Why Mechanical and Electrical Training Matter

Distribution centers rely on complex electrical and mechanical systems that must work together seamlessly. MST’s training equips your team with the knowledge to handle these core areas:

Electrical Systems & Troubleshooting

  • Power distribution & circuits – breakers, panels, and motor starters.
  • Controls & PLCs – troubleshooting scanners, sorters, and conveyor systems.
  • Variable frequency drives (VFDs) – used extensively in automated sortation.
  • Sensors & low-voltage controls – including photo-eyes, encoders, and limit switches.

Mechanical Systems

  • Conveyors & sortation – belt alignment, chain drives, rollers, and diverters.
  • Bearings, gears, and couplings – preventive replacement and troubleshooting.
  • Hydraulics & pneumatics – lift tables, actuators, and dock equipment.
  • Welding & fabrication basics – quick, effective repairs to guards and brackets.

What’s Included in Distribution Training

MST’s conveyor maintenance training blends both electrical and mechanical concepts to prepare your team for real-world challenges. All training is conducted onsite using MST's real-world simulators and equipment. Instead of focusing on a single component, our programs emphasize:

Mechanical systems like belt drives, bearings, and couplings.
Hands-on troubleshooting and repair techniques.
Electrical systems that power and control conveyor equipment.
Preventive practices that extend system life and reduce downtime.
