Order Pickers
Trucks that lift the operator with the load so cases can be picked from the second and third beam without a ladder. Low-level pickers work to about 2.5 m; high-level pickers run on the same guided aisles as very narrow aisle trucks.
Features
- The platform carries a harness anchorage and gate interlocks, and travel is inhibited or speed-limited with the platform raised.
- Lift height is quoted to the platform floor, not to a fork tip, so the reach a picker really has is platform height plus roughly 1.5 m.
- Low-level pickers carry one or two pallets on fixed forks and are specified around walking distance per order line rather than lift height.
- High-level pickers above roughly 6 m need aisle guidance and a slab flat enough to keep mast sway inside the rack opening.
- Step height and platform layout drive picker fatigue more than any other single figure on the data sheet.
