Motorized Pallet Truck
The Walkie-Rider, Walkie or Rider is a Motorized Pallet Truck that is basically a motorized type of a pallet jack. They are available in both "Rider" versions and "Walkie" models.
The walkie model as the name implies, is made to enable the operator to walk along the machine while they pick up and move loads. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are great for frequent moving of cargo over extended distances within manufacturing operations and warehouses. They are extremely maneuverable and fast.
It is essential to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and hence, it is not recommended to move unstable or tall loads with these machinery. A rider could be the perfect answer if you are looking for a cheap way of transporting loads 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 might be the best option.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This machinery is specifically 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 load and the operator in order to facilitate manual unloading and loading 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 machine during 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 a lot more popular.
