American-made manufacturing is the backbone of innovation, resilience, and quality. From raw materials to finished products, keeping production local means stronger supply chains, faster turnaround times, and jobs that support our communities.

Behind the scenes of so many of these operations, conveyors play a critical role in keeping everything moving—literally. They streamline production, improve efficiency, and reduce manual handling, allowing manufacturers to scale while maintaining precision and safety.

Whether it’s moving parts through assembly, transporting packaged goods, or optimizing warehouse flow, conveyors are a key component in building a smarter, more competitive American manufacturing landscape.
Investing in the right conveyor system isn’t just about productivity—it’s about strengthening the future of American industry.

When it comes to order picking, efficiency is everything—and that’s where industrial carousels truly change the game.
Instead of workers walking miles each day to locate items, carousels bring the product directly to them. This “goods-to-person” approach dramatically reduces travel time, increases picking speed, and improves accuracy across the board. Whether you’re running a busy warehouse, managing a fast-paced retail stockroom, or operating in a highly regulated pharmaceutical environment, the impact is immediate: faster fulfillment, fewer errors, and better use of labor.

No matter your industry or facility size, U.S. Materials Handling can help you find the right carousel solution tailored to your workflow, space, and operational goals.

Boost productivity. Maximize space. Simplify order picking. Call U.S. for all your vertical and horizontal carousel needs!

Keeping your facility comfortable doesn’t have to come with a high energy bill. Industrial fans are a cost-efficient way to maintain ideal working conditions year-round. During the summer months, they keep air circulating to create a cooling effect that helps workers stay comfortable and productive. In the winter, they work just as hard by pushing trapped warm air down from the ceiling, reducing heating costs and eliminating cold spots.

It’s a simple solution that improves comfort, boosts efficiency, and helps you get more out of your energy use—no matter the season.

Nope! In fact, the average cost to operate a 24 foot Powerfoil X4.0 is $0.61 per day. That's less than the price of a single banana.

Most people don’t think twice about their pallets—but they should.

The average wooden pallet holds around 2,500 lbs. That might get the job done… until it doesn’t.

When your operation demands more, it’s time to upgrade. The Dolav USA RACX-HD pallet delivers an impressive 4,400 lbs of racking strength—nearly doubling the capacity of traditional wood pallets. That means stronger support, increased safety, and greater confidence in your storage system.

Stop settling for “good enough” when your facility deserves better.

Upgrade your performance. Upgrade your pallets. Call U.S. today!

This isn’t a test load. This is Tuesday.

We would like to thank Great Lakes Cheese Company on the purchase of their new vertical dock leveler!
Keep your facility clean, secure, and energy-efficient with vertical dock levelers.
Unlike traditional pit-style levelers, vertical dock levelers store upright inside your building, helping you maintain a tighter seal at the dock door. That means better temperature control, improved sanitation, and reduced pest intrusion—especially critical for food-grade and climate-controlled environments.
They also make washdowns easier, protect your equipment from debris buildup, and help extend the life of your dock system.
If you're looking to upgrade your dock for performance and efficiency, U.S. Materials Handling can provide the right vertical dock leveler solution tailored to your operation.
Smarter docks start here. Let’s talk. Call U.S. today!

When it comes to storing long, bulky materials, traditional pallet racking just doesn’t cut it. That’s where cantilever racking stands out.

Designed specifically for items like lumber, piping, tubing, and steel bars, cantilever racking provides open-front access with no vertical obstructions—making loading and unloading faster, safer, and more efficient. Its flexible arm system allows you to customize storage for varying lengths and weights, helping you maximize space without compromising accessibility.

If your facility handles oversized materials, upgrading to cantilever racking isn’t just a convenience—it’s a smarter, more productive way to operate.

Let U.S. Materials Handling help you design a system that works as hard as you do.
