Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual cases or items, while turret trucks and reach trucks are for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes referred to as order selectors or stock pickers. The equipment includes a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that he or she can pick things from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment moves forward whilst 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 limits. Nearly all have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than about one and a half meters in length. The higher lift and travel speed helps increase production, but training is required to prevent accidents. Personnel must be trained on the particular kind of unit they would be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less expensive choice then you can utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also known as hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These types of trucks use a hydraulic device in order to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters off the floor. The operator pulls the load using the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite inexpensive and made for easy maneuvering. The fork size can hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "rider" has a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is meant to be operated while the operator walks next to it. These kinds of trucks are normally found within warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
