Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Rider or Walkie 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.
The walkie type as the name implies, is made to enable the operator to walk along the machine as they lift and transport cargo. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are great for frequent transporting of loads over extended distances in 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 hence, it is not recommended to move tall or unstable loads utilizing these machines. A rider might be the right answer if you are searching for a cheap way of moving cargo from point A to point B. If though, you are required to move heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model can be the best choice.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This machine is particularly designed 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 platform elevates both the load and the operator with a purpose to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Typically, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle that could operate in smaller aisles. They are really useful pieces of machinery during cycle counting situations as well as in 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 a lot more popular.
