Order pickers
Order pickers are designed to handle individual cases or items, whereas turret trucks and reach trucks are for handling palletized loads. Sometimes, order pickers are also referred to as stock pickers or order selectors. The machinery includes a platform wherein the individual who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that he or she can pick items from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment could move forward while in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are offered.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, lift and travel speeds and reach and weight limitations. Nearly all have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than around one and a half meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance production, but training is essential to be able to avoid accidents. Employees must be trained on the specific units they would be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less pricey choice. These simple lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks make use of a hydraulic device to lift pallets just several centimeters above the floor. 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 fork size could hold two or three pallets. These trucks come in two types: the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" version is designed to be operated while the operator walks alongside. These kinds of trucks are normally 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.
