Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Rider or Walkie is a Motorized Pallet Truck that is basically a motorized type of a pallet jack. They come in both "Walkie" models as well as "Rider" versions.
The walkie type as the name implies, is made to enable the operator to walk alongside the machinery as they lift and move loads. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are ideal for frequent moving of loads over extended distances within manufacturing applications and warehouses. They are really maneuverable and fast.
It is essential to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and hence, it is not recommended to move unstable or tall loads utilizing these machines. A rider could be the perfect answer if you are searching for a cheap way of moving loads from point A to point B. If though, you should transport heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model can be the right alternative.
Order Selector
The order selector or order picker is a piece equipment made particularly for manual handling of less-than-pallet-load quantities in racking. There are fixed forks attached to a platform in the Man-up design. This platform elevates both the operator and the load with a purpose to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Order Selectors are normally very narrow aisle vehicles that could function in aisles of less than six feet. They are extremely handy pieces of machine in cycle counting situations as well as in physical inventories. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, although models that range in the 20 to 30 foot range are much more common.
