The SAIMH is very interested in helping members and students of all ages, in conducting research and development for university, technikon or school projects in any of the fields associated with materials handling. This help can be further extended to artisans or engineers presently working or studying. Over the many years that the SAIMH has been in existence, it has accrued an extensive library of technical documentation, that can be supplemented with years of experience and knowledge within its ranks.
