Order pickers
Order pickers are designed to handle individual cases or items, whereas turret trucks and reach trucks are for handling palletized loads. Sometimes, order pickers are also called stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment has a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that she or he could pick items from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment moves forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are provided.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain travel and lift speeds, fork size, reach limitations and weight limit. The majority have a fork size intended to load a standard pallet, no more than around 1.5 meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase production, but training is truly required to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the particular kind of unit they will be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less pricey choice. These basic lift trucks are also referred to as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks use a hydraulic mechanism to lift pallets no more than several centimeters off the ground. The person operating it pulls the load utilizing the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are relatively inexpensive and built for easy maneuvering. The fork size can hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "rider" has a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" version is designed to be operated whilst the operator walks alongside. These trucks are normally found in warehouses, with operators order picking whilst moving down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
