Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual cases or items, whereas reach trucks and turret trucks are utilized for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes known as order selectors or stock pickers. The equipment has a platform on which 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 machinery can move forward while in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are provided.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, travel and lift speeds and weight and reach limits. The majority have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than around one and a half meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase production, but training is really required to be able to avoid accidents. Employees must be trained on the specific kind of unit they would be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less pricey alternative then you could use non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks utilize a hydraulic device to be able to lift pallets no more than several centimeters above the ground. The operator pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite inexpensive and made for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork can hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "walkie" type is designed to be operated while the operator walks alongside; the "rider" includes a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position. These types of 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.
