High performance and efficiency

Order pickers are used intensively, often in 2 to 3-shift operations. Lithium-ion battery technology is highly suitable as it is easier and faster to charge than lead-acid batteries and allows for opportunity charging. This eliminates the need to change batteries during the day, maximising overall productivity rates.


When working in low-temperature areas, it’s advised to keep the trucks in the cold as long as possible to avoid any condensation. Toyota order pickers are available with a heated Li-ion battery option that allows charging in cold environments for more productivity and less condensation issues.

Benefits of order picking trucks  

Order picking trucks are essential for efficient and accurate order fulfillment in warehouses and distribution centres. Designed to lift operators to various heights, these trucks streamline the picking process and improve productivity. Main benefits of order picking trucks are: 

  • Efficient picking: Operators can access goods stored at multiple levels, reducing time and effort spent walking and reaching. 
  • High accuracy: Designed for optimal visibility and control, order pickers help reduce picking errors. 
  • Ergonomic operation: Comfortable platforms and intuitive controls reduce operator fatigue and increase safety. 
  • Space optimisation: Ideal for narrow aisle applications, order pickers allow for higher storage density. 
  • Energy efficient: Available with Li-ion battery technology, order pickers can be charged during breaks for longer operating times. 

Applications of an order picking truck 

Order picking trucks are widely used across various industries due to their efficiency and adaptability. In e-commerce fulfilment centres, they play a crucial role in enabling fast and accurate picking of individual items, which is essential for meeting the demands of online shoppers. Retail warehouses rely on these trucks to manage high volumes of stock-keeping units (SKUs) and to facilitate frequent restocking. In pharmaceutical and medical supply facilities, order picking trucks support operations where precision and hygiene are critical. Automotive parts distribution centres use them to manage the picking of small, varied components. Additionally, cold storage environments benefit from specialised models that are designed to perform reliably in low temperatures.
