is capable of following prescribed guidepaths, either physical or residing in software, to transport material between various points in a system. Some advantages of these systems include: 1. Most AGVs load and unload automatically. 2. They can transport materials of many different sizes and shapes. 3. They efficiently interface with other equipment, thereby, providing physical integration. 4. They are well suited to operate under computer control, allowing the control system to know the location of all materials at all times. There are several different ways to classify vehicles. The following two tables show a summary of the different types of vehicles and the different options for the main vehicle characteristics.

Monorails Monorails are self-powered vehicles riding on an overhead track. These systems provide flexible transport of material without using valuable floor space. They are being used increasingly in the automation of fabrication, finishing, and assembly operations; but usually these systems are used in batch operations. Some advantages associated with this type of equipment are 1. They are capable of higher speeds than other transportation options (up to 500 fpm on straight runs).Therefore, they can be used to make deliveries on demand. 2. High speed and low cost tracks compared to overhead conveyors. 3. Queuing capability. 4. Could have bi-directional carriers. 5. Easy interfacing with other equipment. 6. They provide quiet running and clean carriers that are individually powered and controlled. 7. They also provide greater flexibility for expansion and layout changes. Pneumatic Tube Systems They provide a versatile approach to moving bulk solids. If necessary, they can cover great distances,both vertically and horizontally. Dynamic Storage Systems High-Density Dynamic Storage Systems These systems provide high-density storage for a variety of product types. They are often referred to as flow delivery systems or flow racks because of the way products are stored and retrieved from the systems. These systems can be broadly classified into three different types. 1. High-rise, served by a guide truck Stacking heights to 40 feet. Narrow aisle, high-lift, or turret truck can be used under rail or wire guidance. Somewhat tighter tolerances that on conventional selective pallet racks. 2. Storage/retrieval (S/R) machine High degree of inventory control in large-volume, high-throughput applications. Operations frequently automated under computer control. Exacting tolerances on racks and floors. Storage heights can reach 75 feet or more. 3. High density Loads confined to specific lanes under automated control. Traveling carrier or retrieval mechanism removes loads on first-in, first-out basis. High-rise configurations can be used. Horizontal and Vertical Carousels Horizontal and vertical carousels are usually incorporated into automated material handling operations These systems have movable racks or shelves that hold parts. The entire set of racks/shelves is rotated to bring the needed item to a pick position for retrieval (or a empty slot to the pick position for storage). Picking and placing is done manually or automatically. The manual weight limit is 35 to 40 lb.Typically, automatic

extraction weight limit ranges from light loads to about 100 lb. The storage systems can be used for many applications, including maintenance parts, tooling, dies, WIP, buffer storage, warehousing, and distribution. The advantages associated in the use of carousels are : 1. They are low cost, stand-alone, and modular storage systems. 2. Both versions are available in a wide assortment of heights, lengths, and capacities. 3. Automated or manual extraction methods are available for adding or removing stored products. Automated Storage and Retrieval System (AS/RS) AS/RS are commonly applied in two types of operations : warehousing or distribution and plant automation. These systems are typically high-rise systems capable of storing pallets, totes, drums, or other similar types of unit loads. The systems may be single aisle or large, multi-aisle systems. The storage/retrieval machine is automated and capable of moving at high speeds within the captive aisle. Occasionally, multiple aisles will be equipped with a transfer mechanism so that one S/R machine can serve multiple aisles. These systems provide good inventory control as well as protection from damage and pilferege. These systems are typically used in conjunction with other automated material handling devices, such as automated guided vehicles. Some of the system advantages typically cited for AS/R systems are: 1. The equipment enables reduced inventory levels through tightened control measures. 2. Space requirements are reduced with high-rise, high-density storage techniques . 3. Their ability to operate almost unattended . If the load or products can be identified automatically by their size or shape or by a code that can be read automatically, then the storage system can operate unattended. 4. Capability to interface automatically with a number of different types of conveyors and other transportation equipment .

Lifting, Leveling, and Work Positioning Systems In this section, lifting, leveling and work positioning systems are discussed. This category of equipment includes stationary systems, overhead mobile cranes, gantry cranes, stacker cranes, hoists, and balancers.The focus of this section will be primarily on cranes and hoists because they are the most widely used equipment for lifting, leveling, and work positioning. Stationary systems include fixed devices such as the jib crane which is a fixed crane with a cantilevered bridge supported from a stationary vertical support. Overhead mobile cranes are traveling cranes with a movable bridge running on the top surface of rails of an overhead fixed runway structure. They carry a movable or fixed hoisting mechanism.Gantry cranes are traveling cranes similar to the overhead mobile crane, except that the bridge carrying the hoisting mechanism is rigidly supported on two or more legs running on fixed rails or other runways. A stacker crane is a crane adapted to piling or stacking bulk materials. It could include a fixed or pivotally mounted boom. A hoist can be defined broadly as any mechanism for lifting or lowering loads. Cranes In this section, five different types of cranes are discussed: single girder bridge cranes, double girder bridge cranes, single girder gantry cranes, jib cranes, and overhead stacker cranes. The discussion includes characteristics of these crane types in terms of maximum span, maximum lifting capacity, maximum height, maximum bridge, trolley and hoist speeds, and the type of use for which they are suitable.Single girder bridge

cranes generally have a maximum span between 20 and 50 feet with a maximum lift of 15-50 feet. They can handle 1-15 tons with bridge speeds approaching a maximum of 200 feet per minute (fpm), trolley speeds of approximately 100 fpm, and hoist speeds ranging from 10-60 fpm. They are candidates for light to moderate service and are cost effective for use as a standby (infrequently used) crane. Double girder bridge cranes increase the permissible span by a factor of two to 100 feet. The lift height is approximately the same as for the single girder bridge crane. Double girder cranes are faster, with maximum bridge speeds, trolley speeds and hoist speeds approaching 350 fpm, 150 fpm, and 60 fpm, respectively. They are the fastest of the five crane types considered herein. They are useful cranes for a variety of usage levels ranging from infrequent, intermittent use to continuous severe service. They can lift up to 100 tons. Gantry (single girder) cranes represent a usage compromise between single girder and double girder bridge cranes with uses that range from light service to heavy service. Their maximum span range is from 3080 feet. The maximum lift height is approximately 40 feet with up to 100 tons in lifting capacity. Bridge, trolley, and hoist speeds are as much as 250 fpm, 150 fpm, and 60 fpm, respectively. Jib cranes are not strong candidates for heavy or severe use. They are best suited for light to moderate service. Their maximum span is only 20 feet or so with a lifting height of about 25 feet and a capacity reaching to 10 tons. The jib crane is not bridge mounted, but trolley and hoist speeds approach 90 fpm and 30 fpm, respectively. Finally, the overhead stacker crane is a candidate for light through heavy service, like the gantry crane.This type of crane offers bridge speeds of 150-300 feet, trolley speeds of 75-150 feet, and hoist speeds of 15-30 feet. The maximum load capacity is 5-30 tons for most commercially available systems and the maximum lift height is generally 20-40 feet. The maximum span is comparable to that of the double girder bridge crane, reaching 30-100 feet. In terms of cost, jib and single girder bridge cranes are most economical but are not suitable for heavy or severe operations. Double girder bridge and single girder gantry cranes are in the mid-price range with increased usage capability (the double girder bridge crane offers the greatest usage flexibility). Finally,the overhead stacker crane is generally the most expensive of the five options discussed herein. Electric Hoists Industrial hoists are widely used for lifting. They are generally inexpensive and reliable. They increase the safety associated with lifting and enable the movement of much larger unit loads than would be possible with many other economical lifting options. An electric hoist can be defined as a suspended machinery unit using wire rope or chain for vertical lifting or lowering of freely suspended unguided loads. Because the primary reason cited for hoist failure is the failure to consider the duty environment of the hoist, it is useful to consider duty factors in the hoist selection process. Let us consider five duty cycle classes that include infrequent or standby use, light use, standard use, heavy use, and severe use. Infrequent or standby use can be defined as a system that is busy 12-25% of the time with 75-100 starts per hour. Light use can be defined similarly but with different usage types.For example, power houses and utilities with infrequent handling could be considered infrequent, while light machine shops and fabricating industries could be considered light usage. Standard usage could be defined as a hoist that is busy 25-50% of the time with 150-200 starts per hour. General machine shops,fabrication shops, assembly, storage and warehousing all could make use of standard hoists. Heavy usage hoists are likely busy approximately 50% of the time with up to 300 starts per hour. High volume handling in steel warehousing is an example as are some machine shops, fabricating plants, mills and foundries. Finally, a hoist

can be considered severe in its use if it is used close to 100% of the time with up to 600 starts per hour. This type of hoist could be useful in bulk handling of material in combination with buckets, magnets, or other heavy attachments. Unitizing Systems Unitizing systems refer to systems for the creation of the unit handling load. Usually, unitizing systems must be carefully considered in the shipping, receiving, in-process handling, and storage activities associated with manufacturing and/or distributions systems. The type of unitizing system that is appropriate for a given application depends on the form of the unit load, e.g., pallets, containers, etc., as well as the physical characteristics of the material being handled. Palletizers are systems for consolidating unit loads onto pallets. These systems are often used in conjunction with systems for stabilizing palletized unit loads such as stretch wrappers, strappers or shrink wrapping systems. In this section, issues directly related to unitizing systems are discussed with results presented from recent literature which provide guidelines for the application of various elements of unitizing systems including pallets, industrial metal and plastic containers, palletizers and load stabilizing systems. Pallets Pallets are probably the most common platform for moving unit loads. Perhaps the most obvious area of concern associated with the use of pallets today involves cost and quality tradeoffs. Poor quality pallets annually cost industry billions of dollars in the form of product damage, lost productivity, and damaged handling. A key decision affecting the overall life cycle cost of pallets is the materials used in their manufacture which can include wood, pressed wood fiber, corrugated fiberboard, plastic or metal. More wooden pallets are sold each year than any other type due to the versatility, low cost, biodegradability and recyclability of this material. Pressed wood fiber is a combination of wood fibers and organic resins which eliminates the need for nails and enables the molding of pallets into more space efficient designs. Disposable, corrugated fiberboard pallets can be made of recycled paper materials and provide a light weight, low cost alternative for one way shipping when loads do not need to be stored outdoors. Durable plastic and metal pallets may provide the low cost alternative over the full pallet life cycle despite their high initial cost. Both of these materials are recyclable, can be sanitized for clean applications, and can be used in the most demanding applications. The table in this section summarizes some of the tradeoffs associated with different materials used for the manufacture of pallets and the typical applications associated with each.

Tribon M3 is a design and information system created to fit the specific needs of shipbuilding and offshore industries. Tribon M3 supports the shipbuilding process, where the goal is to efficiently produce and handle all the information needed from concept to delivery. Instant access to accurate supplier information When using Tribon.com, shipyards have access to accurate and complete supplier product information, which helps them shorten the time spent on searching for, downloading and integrating component information during the design process. Design for production Each Tribon M3 application handles the design from the initial stage through to the exact details needed for production. Information registered at an earlier stage of design can be refined as the project progresses. Where possible, Tribon M3 will check that the design meets design rules and is practical. This helps prevent the kind of mistakes which might otherwise not be discovered until production is underway, saving both valuable time and money. Easy access to design information means that several designers can work in parallel and co-ordinate their tasks. Production benefits Tribon M3 gives you many benefits in your production. Minimization of rework is built on close attention to accuracy in all stages of design and production so that things can be done right the first time. Tribon M3 has practical realistic features to promote an accurate way of working. Built into Tribon M3 is an extensive knowledge of the shipbuilding process, including a high standard of production information for all types of parts. This information includes things such as allowance for shrinkage in manufacturing so that all parts fit

first time. No additional rework saves above all time and money, but also eliminates frustration and unpleasant internal conflicts. Just-in-Time Tribon PIM technology makes product data available to all parties involved so that they can pull out the information they need, when they need it. All data relevant to parts manufacturing and assembly is found in the Tribon PIM and can be extracted in the format each individual user requires. Each assembly or installation activity can have its own document containing precisely the information needed to perform that particular activity. The result is that draftsmen or workshop planners can prepare and print work instructions just in time.

Create once, refine, use many times One of the basic features of the Tribon technology is to create information once and use it many times. Designers create a basic Tribon PIM (Tribon Product Information Model) which is enhanced with details by the engineers. All documentation for materials acquisition and planning is derived from the Tribon PIM. Drawings, reports etc. for manufacturing of plate parts, pipe spools, ventilation ducts, cables, pipe and cable hangers etc. are also taken automatically from the Tribon PIM. In addition, drawings for assembly and welding data to feed assembly welding robots are all extracted from the Tribon PIM. Re-use of design Tribon M3 contains new tools for copying parts of existing ship models to a new model we call it the Tribon Project Copy functionality. This makes it possible to re-use existing design data. These tools automatically rename objects and object references. They also disconnect associative references from the mother ship and re-establish them correctly in the receiving project. These new functions will dramatically improve the possibilities to save design time through an efficient re-use of existing design data. They can also be used to study different alternative ship designs.

Preparing a tender correctly is of vital importance if a contract is to be won by offering the most competitive price. A key element of a successful tender is a well defined initial design and build strategy for the project. In this process Tribon M3 supports you every step of the way. Less time waiting and searching Tribon M3 provides a wide range of tools in all disciplines to make the Contract Design in a structured way that allows full details to be extracted for pricing and planning.
