Abstract: Material handling plays a vital role in every manufacturing and construction organization. It has
been estimated that more than 15 to 20% of the product cost is associated with material handling activities.
Unlike many other operations, material handling adds to the cost of the product and not to its value. It is
therefore important first to eliminate or at least minimize the need for material handling and second to minimize
the cost of handling.Presently the concrete pipes are handled manually by use of crow bar and human worker
which is time consuming, damages the pipes while transportation, unsafe work practice hence there is a need of
concrete pipe suspender for fast and safe handling of concrete pipes. It is important to keep the pipes properly
by lifting the concrete pipes................
