At Jofson, a leading provider of Mitsubishi forklifts in the Midlands, we recognise that various warehouse operations require distinct types of materials handling equipment. If your business relies on picking individual items from shelving or racking, especially at height, an order picker forklift might be precisely what you need.

But what is an order picker, and how do you know if it’s the right choice for your warehouse?

What Is an Order Picker Forklift?

An order picker is a specialist forklift designed for hand-picking individual items from warehouse racking. Unlike standard forklifts that move full pallets, order pickers allow the operator to rise with the platform to access specific goods, often stored several metres off the ground.

At Jofson, we supply Mitsubishi forklifts known for their reliability, safety features, and smooth handling, all backed by our expert service and support.

Key Benefits of Mitsubishi Order Pickers

Our Mitsubishi range offers key advantages for fast-paced picking operations:

  • Extended reach: Ideal for accessing high-level racking.
  • Compact and agile: Perfect for navigating narrow warehouse aisles.
  • Operator comfort: Ergonomic platforms reduce fatigue and improve safety.
  • Energy efficiency: Long run times without compromising performance.

Whether you’re working in retail, logistics, or parts distribution, order picker forklifts help boost picking accuracy and speed.

Are Order Pickers Right for Your Business?

You should consider an order picker if your operation involves:

  • Picking individual cartons, items, or SKUs
  • Accessing products stored above head height
  • Working in high-density or narrow-aisle warehouses
  • Maximising vertical space without expanding floor space

Many Midlands-based businesses choose Mitsubishi order pickers from Jofson to improve warehouse productivity while keeping operators safe and efficient.
