Order pickers
Order pickers are designed to handle individual items or cases, whereas turret trucks and reach trucks are for handling palletized loads. Sometimes, order pickers are also referred to as stock pickers or order selectors. The machine has a platform on which the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that he or she can pick stuff from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment moves forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are provided.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, travel and lift speeds and reach and weight limitations. Nearly all have a fork size designed to load a standard pallet, no more than around 1.5 meters long. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance efficiency, but training is really necessary to prevent accidents. Employees 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 choice. These basic lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks use a hydraulic device to lift pallets just several centimeters above the floor. The individual operating it pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Made for easy maneuvering, the electric-powered pallet trucks are cheaper. The size of the fork could hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "rider" has a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is meant to be operated while the operator walks alongside. These trucks are normally found within warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
