Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual items or cases, while turret trucks and reach trucks are utilized for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes called stock pickers or order selectors. 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 things 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, travel and lift speeds and weight and reach limits. Most have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than around one and a half meters long. The higher lift and travel speed helps improve efficiency, but training is necessary in order to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the particular units they would be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less costly choice then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These types of trucks make use of a hydraulic device to lift pallets no more than several centimeters above the ground. The individual operating it pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite cheap and made for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork could hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two types: the "rider" includes a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is designed to be operated whilst the operator walks alongside. These kinds of trucks are normally found within warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
