Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual cases or items, whereas reach trucks and turret trucks are used for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes called order selectors or stock pickers. The machine includes a platform on which the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that she or he can pick stuff from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment moves forward while in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are available.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, lift and travel speeds and weight and reach limitations. The majority have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters in length. The higher lift and travel speed helps improve efficiency, but training is required to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the particular units they would be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less costly choice then you could use non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also referred to as hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These trucks make use of a hydraulic device in order to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters off the floor. The individual operating it pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are somewhat inexpensive and built for easy maneuvering. The fork size can hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "walkie" type is designed to be operated whilst the operator walks alongside; the "rider" has a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position. These types of trucks are normally found in warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
