The major subcategories of transport equipment are:

1. Conveyors. Equipment used to move materials over a fixed path between specific points.

2. Cranes. Equipment used to move materials over variable paths within a restricted area.

3. Industrial Trucks. Equipment used to move materials over variable paths, with no restrictions on the area covered by the movement (i.e., unrestricted area).

4. No Equipment. Material can also be transported manually using no equipment.
