An electric order picker is a type of material handling equipment specifically designed for efficiently retrieving and handling goods stored on racks at various heights in a warehouse or distribution center. Unlike traditional forklifts, electric order pickers allow the operator to be elevated along with the mast, enabling them to pick items directly from the shelving at heights typically up to 40 feet. This capability increases picking accuracy and efficiency, especially in environments where a high volume of individual products need to be selected from different locations. Electric order pickers are battery-powered, offering quieter operation and reduced emissions compared to their internal combustion counterparts, and are often used in narrow aisle applications due to their compact design and maneuverability.
