1. The Characteristic of Order Picking Truck
2. Low-level Order Picking Truck
3. Intermediate Order Picking Truck
4. High-level Order Picking Truck

Order picking lift truck is ideally suited for a wide variety of order picking operations found in: warehouse and distribution centers, manufacturing plants, beverage and food processing plants, third party logistics providers and e-commerce companies, among others. Powerful, 3-phase AC motors for travel, lifting and steering provide the muscle and control to perform order picking tasks with minimal effort, even in high racking warehouse operations

Characteristic:
An order picking truck, in particular a high-lift order picking truck, is equipped with a driver's stand , a load-picking fork and a wall separating the driver's stand from the load area. The fork is secured on an initial lift device so that it can be moved up and down relative to the driver's stand . According to the invention, an additional lift device is provided with which a load on the fork can be raised beyond the highest position of the initial lift device. The fork has two-part fork tines which each have a load picking upper part and a lower part secured to the initial lift device. Each two-part fork tine includes a scissor construction guiding the upper part of the tine parallel with the lower part of the tine.

This free path trucks for order picking are available for low level picking, intermediate and for high level picking.

Low-level Order Picking Truck

The low-level order pickers, which are for high frequency order picking have a picking height of up to 3.5 metros, width of the driven platform is 80 meters to 120meters and has a maximum driving speed of 9km/h

Intermedia level Order Picking Truck



The intermediate level order picking truck load capacity of 600 - 1000kg and a maximum picking height of 6.5 -7 meters, medium-level order pickers were suitable for goods that were bulky but not too heavy, for example, automotive parts.

High-level Order Picking Truck

The high level order picking truck high-level order picking, which are for low frequency orders have a maximum picking height of up to 9.5 meters and some may have a maximum picking height of 10.5 meters. It also has a optimum picking area which starts at 5meters and it is able to handle tuck load capacity of 800kg – 1000kg depending on the different chassis widths or lengths on need of use. The truck can be driven anywhere in the warehouse and in rail-guided aisles.

Latest trend:

AC technology is used in the truck's in-service capabilities and performance with low energy consumption through more efficient electrical management systems. A regenerative lowering and braking design feeds energy back into the truck supply system prolonging in-use operation cycles and reducing the time needed to recharge batteries. Energy costs are lower, and the overall cost of ownership is significantly reduced.The truck's cushioned stand-on platform allows the operator to effortlessly maneuver individual items from the racking. The economically designed cab features a compact operating panel with a graphic display, including: battery discharge monitor, operating hour meter, key switch, emergency stop switch, clock, and lift height and steering position indicators. The cab allows the operator to either stand or sit providing a user-friendly work environment.Many operator functions can be easily accomplished with one hand due to a variety of ergonomically positioned motion controls. Each operator's touch (sensitivity) is individually adjustable for comfort and operational efficiency. Switch-free sensors calibrate the operator's touch and then pass the information to the onboard computer where all safety checks are verified.
