Order Picker Forklift FAQs
An order picker forklift truck, also known as a long load picker forklift or warehouse order picker, is an industrial truck used in warehouses and distribution centres. It’s designed to lift the operator to high racking so they can pick individual items to fulfil customer orders.
Unlike traditional forklifts that lift pallets, long load bundles or stillages, an order picker forklift elevates the operator to warehouse racking and shelving. It’s optimised for picking single items rather than moving entire loads, allowing operators to select orders of different products without having to remove and replace entire bundles.
Operators should be trained and certified, wear safety harnesses, and adhere to weight limits. Regular maintenance checks and following manufacturer guidelines are also crucial.
Yes! Sidetracker’s warehouse order pickers are specifically designed for narrow-aisle operations, offering great manoeuvrability in tight spaces.
