Order pickers
Order pickers are designed to handle individual cases or items, whereas turret trucks and reach trucks are utilized for handling palletized loads. Sometimes, order pickers are also called order selectors or stock pickers. The equipment has a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that he or she could pick stuff from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The machine moves forward whilst 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. Most have a fork size designed to load a typical pallet, no more than about one and a half meters long. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase productivity, but training is really required to be able to avoid accidents. Employees should be trained on the particular units they would be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less costly choice. These basic lift trucks are also known as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks use a hydraulic mechanism in order to lift pallets no more than several centimeters above the floor. The person operating it pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite cheap and made for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork could hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "walkie" kind is designed to be operated while the operator walks next to it; the "rider" has a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position. These kinds of trucks are commonly found in warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
