Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual cases or items, while reach trucks and turret trucks are utilized for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes referred to as stock pickers or order selectors. The machinery includes a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that he or she could pick things from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The machine moves forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are available.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, lift and travel speeds and reach and weight limits. Most have a fork size intended to load a typical pallet, no more than around 1.5 meters long. The higher travel and lift speed helps improve productivity, but training is necessary to avoid accidents. Employees should be trained on the specific units they will be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less costly option then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also known as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks utilize a hydraulic device to be able to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters above the ground. The operator pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Made for easy maneuvering, the electric-powered pallet trucks are cheaper. The size of the fork can hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "walkie" kind is designed to be operated while the operator walks alongside; the "rider" has a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position. These trucks are commonly found in warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
