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 are available in both "Rider" versions as well as "Walkie" models.
The walkie model as the name implies, is made to allow the operator to walk alongside the machinery as they lift and transport cargo. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are ideal for frequent moving of cargo 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 therefore, it is not recommended to move tall or unstable loads utilizing these equipment. A rider can be the best answer if you are looking for an inexpensive way of moving cargo from one place to another. If though, you should move heavy loads short distances, and prefer to use a more employee-friendly unit instead of a pallet jack, the walkie model can be the right choice.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This machine is particularly made 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 load and the operator in an effort to facilitate manual unloading and loading from racking areas.
Usually, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle that could function in smaller aisles. They are very handy pieces of equipment during physical inventories as well as in cycle counting situations. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, though models which range in the 20 to 30 foot range are a lot more common.
