Order picker. Novice and refresher.
RTITB accredited order picker (stock picker) training for narrow-aisle operations, for novice and experienced operators. Delivered at your premises.
RTITB accreditedRecognised certificationWhat is an order picker?
An order picker, also known as a stock picker, is a versatile lift truck designed for operating in narrow aisles and tight spaces. It can manoeuvre through confined spaces and make tight turns, making it ideal for high-density warehouse environments.
There are different types, including man-up order pickers, man-down order pickers and turret trucks. Man-up order pickers have an operator platform that raises and lowers to allow picking at high levels, while man-down order pickers have a low-level platform for quick access to lower-level items. Turret trucks operate in very narrow aisles and have a rotating mast that reaches products on both sides of the aisle.
Our training ensures that both novice and experienced operators are competent and confident in using the order picker safely and efficiently, to the standards set by RTITB. On successful completion, operators receive an RTITB certificate recognised by employers across the UK.
