Frequently Asked Questions
What is an order picker?
An order picker is a specialized material handling machine designed to safely lift workers to medium and high heights for efficient order picking in warehouses, distribution centers, and storage facilities. Unlike traditional forklifts, it allows operators to stand on a platform and reach shelves directly to pick individual items or cases, making it ideal for high-density racking systems and e-commerce fulfillment operations.
Do you need training to use an order picker?
Yes, certified training is required to operate an order picker. As elevated work equipment, order pickers involve height, load handling, and maneuvering in narrow aisles. Proper training covers safety protocols, controls operation, load stability, fall protection, and daily inspections. Most safety regulations and employers mandate formal training and certification before using any order picker.
What is the difference between a forklift and an order picker?
The main difference between a forklift and an order picker is their purpose and design. A forklift lifts and transports entire pallets, with the operator staying at ground level. An order picker lifts the operator along with the platform to pick individual products directly from shelves, focusing on case or each-pick operations. Order pickers are narrower, better for high-racking and tight aisles, while forklifts prioritize heavy pallet lifting and transport.
