Order pickers
Turret trucks and reach trucks are normally used to handle palletized loads whilst order pickers are designed more to handle individual cases or items. Order pickers are also sometimes called stock pickers or order selectors. The machine includes a platform on which the individual who is operating it stands. The order picker lifts the operator together with the forks so that he or she could pick things from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The equipment moves forward whilst 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. 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 enhance production, but training is necessary to be able to prevent accidents. Personnel must be trained on the specific kind of unit they will be using.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less pricey choice. These basic lift trucks are also known as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These trucks utilize a hydraulic device to lift pallets no more than a few centimeters above the ground. 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 reasonably priced. The size of the fork could hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two kinds: the "walkie" kind is designed to be operated while the operator walks next to it; the "rider" has a platform on which the operator rides in a standing position. These types of trucks are normally found within warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
