Material handling equipment (MHE) is an essential component of any industry that requires materials to be stored or transported between places. Selecting the best MHE is a crucial aspect of every industry due to the large amount of capital involved in the process. This process mainly concentrated on selecting the best MHE while considering the multiple criteria that are often in conflict. This paper aims to propose the hybridization of Criteria Importance through Inter- Criteria Correlation (CRITIC) method and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method known as CRITIC-TOPSIS method to solve the MHE selection problem. The TOPSIS method has a limitation since it does not account for the weights of the criteria (Tornyeviadzi et al., 2021). Thus, to overcome the shortcoming of this method, the CRITIC method is used to compute the weight of the criteria of MHE selection. Meanwhile, the TOPSIS method is used to find the best optimal solution for a problem while focusing on some notable uniqueness of it (Panda & Jagadev, 2018).
