Low-level order pickers
The "P Series" of low-level order pickers is based on the P-Type chassis and is designed for picking orders from the first and second levels in warehouse racking. Two base versions of the lift trucks are available, with the driver position fixed (for picking at first level) or rising (for picking at second and sometimes third levels). Both can be supplied with either low- or high-lift forks to suit the type of picking regime adopted and the nature and volumes of the products to be picked.

Caster swivel lock provides easy access
A vertical swivel lock on heavy-duty casters is mounted at a 90-degree angle to the top plate providing much easier access to the operator. The new design reduces the amount of bending required by the operator. The swivel lock provides fingertip conversion of a swivel caster to a rigid caster for straight line steering control.

Low-volume palletizer
The NO-LIFT semi-automatic palletizer is designed to reduce worker fatigue and eliminate potential injury from lifting and stacking boxes onto shipping pallets. Boxes come from an in-feed conveyor and are easily positioned on the ball transfer table forming a layer. Once a layer is full, the operator simply pushes a button and the NO-LIFT stacks the boxes and lowers the pallet for the next layer. Full pallets are removed with a lift truck and replaced with an empty pallet. The NO-LIFT raises the pallet to the correct height to begin again. A scissor-lift transfer table and all controls are included.
