Établir une classification des matériels de manutention est bien difficile [...]. La classification adoptée ici s'inspire de celle de la Fédération Européenne de la Manutention (F.E.M.). [...] On y retrouvera la distinction entre matériels à fonctionnement continu et à fonctionnement discontinu. De même trouvera-t-on séparément les installations fixes de manutention et les matériels mobiles. On a également séparé les matériels pour produits en vrac de ceux pour charges isolées.

OBS

équipement de manutention de matières : terme normalisé par l'Office des normes générales du Canada (ONGC).
