Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Walkie or Rider is a Motorized Pallet Truck which is basically a motorized version of a pallet jack. They are available in both "Walkie" models as well as "Rider" versions.
Like what the name implies, the walkie model is designed for the operator to walk along with the unit as they transport loads. The Rider model on the other hand, utilizes a small platform for which the operator stands on. The rider models are great for frequent transporting of cargo over extended distances in warehouses and manufacturing operations. They are really 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 with these machines. A rider could be the best answer if you are searching for an inexpensive way of moving loads from one place to another. If though, you should 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 right choice.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This equipment 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 particular platform elevates both the operator and the load with a purpose to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.
Usually, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle which could function in smaller aisles. They are really useful pieces of equipment during physical inventories as well as during 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.
