Rocla Rapid

The new low-level order picker from Rocla offers logistics centres and warehouses a fast and efficient vehicle for picking work.

Independent tests found the Rapid is 20% more efficient than others on the market. Petteri Masalin, Rocla's design director, explains that Rocla combined its understanding of customers' processes with innovative product development and design to produce this product. "Extensive user and warehouse environment studies at logistics centres were the starting point for Rapid's development."

The Rapid's driver space has grown by 40% without altering the size of the vehicle, which helps with the flow of picking work.

According to Rocla, the Rapid has the biggest operator platform in the market. It has bevelled corners, sturdy ergonomic handles and its low step-up height makes it easy to access.

The intelligent floor detects the driver's presence automatically. The vehicle is capable of being driven in several different positions and is able to take off instantly once the driver mounts the vehicle, which makes driving between picking locations faster.

Rocla's steering wheel design is inspired by the gaming world. "Picking work is done largely by the younger generation who has grown up playing computer games," says Masalin. "The new steering wheel resembles game controls, which makes it easy for inexperienced drivers to use."

Drivers can operate the steering wheel in different ways and it can be operated with one hand. Its position and height can be adjusted for different drivers. The vehicle can be adjusted to individual drivers' specific preference with a driver-specific PIN code.
