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 and "Walkie" models.
Like what the name implies, the walkie type is designed for the operator to walk along with the unit while they transport loads. The Rider model on the other hand, uses a small platform for which the operator stands on. The rider models are great for frequent moving of cargo over extended distances in manufacturing operations and warehouses. They are highly fast and maneuverable.
It is vital to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and hence, it is not recommended to transport unstable or tall loads utilizing these machines. A rider can be the perfect answer if you are looking for an inexpensive way of transporting loads from point A to point B. If though, you should move heavy loads short distances, and prefer to use a more employee-friendly unit rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model could be the right choice.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This machinery is particularly made 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 load and the operator with a purpose to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Order Selectors are usually very narrow aisle vehicles that could operate in aisles of less than six feet. They are very handy pieces of machine during cycle counting situations as well as during physical inventories. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, though models that range in the 20 to 30 foot range are a lot more popular.
