Order pickers
Order pickers are made to handle individual cases or items, whereas reach trucks and turret trucks are for handling palletized loads. Order pickers are also sometimes called stock pickers or order selectors. The equipment includes a platform wherein the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that she or he could pick things from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The machine moves forward while 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. The majority have a fork size designed to load an average pallet, no more than around one and a half meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance productivity, but training is necessary to avoid accidents. Personnel must be trained on the particular units they would be utilizing.

Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less pricey choice then you could utilize non-powered pallet trucks. These basic lift trucks are also called hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These trucks use a hydraulic mechanism to be able to lift pallets just several centimeters off the ground. The person operating it pulls the load utilizing the handle of the truck.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Electric-powered pallet trucks are quite inexpensive and built for easy maneuvering. The size of the fork could hold two to three pallets. These trucks are available in two types: the "rider" includes a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" kind is meant to be operated whilst the operator walks next to it. These trucks are usually found in warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
