Motorized Pallet Truck
A Motorized Pallet Truck normally goes by other names such as: Walkie-Rider, Rider or Walkie. These pieces of equipment are essentially a motorized version of a pallet jack. They come in both "Rider" versions as well as "Walkie" models.

The walkie model as the name implies, is made to enable the operator to walk alongside the machine while they lift and move loads. The operator stands on a small platform on the Rider model. The rider models are great for frequent moving of cargo over extended distances in warehouses and manufacturing operations. They are extremely fast and maneuverable.

It is important to remember that there is no safety cage on this model and hence, it is not recommended to transport tall or unstable loads using these machines. A rider might be the right answer if you are looking for an inexpensive way of moving loads from point A to point B. If though, you should move heavy loads short distances, and prefer to utilize a more employee-friendly unit instead of a pallet jack, the walkie model might be the best option.

Order Selector
An Order Selector also goes by the name of Order picker. This machine is specially made for manual handling of less-than-pallet-load quantities in racking. There are fixed forks attached to a platform in the Man-up design. This platform elevates both the operator and the load with a purpose to facilitate manual loading and unloading from racking areas.

Normally, the order selector is a very narrow aisle vehicle that can work in smaller aisles. They are very useful pieces of equipment in cycle counting situations as well as during physical inventories. Order selectors are available in lift heights up to 40 feet high, although models which range in the 20 to 30 foot range are much more common.
