Order pickers
Order pickers are designed to handle individual cases or items, while turret trucks and reach trucks are for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes known as order selectors or stock pickers. The machinery has a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he can pick things from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The machine could move forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are provided.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain lift and travel speeds, fork size, reach limitations and weight limit. The majority have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters long. The higher lift and travel speed helps improve production, but training is really necessary in order to prevent accidents. Employees must be trained on the specific type of unit they would be operating.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less pricey choice then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also known as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These types of trucks use a hydraulic mechanism in order to lift pallets just several centimeters off the floor. The person 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 size of the fork could hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two types: the "rider" has a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is designed to be operated whilst the operator walks next to it. These trucks are usually found within warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
