Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Rider or Walkie is a Motorized Pallet Truck which is basically a motorized version of a pallet jack. They come in both "Walkie" models and "Rider" versions.
Like what the name implies, the walkie model is designed for the operator to walk alongside with the unit as they move loads. The Rider model however, utilizes a small platform wherein the operator stands on. The rider models are great for frequent moving of loads over extended distances within warehouses and manufacturing operations. They are really maneuverable and fast.
It is vital to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and therefore, it is not recommended to move tall or unstable loads with these equipment. A rider can be the perfect answer if you are looking for a cheap way of moving cargo from point A to point B. If though, you must transport heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model could be the right choice.
Order Selector
The order picker or order selector is a piece machinery designed specifically 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 particular platform elevates both the load and the operator in an effort to facilitate manual unloading and loading from racking areas.
Order Selectors are normally very narrow aisle vehicles which can operate in aisles of less than six feet. They are very useful pieces of equipment in cycle counting situations as well as in 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 much more popular.
