Order pickers
Order pickers are designed to handle individual items or cases, whereas reach trucks and turret trucks are for handling palletized loads. Sometimes, order pickers are also known as stock pickers or order selectors. The machinery has a platform on which the person who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he could pick things from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment moves forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are available.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain lift and travel speeds, fork size, reach limitations and weight limit. The majority have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than about one and a half meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase efficiency, but training is truly required to be able to prevent accidents. Employees should be trained on the specific units they would be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less pricey choice then you can use non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also referred to as hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These types of trucks make use of a hydraulic mechanism to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters off the ground. The operator pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are somewhat inexpensive and made for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork could hold two to three pallets. These trucks come in two types: the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" type is meant to be operated while the operator walks alongside. These kinds of trucks are commonly found in warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
