Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual cases or items, while turret trucks and reach trucks are utilized for handling palletized loads. Sometimes, order pickers are also called order selectors or stock pickers. The machine includes a platform wherein the individual who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that he or she can pick things from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The machinery moves forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are offered.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain lift and travel speeds, fork size, reach limitations and weight limit. The majority have a fork size intended to load a typical pallet, no more than about one and a half meters in length. The higher lift and travel speed helps increase production, but training is truly essential in order to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the particular type of unit they would be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less expensive option then you could use non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also known as hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These types of trucks use a hydraulic device to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters off the floor. The individual operating it pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are relatively inexpensive and built for easy maneuvering. The fork size can hold two to three pallets. These trucks come in two kinds: the "rider" includes a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is meant to be operated whilst the operator walks alongside. These trucks are usually found within warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
