BHS, Inc., a leading manufacturer of custom material handling equipment, has announced the release of a new line of attachments for order picker trucks. The solutions feature modular components that allow for task-based optimization, addressing the growing demand for versatile equipment in narrow-aisle warehouses.
Currently, four product series are available: Modular Order Picker Carts, which are outfitted with heavy-duty casters to double as pushcarts for ground-level inventory management; Modular Order Picker Platforms, which omit casters and function solely as attachments for order picker trucks; and Order Picker Furniture Carts and Order Picker Furniture Platforms, sized to fit the longer forks of furniture order picker trucks.
“With the growth in narrow-aisle racking, more warehouses are relying on order picker trucks,” said Trent Boothe, Technical Sales Manager at BHS. “Our goal is to make those trucks safer, more productive, and flexible enough to handle anything.”
These BHS solutions are custom-sized to avoid any gaps or offsets between the platform and the truck’s operator deck, a design innovation that eliminates tripping hazards—an unacceptable safety risk sometimes associated with order picker truck attachments. The biggest advantage, however, is their modularity. Users can adjust shelf spacing, remove shelves entirely, or add rails and guarding to create the ideal work platform. These bolt-on components are easy to attach or remove with standard workplace tools.
Modular design allows these carts and platforms to act like custom equipment, but without the delays associated with made-to-order solutions. “We specialize in designing custom equipment, but it takes time to design something from scratch,” Boothe said. “Our modular solutions ship a lot faster than an all-original product. They give you custom performance without custom lead times.”
The new attachments are available now, only from BHS, Inc. For more information, visit BHS, Inc..
