Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are usually used to handle palletized loads while order pickers are designed more to handle individual cases or items. Sometimes, order pickers are also called stock pickers or order selectors. The machine has a platform on which the person 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 machinery moves 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 limitations. Most have a fork size intended to load an average pallet, no more than about 1.5 meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase productivity, but training is required to prevent accidents. Employees should be trained on the specific kind of unit they will be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less costly option then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also called hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These types of trucks utilize a hydraulic device to lift pallets just a few centimeters off the floor. The individual operating it pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Made for easy maneuvering, the electric-powered pallet trucks are cheaper. The fork size could hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two types: the "walkie" version is designed to be operated while the operator walks alongside; the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position. These types 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.
