Amarekhodi okuqala webhande lokuhambisa abuyele emuva ku-1795. Uhlelo lokuqala lokuhambisa lwenziwe ngemibhede yokhuni namabhande futhi iza nezithungu nama-cranks. Inguquko yezimboni namandla amumu athuthukisa ukwakheka kwangempela kohlelo lokuqala lokuhambisa. Ngo-1804, ama-navy aseBrithani aqala ukulayisha imikhumbi esebenzisa amasistimu wokuhambisa anikwe amandla.

Eminyakeni eyikhulu eyi-100, abahambi abaqhutshwa ngomshini bazoqala ukuvela ezimbonini ezahlukahlukene. Ngo-1901, inkampani yaseSweden Engineering Company yaqala ukukhiqiza ibhande lokuqala lokuhambisa insimbi yokuqala. Lapho usukwakhiwe ngesikhumba, irabha noma i-canvas straps, uhlelo lokuhambisa luqala ukusebenzisa ukuhlanganiswa okuhlukile kwezindwangu noma izinto zokwenziwa ngamabhande.

Izinhlelo zokuhambisa zentuthuko amashumi eminyaka futhi azisekho nje ibhukwana noma amandla adonsela phansi. Namuhla, amasistimu wokuhambisa imishini asetshenziswa kabanzi embonini yokudla ukuze athuthukise ikhwalithi yokudla, ukusebenza kahle, ukukhiqiza nokuphepha. Ama-meelical ntoovers kungenzeka avundlile, mpo, noma athambekele. Ziqukethe inqubo yamandla elawula ijubane lemishini, isilawuli sezimoto, isakhiwo esekela okuhambisayo, kanye nezindlela zokuphatha izinto ezinjengamabhande, amashubhu, ama-pallets noma ama-screws.

Umkhakha we-conveyor unikeza ukwakheka, ubunjiniyela, uhlelo lokusebenza namazinga okuphepha futhi uchaze izinhlobo ezingaphezu kuka-80 zokuhambisa. Namuhla, kukhona abathuntu abathuthayo, abathunisi be-chain, ama-pallet athuntu, abahambisi bensimbi engagqwali, amasistimu wokuhambisa, njll.

Embonini yokudla, abahambisi abasetshenziswa kakhulu emafektri okudla namuhla kufaka phakathi amabhande okuhambisa, abahambisi abavubwe, abathungi be-screw, okuhambisa i-tubular and tubular Izinhlelo zanamuhla zokuhambisa nazo zingenziwa ngokwezifiso futhi zenzelwe ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zamakhasimende. Ukucatshangelwa kwedizayina kuhilela uhlobo lwezinto ezibonakalayo ezidinga ukuhanjiswa kanye nebanga, ukuphakama, kanye nesivinini sokuthi lokho okuqukethwe kudinga ukuhamba. Ezinye izinto ezithinta ukwakheka kohlelo lokuhambisa ifaka isikhala samahhala nokucushwa kwamahhala.
