Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks has added a medium-level order picker to its range of warehouse solutions.
A Mitsubishi spokesperson said the OPBM10K, powered by a 24V battery, with a load capacity of 1000kg and a maximum picking height of 6.5 metres, would complete the company’s line of order pickers.
"It is a completely new truck that has been developed to meet a demand for them by customers in Africa, Europe, the Middle East and other countries," she said.
She said medium-level order pickers were suitable for goods that were bulky but not too heavy, for example, automotive parts.
The OPBM10K has an ergonomic steering console, seat and backrest designed to minimise operator fatigue. Its 360 degree steering enables it to be manoeuvred easily in confined spaces.
The operator can also enter and exit the forklift quickly because of its light side gates and low step. Meanwhile, its thin wall and adjustable fork height enable the operator to easily reach pallets or picking cages from the cab.
Mitsubishi’s order pickers are split into three categories – low-level, medium-level and high-level.
The low-level order pickers, which are for high frequency order picking have a picking height of up to 3.5 metres while the high-level order picking, which are for low frequency orders have a picking height of up to 9.5 metres.
