Order pickers
Turret trucks and reach trucks are often utilized to handle palletized loads while order pickers are designed more to handle individual items or cases. Sometimes, order pickers are also called stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment includes a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that he or she can pick items from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The machine could move forward while in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are provided.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain lift and travel speeds, fork size, weight limit and reach limitations. Nearly all have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than around one and a half meters long. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase production, but training is truly essential to avoid accidents. Employees should be trained on the specific kind of unit they would be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less expensive alternative then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also known as hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These trucks use a hydraulic device to be able to lift pallets just a few centimeters off the ground. The individual operating it pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are relatively inexpensive and made for easy maneuvering. The fork size could hold two or three pallets. These trucks come in two kinds: the "rider" includes 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 kinds of trucks are usually 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.
