Order Pickers

Order pickers put the operator up at the pick — raising a worker on a platform to pull individual cases and items from mid- and high-level racking. When you're picking less-than-pallet quantities from height, our order pickers move that work up safely and fast, without the ladder trips and reaching that slow a manual operation down.

Choosing the Right Order Picker

Order pickers are built around pick height and how you move product. Low-level units handle ground and first-beam picking with speed; high-level units lift the operator well up the rack for dense storage.

• Pick height: Match the platform's maximum elevation to your highest pick location.
• Load deck: Consider the size of pallet or cart you'll carry along on the platform.
• Fall protection: A harness and anchor point are standard practice any time the operator is elevated.

Order Picker vs. Reach Truck

A reach truck moves whole pallets in and out of the rack. An order picker raises the person to pick pieces and cases from those pallets. If you're breaking pallets down into smaller orders, you want an order picker.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an order picker used for?

Picking individual cases or items from racking while the operator rides up on a platform, rather than moving full pallets.

Do operators need fall protection?

Yes — whenever the platform is elevated, a harness connected to the machine's anchor point is standard safe practice.

How is it different from a scissor lift?

An order picker travels through aisles and raises the operator to pick stock; a scissor lift is a stationary vertical platform for maintenance or access work.
