Is a used order picker forklift right for you operation?

Also called a stock picker, an order picker is a narrow aisle forklift truck with a lifting platform on which the operator rides.

Order pickers are meant to be used within aisle racking. A pallet is placed on the forks and the operator uses the order picker to lift themselves next to the racking, grab products in the racking and place them on the pallet.

Order pickers are mainly used in warehouses with pallet racking.

They are not meant for use on loading docks, within enclosed trailers or outdoors.

Lead-acid battery technology has been around for a long time! Lead-acid batteries were invented in 1859 and were the first rechargeable batteries for commercial use.

Lead-acid batteries are still used in most forklifts sold today because of there reliability, ease of use, simple maintenance, and easy charging.

How long a lead-acid battery will last depends on a few important factors.
First is the manufacturer. Some battery manufacturers are better than others so it’s worth doing some research about the battery in the forklift you’re looking to buy.

Secondly, and more importantly is how a lead-acid battery is maintained. Keeping lead-acid batteries clean, maintaining electrolyte levels, and proper charging extend the life of the battery.

How a forklift battery is used changes how long it will last. Batteries used in a clean environment with constant temperatures that aren’t too hot or cold last longer.

Overall, lead-acid batteries should give the user 1500 to 2000 charge cycles depending on maintenance.

Replacing a lead-acid battery is a fairly easy process. The battery can be extracted and a new or used replacement battery can be installed. The old battery can be taken away by a service provider for recyling.

A lead-acid forklift battery should always be matched with the correct charger. The correct charger will have the correct voltage and current output for the battery your are charging.

All of Machine Maxx USA’s order picker forklifts listings will show two charger options, one single phase input and one three phase input, that match the forklift for sale.
