Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Walkie or Rider is a Motorized Pallet Truck that is essentially a motorized type of a pallet jack. They come in both "Walkie" models as well as "Rider" versions.
Just as the name implies, the walkie model is designed for the operator to walk along with the unit while they move loads. The Rider model however, uses a small platform wherein the operator stands on. The rider models are ideal for frequent moving of cargo over extended distances within warehouses and manufacturing applications. They are extremely fast and maneuverable.
It is vital to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and therefore, it is not recommended to move tall or unstable loads with these machinery. A rider could be the best answer if you are searching for an inexpensive way of transporting cargo from point A to point B. If though, you should transport heavy loads short distances, and prefer to use a more employee-friendly unit instead of a pallet jack, the walkie model can be the best choice.
Order Selector
The order picker or order selector is a piece machine designed specially 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 which could function in aisles of less than six feet. They are extremely handy pieces of machinery in physical inventories as well as in cycle counting situations. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, although models that range in the 20 to 30 foot range are a lot more common.
