Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are usually utilized to handle palletized loads whereas order pickers are made more to handle individual items or cases. Order pickers are also sometimes called 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 she or he could pick stuff from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The machinery could move forward while in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are available.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain lift and travel speeds, fork size, weight limit and reach limitations. The majority have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than around 1.5 meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase productivity, but training is really necessary in order to avoid accidents. Employees should be trained on the specific units they would be operating.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less expensive choice then you can utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also called hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These kinds of trucks use a hydraulic mechanism to be able to lift pallets just several centimeters above the floor. The operator pulls the load using the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are relatively cheap and made for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork can hold two or three pallets. These trucks come in two types: the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" version is designed to be operated whilst the operator walks next to it. These kinds of trucks are usually found in warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
