Chapter 6 Material Handling Equipment (MHE) Requirements

Material handling equipment is equipment that relates to movement, storage, control and protection of materials, goods and products throughout the process of manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal. Material handling equipment is generally separated into four main categories;

storage and handling equipment, engineered systems, industrial trucks, and bulk material handling. This instruction covers the only the industrial trucks portions of weight handling equipment. Industrial trucks usually refer to operator driven motorized warehouse vehicles, powered manually, by gasoline, propane or electricity. Forklift trucks are the most common example of industrial trucks but certainly are not the extent of the category. If the equipment being used is self-propelled and the operator rides upon the vehicle it falls into the class of forklifts requiring an OF-346 (i.e. rider lift trucks). Tow tractors are an additional example of weight handling industrial trucks which are covered and licensed per reference (e).

1. Material Handling Equipment Physical. All material handling equipment requires completion of a material handling equipment physical, code 710 every three years. The medical certification card verifying completion of this physical is required prior to licensing and must be kept with the driver while operating the equipment. Operators of material handling equipment shall also hold a valid state operator's license and U.S. Government Motor Vehicle Operator's Identification Card, OF-346 with the type and load capacities of the forklift they are trained and certified to operate listed on the back.

2. Material Handling Equipment Training/Testing. Training and testing must be accomplished prior to issuance or due to suspension or revocation of U.S. Government Motor Vehicle Operator's Identification Card, OF-346 for all Material Handling Equipment.
