Material Handling
80/20 T-slot aluminum profiles and parts create efficiencies through ergonomic material handling solutions that fit your processes and people, rather than forcing you to conform to static, pre-built options. An 80/20 custom application allows you to adapt and respond immediately to your changing needs.
80/20 Configured Modular Solutions™ Improve Productivity
The complexity of managing the movement, storage, protection and control of materials and products throughout the manufacturing, distribution, consumption, and disposal lifecycle requires evolving resources.
Increasingly, material-handling activities are taking on a strategic role and aid in the reduction of inventory and the improvement of cycle times. These strategic goals must be balanced with ergonomic and safety initiatives in order to increase efficiencies and reduce the risk of injury.

Meet Your Needs With the Ergonomic Benefits of 80/20
With 80/20 T-slot profiles you can create customized carts, workstations, conveyors, and more, that are designed around your parameters. 80/20’s system provides a wide product offering to accommodate all of your material handling needs. Options are available in both fractional and metric measurements, ensuring easy integration with existing equipment.
Add Motion
Streamline material movement by integrating gravity rollers into your flow racks and workstation processes. Compatible with both T-slot profiles and pipe and joint framing.
Integrate Components
T-slot profiles are lightweight yet strong and you can mount components directly to your application. Add a computer monitor to your workstation or run cables and wires through the profile channel in a tool cart.
Lift Systems
Achieve optimal ergonomics at any height with lift systems. Easily attachable to T-slot profiles, these systems allow you to adjust your workstation's height precisely, either manually with a crank or via electric power.
Material handling applications tailored to your workforce can help increase productivity by up to 25% through improved attendance and reductions in damage to product and equipment.
Pipe & Joint Solutions
Flexpipe, an 80/20 Brand, offers a lightweight and versatile pipe and joint framing system that's easy to use. You can assemble it with just simple hand tools, making quick modifications and expansions a breeze as your needs change.
The system uses steel pipes coated with colorful polyethylene, which are then connected with various joint sets. Flexpipe structures are perfect for material handling and can even be integrated with 80/20 T-slot structures for even more flexibility.
Avoid Ergonomic Hazards
To protect workers, reduce injuries and lower costs, companies can aim to eliminate ergonomic hazards. Businesses also experience improved performance quality through these initiatives. History has revealed reduction in damage to product and equipment, improved attendance, reduced workers’ compensation costs averaging 80-90%, lower experience modification rates used to calculate insurance premiums, and lower workforce turnovers by implementing applications and processes to fit people and tasks.
