Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are commonly used to handle palletized loads whereas order pickers are designed more to handle individual cases or items. Sometimes, order pickers are also known as order selectors or stock pickers. The equipment includes a platform on which the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that he or she can pick things from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The machine moves forward while 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 limitations. Most have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters in length. The higher lift and travel speed helps improve production, but training is necessary to prevent accidents. Employees must be trained on the particular type of unit they would be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less expensive option then you can utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also called hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These kinds of trucks utilize a hydraulic mechanism in order to lift pallets just a few centimeters off the floor. The operator pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Made for easy maneuvering, the electric-powered pallet trucks are reasonably priced. The size of the fork could hold two or 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 whilst the operator walks next to it. These trucks are normally 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.
