Order pickers
Turret trucks and reach trucks are normally used to handle palletized loads whilst order pickers are designed more to handle individual items or cases. Order pickers are also sometimes referred to as order selectors or stock pickers. The machine has a platform on which the individual who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that she or he could pick items from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The machinery moves forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are provided.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, lift and travel speeds and weight and reach limits. The majority have a fork size designed to load a standard pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance productivity, but training is truly necessary to prevent accidents. Personnel must be trained on the specific units they would be operating.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less costly option then you can utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also known as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These types of trucks use a hydraulic mechanism to be able to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters off the ground. The operator pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
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 come in two types: the "rider" has a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is meant to be operated whilst the operator walks next to it. These trucks are commonly found in warehouses, with operators order picking while moving down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
