Order pickers
Reach trucks and turret trucks are normally used to handle palletized loads whereas order pickers are made more to handle individual cases or items. Order pickers are also sometimes referred to as stock pickers or order selectors. The machine has a platform on which the operator stands. The order picker lifts the operator along with the forks so that he or she can pick stuff from the shelves and place them onto a pallet on the forks. The machinery could move forward while in an elevated position. Wire guidance systems are available.
Order Picker
Order pickers are available with certain fork size, lift and travel speeds and reach and weight limitations. Most have a fork size designed to load a standard pallet, no more than around one and a half meters in length. The higher travel and lift speed helps enhance production, but training is truly required to be able to prevent accidents. Employees should be trained on the particular type of unit they would be operating.

Non-powered pallet trucks
If you want a less pricey alternative then you could use non-powered pallet trucks. These simple lift trucks are also called hand pallet jacks and hand pallet trucks. These kinds of trucks use a hydraulic mechanism to be able to lift pallets no more than several centimeters off the floor. The person operating it pulls the load using the truck handle.
Electric-powered pallet trucks
Built for easy maneuvering, the electric-powered pallet trucks are cheaper. The size of the fork can hold two or three pallets. These trucks come in two kinds: the "rider" includes a platform wherein the operator rides in a standing position; the "walkie" type is designed to be operated whilst the operator walks alongside. These trucks are normally found within warehouses, with operators order picking as they move down the aisles. Both non-powered and powered pallet trucks are categorized as ITA Class 3.
