Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Walkie or Rider is a Motorized Pallet Truck that is basically a motorized type of a pallet jack. They come in both "Rider" versions as well as "Walkie" models.
Just as the name implies, the walkie model is designed for the operator to walk alongside with the unit as they move cargo. The Rider model on the other hand, utilizes a small platform wherein the operator stands on. The rider models are ideal for frequent moving of loads over extended distances in manufacturing applications and warehouses. They are really maneuverable and fast.
It is not recommended to lift and transport unstable or tall loads since there are no safety cages on these models. A rider could be the perfect answer if you are searching for a cheap method for moving loads from one location to another. If though, you should transport heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit instead of a pallet jack, the walkie model can be the best choice.
Order Selector
The order selector or order picker is a piece machine made particularly for manual handling of less-than-pallet-load quantities in racking. There are fixed forks connected to a platform in the Man-up design. This particular platform elevates both the operator and the load in order to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Normally, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle that can work in smaller aisles. They are very useful pieces of machine in cycle counting situations as well as during physical inventories. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, although models which range in the 20 to 30 foot range are much more common.
