Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are often used to handle palletized loads while order pickers are made more to handle individual cases or items. Sometimes, order pickers are also referred to as order selectors or stock pickers. The machine includes a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he can pick stuff 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 offered.
Order Picker
Order pickers come with certain lift and travel speeds, fork size, weight limit and reach limitations. Nearly all have a fork size designed to load a typical pallet, no more than about one and a half meters long. The higher travel and lift speed helps increase efficiency, but training is required to prevent accidents. Personnel should be trained on the particular kind of unit they would be utilizing.
Low Lift Pallet Jacks
Non-powered pallet trucks
Non-powered pallet trucks are a less pricey choice. These simple lift trucks are also referred to as hand pallet trucks and hand pallet jacks. These types of trucks utilize a hydraulic device to lift pallets no more than several centimeters off the floor. The individual operating it pulls the load using the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are relatively inexpensive and made for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork can hold two or 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" kind is meant to be operated whilst the operator walks alongside. These types of trucks are normally found in warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both powered and non-powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
