This paper presents some problems dealing with the transportation of bulk and liquid materials. The robotization of the transport process by an elastic manipulator of an elephant trunk type is proposed. The design of an experimental stand and some results of statical and dynamical analysis are presented. In conclusion, some proposals describing the possibilities of utilising elastic manipulators for transport purposes are given.
