What does PMHV mean in TRANSPORTATION

A Powered Material Handling Vehicle (PMHV) is a type of mobile equipment used in industrial and commercial settings. It is designed to help workers move goods or materials around a warehouse, factory, or storage facility quickly and efficiently.

PMHVs are typically powered by electricity or compressed air, enabling them to move goods automatically with minimal human intervention. The vehicle can either be operated remotely through the use of sensors and controllers, or manually by an operator who controls the speed and direction from the deck.

PMHVs can be used in many different industries such as shipping and receiving, manufacturing, construction sites, and warehouses. They are also often used for transporting goods between floors in buildings with multiple levels.

Depending on its size and configuration, a PMHV might be able to move items such as boxes, pallets, drums, containers, etc. Some vehicles also include forks that allow them to lift heavier items up to certain heights safely without the need for manual lifting or additional help from workers.
