Order picking is an intensive application that is found in most large warehouses, production sites or e-commerce facilities. Toyota offers a wide range of forklifts 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 order pickers have been designed with comfort, safety and performance in mind.
When picking smaller, lightweight items in a parts centre or e-commerce facility, a compact and manoeuvrable order picking truck is the right choice. The Toyota BT Optio N-series is ideal to support order pickers throughout the day because they are easy to operate and easy to connect to all kinds of trolleys.
