Electric Order Pickers
Class II piece-picking, factory-direct for export
Electric order pickers let an operator ride up with the load to pick individual cases and items straight from racking — the backbone of e-commerce and distribution fulfilment. ForkliftIQ ships them factory-direct from verified Chinese suppliers, CE/UL/ISO 9001 certified, with OEM/ODM and FOB/CIF terms.

An electric order picker is a Class II warehouse truck on which the operator platform rises together with the forks, letting a worker pick individual cases or items directly from racking at low, mid, or high levels. Built for e-commerce and distribution piece-picking, it is battery-powered, narrow-aisle friendly, and rack-height capable.
What is an electric order picker?
An order picker is a Class II electric warehouse truck where the operator stands on a platform that rises together with the forks. Instead of moving full pallets, the picker brings the operator up to the goods so they can pick individual cases, cartons, or items directly from racking — the core motion in piece-picking and split-case fulfilment.
They are grouped by reach: low-level pickers work the first one or two beam levels at high speed, mid-level units extend the working range, and high-level pickers travel up tall racking, often with rail or wire guidance for narrow-aisle accuracy. Lithium or lead-acid power and confirmed CE certification come standard; exact platform height, capacity, and aisle width vary by model — contact us for spec sheets.
How to choose the right order picker
Start with pick height and rack profile. If most picks sit in the lower beams, a low-level picker maximises throughput; if you pick from upper levels, you need a mid- or high-level unit matched to your maximum rack height and aisle width. Confirm clear aisle dimensions and whether guidance (rail or wire) is required before specifying.
Then weigh duty cycle and power. Multi-shift e-commerce operations usually favour lithium (LiFePO4) for opportunity charging and near-zero maintenance, while lighter single-shift sites may run lead-acid. Match rated capacity to your heaviest typical pick, factor in pallet/tote handling, and add safety items such as platform gates and load backrests. Send us your aisle, height, and SKU profile and we will recommend a configuration and quote.
Why buy order pickers factory-direct
Buying direct from verified factories removes layers of distributor markup, so importers and distributors get genuine factory pricing on units and on the parts that keep them running. ForkliftIQ works with established Chinese suppliers and a 85,000-SKU parts network, giving you one accountable contact for both equipment and spares.
Every order picker is built to recognised standards — CE, UL, ISO 9001, with SGS and TÜV testing available — and OEM/ODM options cover voltage, mast, platform, color, and branding for your market. Typical lead time is roughly 4-6 weeks on FOB or CIF terms. We quote honestly from confirmed specs and flag anything that needs factory confirmation rather than guessing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an order picker and a reach truck?
A reach truck moves and stores whole pallets and keeps the operator at floor level. An order picker raises the operator on a platform with the forks so they can pick individual cases or items from racking. Pickers are for piece-picking; reach trucks are for pallet handling.
What lift height and capacity can your order pickers reach?
We supply low-, mid-, and high-level pickers covering ground-level beams up through tall racking. Exact platform height, rated capacity, and aisle width depend on the model and supplier, so we don't publish a single figure — send us your rack height and aisle width and we'll match a spec and quote.
Are the order pickers certified for import?
Yes. Units are built to CE and UL standards with ISO 9001 quality systems, and SGS or TÜV testing is available on request. We provide the certificates and documentation importers and distributors need for customs clearance in their market.
What are the typical MOQ, lead time, and shipping terms?
Order pickers ship factory-direct on FOB or CIF terms with a typical lead time of about 4-6 weeks, depending on configuration and OEM/ODM requirements. Contact us with your destination port and quantity for current MOQ and a landed-cost quote.
