Order Picking Equipment Options for Every Warehouse Need

Order picking equipment is a crucial aspect of any warehouse operation. A well-chosen order picking system can significantly boost productivity, reduce errors, and improve overall efficiency.

There are various types of order picking equipment to choose from, including automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), which can store up to 90% of inventory in a compact space.

Manual order picking is still a viable option for smaller warehouses or those with simple inventory systems. In fact, manual picking can be more cost-effective for small operations with limited budgets.

In contrast, automated order picking systems like pick-to-light and pick-to-voice can significantly increase picking speed and accuracy.

Order picking equipment is designed to make your job easier and safer. The latest generation of order pickers feature an even lower entry height, making it easier to get in and out.

Linde's modular concept means that the number of equipment options is constantly growing, so you can choose the right tools for the job. This is especially useful for operations that require a lot of customization.

Electrically monitored tilt barriers are a game-changer for higher working heights. They tilt outwards if you lean against them, increasing your reach by approximately 50 centimeters.

This makes it easier to reach goods on the shelf, saving you time and effort.

Ergonomics and safety are top priorities in the design of Linde order pickers. The low entry height of these order pickers is gentle on the legs when mounting and dismounting.

The platforms of these order pickers feature non-slip mats that are decoupled from the chassis by rubber supports, reducing the effect of vibrations. This makes for a more comfortable and productive work environment.

The control panels of Linde order pickers are ergonomically arranged and shaped for easy operation, allowing operators to work efficiently and safely. The driver can even operate the truck's functions from two positions when necessary.

The various assistance systems on these order pickers also play a crucial role in ensuring operator safety. For example, the truck automatically reduces speed while going round bends, and the optional personal protection system monitors the operational path via a scanner, stopping the truck if there are obstacles.

Goods can be picked up to 14.5 meters high with the V modular vertical order picker from Linde.

This is especially useful for warehouses with high shelves, where traditional order pickers might struggle to reach.

The N20 LoL from Linde Material Handling can load two pallets at a back-friendly height in just one order picking cycle, thanks to its long load arms and liftable fork.

This can significantly reduce the time and effort required for order picking, making it a more efficient process.

The V-model from Linde offers a maximum picking height of twelve meters, making it suitable for a wide range of warehouse configurations.

Linde's order picking equipment is designed to simplify the picking process for every height, from the layout of the control platform to the fold-out cab railings.

By using the right equipment, warehouses can experience increased efficiency, productivity, and cost savings.

For operations that pick full pallets daily or hourly, forklifts are a powerful solution, offering load capacities, height ranges, and rare load configurations that can be tackled by any of these trucks.

Working Ergonomically at Every Level is crucial for maintaining productivity and comfort while picking orders. The design of Linde order pickers is based on this principle, with every detail carefully considered to ensure a comfortable and focused work environment.

The low entry height of Linde order pickers is gentle on the legs when mounting and dismounting, allowing operators to move easily around the warehouse. This attention to detail is just one example of how Linde prioritizes ergonomics in their design.

Platforms with non-slip mats decoupled from the chassis by rubber supports reduce the effect of vibrations, making it easier for operators to work for extended periods without fatigue. This thoughtful design feature is a key aspect of Linde's commitment to ergonomics.

Operation is simple thanks to ergonomically arranged and shaped control panels, allowing operators to focus on their work without distractions. By streamlining the control process, Linde order pickers make it easier for operators to work efficiently.

Models designed for working at higher levels feature larger cabins with lower railings and tilt barriers to the sides, providing a safe and secure working environment. This attention to safety is a hallmark of Linde's commitment to ergonomics and safety.

Working high up is as easy and safe as working at floor level, thanks to the thoughtful design of Linde order pickers. By prioritizing ergonomics and safety, Linde has created a range of order pickers that make it easy for operators to work comfortably at any level.

Using the right order picker can save you time and effort. By picking and putting multiple orders, operators can save time and don't need to perform cumbersome manual tasks, such as reviewing pick tickets or paper lists.

The Linde connect fleet management system makes a decisive contribution to order and safety in the warehouse. This intelligent solution offers a real-time view of order status and inventory.

Order pickers like the ones from Linde can drive and raise their platform simultaneously, allowing the operator to reach their destination in the shortest possible time. This vertical movement is a game-changer for warehouses with high ceilings.

Boosting accuracy, efficiency, and reliability is key in warehouse operations. The Modula WMS integration offers a real-time view of order status and inventory, helping to streamline operations.

Using the right equipment can make a huge difference in the efficiency of your picking operations. The equipment you use is the foundation of success, and a custom order picking solution can help you streamline and improve any inefficiencies in your order picking strategy.

With the new Modula Picking App, operators can freely move around the warehouse while keeping all processes instantly updated and under control.

This app brings a whole new level of flexibility to the warehouse, allowing operators to work more efficiently and effectively.

Subaru of New England is a great example of this, with their 9 VLMs and put-to-light batch picking system allowing them to process up to 60 orders at a time.

Their picking rates are a staggering 1,600 lines per day, a testament to the power of the Modula Picking App and the right equipment.

Industrial Automation has also seen significant improvements with their Modula Lift and put-to-light batch picking system, increasing their picking speed and accuracy.

GF Machining has also seen great results, maintaining a 99% same-day shipping rate with their 3 VLMs and put-to-light batch picking system.

They've also managed to store their growing inventory in 50% less space, a huge benefit for any business looking to maximize their warehouse space.

The Modula Picking Station is ideal for operations with predetermined put positions. It's a great option for businesses that need a streamlined order picking process.

Pair the Modula Picking Station with the Modula Picking Cart for maximum flexibility. The cart is essentially a Put to Light station on wheels, allowing you to move retrievals to different locations as needed.

Mariotti 3-wheel forklifts are also worth considering, especially if you need to navigate fragile floors, ramps, or elevators. They're nicknamed "the world's smallest forklifts" and are known for their versatility and slender frames.

The height of goods varies from one user to another, which is why bespoke trucks are developed with different mast heights.

Linde's modular system allows for customization of truck features, such as mast heights, to suit individual needs.

Different mast heights are available to accommodate goods stored at various heights.

The size and weight of goods also play a role in determining the ideal truck configuration.

A modular system enables Linde to offer different chassis sizes to match the specific requirements of each user.

Customization of operating and control concepts is also possible, ensuring the truck is perfectly suited to the task at hand.

The result is a truck that makes every task easier for the operator, thanks to its tailored design.
