An order picker is a man-up lift that raises the operator along with the forks and platform, allowing direct case or piece picking from racking at height. These trucks are essential in high-volume fulfillment operations where operators need access to specific SKUs across multiple rack levels.

Order pickers provide direct access to pick locations at every elevation. Pallet jacks typically serve ground-level locations and, in some cases, the second beam level. A reach truck remains operated from floor level and generally requires pallets from higher beam levels to be moved down before individual cases or pieces can be selected.

A reach truck retrieves full pallets from floor-level and elevated rack positions. An order picker raises the operator to the pick location so individual cases or pieces can be selected manually. Reach trucks are designed for full-pallet put-away and retrieval, while order pickers support split-case and piece-picking operations where high SKU variety requires direct access at elevation.

The Raymond 5300 order picker reaches heights of up to 241 inches, the 5500 reaches up to 366 inches, and the 5600 reaches up to 456 inches. The furniture order picker reaches up to 390 inches and is designed for handling bulky and oversized items.

The furniture order picker handles loads up to 1,500 pounds. The Raymond 5300 supports capacities from 2,000 to 3,000 pounds, depending on lift height, while the 5500 and 5600 are rated for 3,000 pounds. These models are well suited for grocery, wholesale, e-commerce, and general warehousing applications.

Yes. Raymond order pickers are engineered for narrow and very narrow aisle environments. They can operate with wire-guided or rail-guided systems that keep the truck centered within the aisle. Wire guidance also supports potential integration with Zoning and Positioning and the In-Aisle Detection System for more efficient and accurate picking.

By elevating operators directly to each rack level, order pickers provide fast access to pallet locations throughout a rack system. When paired with Zoning and Positioning and iWAREHOUSE labor management tools, operations gain real-time visibility into operator performance. This supports continuous improvement in picks per hour, fulfillment accuracy, and overall warehouse throughput.
