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 as well as "Walkie" models.
The walkie type as the name implies, is made to allow the operator to walk along the machinery while they pick up and transport cargo. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are great for frequent transporting of cargo over extended distances within warehouses and manufacturing applications. They are really fast and maneuverable.
It is vital to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and thus, it is not recommended to transport tall or unstable loads with these equipment. A rider could be the right answer if you are searching for an inexpensive way of transporting cargo from one location to another. If though, you should move heavy loads short distances, and prefer to use a more employee-friendly unit instead of a pallet jack, the walkie model could be the right choice.
Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This machinery is particularly designed 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 with a purpose to facilitate manual unloading and loading from racking areas.
Usually, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle that could work in smaller aisles. They are extremely useful pieces of machinery during cycle counting situations as well as during 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.
