High-level Order Picker
The Akuros high-level order picker is designed for warehouses where operators need direct access to cartons, components and individual items stored at elevated rack levels.
Its elevating operator platform combines powered travel and lifting, helping reduce repeated walking, ladder climbing and manual reaching during order fulfillment. The compact structure also supports efficient operation in narrow aisles and high-density storage layouts.
The correct configuration should be selected according to required platform height, maximum picking height, operator and goods weight, aisle width, rack layout, floor condition, picking frequency and daily working hours.
Unlike a reach truck, which is mainly used to move complete pallets, a high-level order picker raises the operator to the storage location for piece or carton picking.
Share your rack height, aisle width, goods size, picking frequency and shift requirements with Akuros before the final platform, battery and safety configuration is confirmed.
Integrated Technology for Safer High-Level Picking
Electric Travel, Lift and Safety Control System
The integrated electric control system coordinates travel, platform lifting, braking and safety functions for smooth high-level picking.
Responsive controls help operators approach rack positions accurately, while system monitoring and safety interlocks help reduce unintended movement during elevated operation.
Final functions may vary according to the selected model and safety configuration.
Battery System for High-Frequency Picking
The battery system should be matched to daily working hours, travel distance, platform lifting frequency and available charging time.
Short single-shift operations may use a standard battery configuration, while high-frequency or multi-shift warehouses may require increased capacity, opportunity charging, lithium technology or a replaceable battery system.
Battery type, voltage, capacity and charging method must be confirmed according to the selected order picker and actual duty cycle.
Higher Picking Productivity at Every Rack Level
Faster Vertical Order Picking
Powered platform lifting gives operators direct access to multiple rack levels, reducing the time spent climbing ladders or using separate access equipment.
Precise Rack Positioning
Responsive travel and lift controls help operators align the platform accurately with the required shelf position, improving picking consistency and reducing unnecessary repositioning.
Reduced Walking and Manual Climbing
Combining powered travel and elevated access helps reduce walking distance, repeated climbing and unnecessary material handling during high-frequency order fulfillment.
Eco-Performance
Energy-Efficient Electric Drive
The electric drive system provides smooth indoor travel and efficient energy use during repeated movement between warehouse picking locations.
Battery Capacity Matched to the Duty Cycle
Battery capacity can be selected according to shift length, travel distance, lifting frequency and charging availability to support more consistent daily operation.
Clean and Low-Maintenance Operation
Electric operation produces no local exhaust emissions at the point of use and reduces engine-related maintenance requirements in indoor warehouses.
Ergonomics and Operator Safety
The operator platform provides a stable working position for elevated picking, helping reduce unsafe ladder use and excessive reaching around high rack levels.
The mast and platform layout are designed to support clear visibility toward the aisle, rack locations and surrounding warehouse traffic during travel and picking.
Responsive controls, braking functions and available operator protection systems help reduce unintended movement and improve control during elevated operation.
