Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual items or cases, while turret trucks and reach trucks are used for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes called stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment has a platform wherein the individual who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that she or he can pick stuff from the shelves and put 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 are available with certain fork size, travel and lift speeds and reach and weight limits. The majority have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance efficiency, but training is required to be able to prevent accidents. Personnel must be trained on the specific kind of unit they would be operating.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less pricey choice then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also referred to as hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These trucks use a hydraulic device in order to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters above the ground. The person operating it pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are somewhat cheap and built for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork could hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "walkie" type is meant to be operated while the operator walks alongside; the "rider" has a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position. These trucks are commonly found in warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
