Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Walkie or Rider is a Motorized Pallet Truck which is essentially a motorized version of a pallet jack. They come in both "Rider" versions and "Walkie" models.
The walkie type as the name implies, is made to enable the operator to walk along the machine as they lift and move loads. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are ideal for frequent transporting of loads over extended distances in manufacturing operations and warehouses. They are extremely maneuverable and fast.
It is vital to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and thus, it is not recommended to transport unstable or tall loads with these machinery. A rider might be the best answer if you are searching for an inexpensive method for 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 rather than a pallet jack, the walkie model might be the best choice.
Order Selector
The order selector or order picker is a piece equipment made particularly 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 order to facilitate manual unloading and loading from racking areas.
Normally, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle which could operate in smaller aisles. They are really useful 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, although models that range in the 20 to 30 foot range are a lot more popular.
