What is an order picker?
An order picker is a piece of equipment (or a person) that is used to pick and deliver material required for filling orders from storage. An order picker is usually an electric lift truck that is designed exclusively for filling individual customer orders which require case picking or piece-part. It is used at elevations higher than the 2nd level of racking in a distribution center or warehouse and it can reach heights up to 390”. 24 or 36-volt industrial batteries are usually used to power order pickers.
