Order pickers
Turret trucks and reach trucks are commonly used to handle palletized loads whereas order pickers are designed more to handle individual cases or items. Order pickers are also sometimes called stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment includes a platform on which the person who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he can pick stuff from the shelves and place 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, travel and lift speeds and weight and reach limitations. The majority have a fork size designed 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 necessary to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the specific kind of unit they will be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less costly 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 trucks use a hydraulic device to lift pallets just several centimeters off the ground. The person operating it pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are somewhat cheap and made for easy maneuvering. The fork size could hold two to three pallets. These trucks come in two types: the "walkie" kind is meant to be operated while the operator walks alongside; the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position. These kinds of trucks are normally found in warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
