Order pickers
Turret trucks and reach trucks are usually utilized to handle palletized loads whereas order pickers are designed more to handle individual items or cases. Order pickers are also sometimes known as order selectors or stock pickers. The machine includes a platform on which the individual who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he can pick things 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 available.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, travel and lift speeds and weight and reach limitations. The majority have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters long. The higher lift and travel speed helps improve production, but training is really necessary to prevent accidents. Personnel should be trained on the specific type of unit they will be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less expensive choice then you could use non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks use a hydraulic mechanism in order to lift pallets no more than several centimeters above the ground. The operator pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite inexpensive and built for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork could hold two or 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 while the operator walks alongside. These types of trucks are commonly found within warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
