As warehouse operations continue to grow, order picking becomes faster-paced and more demanding. Higher order volumes, longer shifts, and tighter deadlines place increased pressure on equipment, people, and space. Lithium-ion powered order pickers help warehouses meet these challenges by improving efficiency, uptime, and safety.
Maximise Truck Availability and Reduce Downtime
Lithium-ion powered order pickers allow for opportunity charging during breaks or shift changes, keeping trucks on the floor for longer. Unlike traditional lead-acid batteries, there is no need for lengthy charging cycles or battery swaps. This significantly reduces downtime, maintains consistent pick rates, and ensures operations keep pace with peak demand.
Improved truck availability can also enable fleet reductions while maintaining the same output, helping to lower both capital and operating costs.
Maintain Consistent Performance Across All Shifts
With regular short top-up charges, lithium-ion batteries deliver consistent power from the beginning of the shift to the end. Trucks maintain full travel speed and lifting performance throughout the day, allowing operators to work at a steady, predictable pace. This consistency supports higher productivity across first- and second-level picking operations.
Lower Maintenance and Improve Safety
Lithium-ion powered order pickers are virtually maintenance-free. There is no battery watering, no battery swapping, and no heavy manual handling. This saves valuable time for operators and maintenance teams while reducing the risk of workplace injuries – creating a safer, more efficient warehouse environment.
Lithium-Ion Powered Order Pickers Free Up Valuable Warehouse Space
Traditional lead-acid batteries require dedicated charging rooms, consuming valuable floor space. Lithium-ion charging stations can be strategically located near rest and break areas, allowing operators to top up batteries without disrupting picking routes. This approach frees up warehouse space for storage, picking, or production areas and helps optimise overall workflow.
