Introduction

Order Pickers are commonly used in distribution centres and warehouses, primarily for low and high-level order picking in narrow aisles.

An Order Picker assists employees by elevating them to the necessary height to pick items from pallets on racking. These trucks vary in design, with some models capable of extending beyond 10 meters, even though many are considered low-level machines. To ensure safety, Order Pickers are equipped with built-in fall protection to prevent the risk of falling from height. These trucks help reduce manual handling by enabling operators to reach goods more easily without excessive bending or stretching. With the proper training, Order Pickers can significantly enhance productivity and efficiency in the workplace.
