Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handling Bales of Cotton in Public Warehouses: Methods and Equipment The biggest operating expense in warehous ing cotton is that for physical handling of the bales. Bales are handled many times in mov ing them into, within, and out of the warehouse. When they arrive at the warehouse, they are unloaded, weighed, sampled, transported to the storage area, and stored; on receipt of shipping orders, they are broken out of storage, trans ported to a loading area, and loaded into cars and trucks. Other handling, such as that re quired when bales are compressed, may also be involved. In warehouses, some of these jobs are done mainly by hand, others by powered handling equipment, and still others by a com bination of machine and manual methods. Warehousemen can do this handling at lowest cost only by using the most efficient equipment and methods for each type of operation.
