Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are usually used to handle palletized loads whereas order pickers are made more to handle individual cases or items. Sometimes, order pickers are also referred to as stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment has a platform wherein the person who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that he or she can pick stuff from the shelves and put them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment could move forward whilst in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are offered.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, travel and lift speeds and weight and reach limits. The majority have a fork size intended to load a standard pallet, no more than about one and a half meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance production, but training is really required to prevent accidents. Employees must be trained on the specific units they would be operating.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less costly option. These basic lift trucks are also called hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks utilize a hydraulic mechanism in order to lift pallets just several centimeters above the ground. The operator pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite inexpensive and made for easy maneuvering. The fork size could hold two or three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "rider" includes a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" type is meant to be operated while the operator walks next to it. These trucks are normally found within warehouses, with operators order picking while moving down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
