Order pickers
Order picking is a labour-intensive process that is found in most large warehouses, on production sites or at e-commerce facilities. Toyota offers a wide range of trucks to assist with order picking, from ground level all the way up to 12.1 m picking height. To ensure safe and ergonomic working conditions for the operators, all Toyota Optio order pickers have been designed with comfort, safety and performance in mind.

The Toyota order pickers come with innovative features to ensure a high level of productivity and to support the operator by providing excellent comfort and safety.
Optimal product fit thanks to a wide range of configurations
The order picker range of Toyota comes in many variations to best serve the type of load and the area it needs to operate in. A few features:
- Different fork lengths for both pallet & roller cage handling
- Scissor forks to lift the forks to a comfortable working position (max lift height 800 mm)
- Platform lift on low level order pickers to elevate the operator about 1.2 m above the floor. It is equipped with a foot switch for hands-free lowering.
- High level picking models with 10.5 m platform height
- Mast model to use as order picker and stacker
- Walkthrough models to handle bulky or large loads
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.

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.
