Order Picker TrucksOrder picker trucks are designed to retrieve items on or near the ground level directly from a storage area. They are composed of an extendable mast, long load platform, a stand-up operator platform, and a load former, which defines the volume over a portion of the load platform to guide the operator and stabilize the load on the platform. It is a type of narrow aisle forklift, operating in aisles less than 6 feet wide. It is able to move racked loads smaller than the pallet size and keep them in order and organized. The weight capacity for order picker trucks is 3500 pounds. Most order picker trucks have recently become electric due to newer emission standards. The operator compartment in order picker trucks rises vertically simultaneously with the fork, which facilitates manual loading and unloading from storage rack systems. They are able to lift pallets up to 40 feet in the air, but become unstable at the maximum height. The load platform and fork are independent of each other, but both travel vertically and are controlled by a control panel run by the truck operator. Some operating compartments are considered a cabin, which has a roof, while others merely have a standing platform. Both of these often have anti-fatigue flooring, which helps operators work while standing for longer periods of time.
