Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are usually used to handle palletized loads while order pickers are made more to handle individual cases or items. Order pickers are also sometimes known as stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment includes a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he could pick items 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 come with certain travel and lift speeds, fork size, weight limit and reach limitations. The majority have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than around 1.5 meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase productivity, but training is required in order to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the specific units they would be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less pricey option. These simple lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks make use of a hydraulic device to lift pallets no more than several centimeters above the floor. The operator pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite inexpensive and built for easy maneuvering. The fork size could hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" version is meant to be operated while the operator walks alongside. These types of trucks are commonly found in warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
