Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Rider or Walkie is a Motorized Pallet Truck which is basically a motorized type of a pallet jack. They come in both "Rider" versions as well as "Walkie" models.
Like what the name implies, the walkie type is designed for the operator to walk alongside with the unit as they move loads. The Rider model however, uses a small platform for which the operator stands on. The rider models are great for frequent moving of loads over extended distances in warehouses and manufacturing applications. They are highly fast and maneuverable.
It is important to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and therefore, it is not recommended to move unstable or tall loads utilizing these equipment. A rider could be the perfect answer if you are searching for an inexpensive way of transporting cargo from one place to another. If though, you are required to move heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model might be the right alternative.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This equipment is specially designed for manual handling of less-than-pallet-load quantities in racking. There are fixed forks attached to a platform in the Man-up design. This particular platform elevates both the operator and the load in an effort to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Order Selectors are normally very narrow aisle vehicles which could operate in aisles of less than six feet. They are really useful pieces of machinery during cycle counting situations as well as in physical inventories. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, though models that range in the 20 to 30 foot range are a lot more popular.
