Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Walkie or Rider is a Motorized Pallet Truck which is essentially a motorized type of a pallet jack. They are available in both "Rider" versions as well as "Walkie" models.
The walkie model as the name implies, is made to allow the operator to walk along the machinery while they pick up and move loads. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are great for frequent transporting of loads over extended distances in warehouses and manufacturing operations. They are highly maneuverable and fast.
It is vital to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and hence, it is not recommended to move unstable or tall loads with these machinery. A rider could be the perfect answer if you are searching for an inexpensive method for transporting cargo from one location to another. If though, you must transport heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model can be the best alternative.
Order Selector
The order selector or order picker is a piece machine designed specially for manual handling of less-than-pallet-load quantities in racking. There are fixed forks connected to a platform in the Man-up design. This particular platform elevates both the operator and the load in an effort to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Order Selectors are typically very narrow aisle vehicles which could operate in aisles of less than six feet. They are extremely useful pieces of machine during physical inventories as well as in cycle counting situations. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, although models which range in the 20 to 30 foot range are much more common.
