Hand-Bombing, handbombing, handbalming whichever way you write it, is the method of hand unloading or loading boxes from a containers. Warehouses have many positions but the most physical of these tasks has to be the hand-bombers (aka.lumpers), lifting and moving all day and take its toll.

In warehousing, hand bombing refers to the manual process of stacking and loading goods or products into a warehouse by hand. This process is typically done by a team of workers who use hand trucks, pallet jacks, or other manual equipment to move boxes, crates, or pallets of goods into the warehouse and stack them on shelves or in designated storage areas.

Hand bombing is often used in smaller warehouses or distribution centers where the volume of goods being received and stored is not high enough to justify the use of heavy machinery or automated systems. It can also be used for goods that are too delicate or fragile to be handled by machinery.

The process of hand bombing can be labor-intensive and time-consuming, but it allows for greater flexibility and control in the placement and organization of goods within the warehouse. It also allows for a greater degree of care to be taken with fragile or valuable items, reducing the risk of damage during storage.

It is important to note that hand bombing in warehouse is not related to graffiti, and it is a legal practice that is used to store goods.
