The Perks of Using a Jungheinrich Electric Order Picker


The world is in a state of chaos right now, with limited store hours, empty shelves, and a government that is encouraging people to stay home. All of these factors are contributing to an increase in online sales and a need to restock grocery stores quickly. Subsequentially, warehouses are being overloaded with order fulfillment, making it critical for them to have efficient processes and items in place to prepare for the in flux– including the machines they are using. When fulfilling orders, a key piece of equipment is the electric order picker, which is used to elevate the operator so that they can manually pick an order from a rack. Below are some of the benefits of using a Jungheinrich electric order picker when demand – and your racks – are high.


Productivity
The Jungheinrich order picker has a control handle with a solid base for a secure grip. This allows for precise control of lifting functions. The order picker is also designed to lock the pallet in place for a strong grip that provides optimum control of the load. In addition, the high-performance speeds of the machine contribute to productivity in the warehouse; it can move up to 7.5 miles per hour in drive direction and up to 76 feet per minute when lifting.

Awareness
With Jungheinrich forklifts Curve Control,a high-level order picker’s speed is reduced while turning corners for safety purposes. The electric order picker also has advanced visibility, giving operators the ability to see beneath the platform when working in a raised position. Additionally, the display panel on this machine shows key performance indicators and other important information to improve awareness.

Energy Efficiency
Jungheinrich boasts an industry-leading run time for their order pickers (an average of 16 hours on one battery charge). This allows for more efficiency, as there is less downtime created by having to recharge equipment.

Ergonomics
This electric order picker includes fold-up side gates to give operators easier access to pick and pull orders. Some other ergonomic features include the cushioned floor (to enhance operator stability), the control handle with a solid base (to provide a secure grip while moving loads), and electric power steering (to enable the operator to maneuver the truck without hassle).

Maintenance Costs
The Jungheinrich order picker has sealed components that help to protect it from dusty or wet conditions, which cuts down on maintenance costs. In addition, there is a high rate of order picking and a relatively low amount of energy consumption, which proves the machine’s cost effectiveness.

Despite the frantic energy of consumers and the media, when demand skyrockets, you can feel totally calm knowing that your machine is both reliable and efficient. You should feel confident that you will be able to replenish shelves and fulfill orders when everyone needs it most. For all of your equipment purchasing needs, contact us here at Darr Equipment.
