Custom Stone Slab Handling Equipment for Marble and Granite Facilities
Handling marble and granite slabs requires equipment suited to their weight, dimensions, and fragile surfaces. The right lifting and storage systems can help reduce manual handling, improve material flow, and support safer movement between receiving, fabrication, storage, and shipping areas.
MHS Crane offers material handling solutions for stone and glass operations, including:
- Jib Cranes
- Overhead Cranes
- Transfer Carts
- Vacuum Lifters
- Storage Racks
- Custom Stone Slab Cranes
MHS Crane has worked with marble, granite, and stone industry customers, including Stone Mall, Nature of Marble, International Granite & Stone, and Marble of the World. The appropriate equipment depends on the material, lifting points, surface condition, required capacity, and layout of the facility.
How to Choose the Right Marble and Granite Handling Equipment
Choosing material handling equipment starts with understanding your workflow and the materials you move. The right system should match your facility’s layout, lifting requirements, production volume, and long-term maintenance needs.
Consider the kind of work environment your team operates in and the day-to-day operations. Ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you have a large facility that can structurally support an overhead crane?
- Does your team need to maximize floor space to ensure sufficient storage capacity?
- Are your work stations close together or far apart and what other equipment systems do you currently use?
The characteristics of the material you’ll be handling, such as weight, shape, and size, influence the type of equipment you need. Consider the following:
- The capacity of your equipment: How much can your system lift or transport?
- The type of equipment: Will you need an overhead crane to move slabs across your facility, or do you just need a workstation jib?
- The speed needs of your equipment: The heavier the load, the more control you’ll need to have over movement.
Before investing in equipment, consider what your immediate needs and financial capacities are:
- Long–term investment: Do you need a machine with a long life span?
- Labor costs: Will this equipment help you reduce costs, or do you need more personnel to help during operation?
- Equipment Maintenance: Are you running operations 24/7 and need constant maintenance, or do you need a “light use” machine that operates a limited number of hours per week?
