Order Picker Platform Cages

The Order Picker Platform Cages are essential for safe and efficient material handling in various industrial settings. With a Safe Working Load of 1000kg and a load centre of 600mm, these cages are designed to handle substantial loads securely. The handrail height of 1000mm ensures added safety for operators during use. The platform is available in different unit weights—180kg for the FC2905 and 175kg for the FC2907 and FC2908 models—allowing you to choose the best option for your needs.

The fork pockets are sized at 140 x 65mm for the FC2905 and 140 x 60mm for the FC2907 and FC2908, with a consistent fork pocket centre of 560mm across all models. Finished with durable enamel paint, these cages are built to last, providing reliable performance for order-picking tasks. Whether you're managing a warehouse or a retail environment, these platform cages will enhance your operational efficiency and safety.

Order Picker Platform Cages: Enhancing Safety and Efficiency in Material Handling

In industrial environments, safety and efficiency are essential. Whether you’re running a busy warehouse or a retail distribution centre, the need for safe, effective material handling is vital. Order picker platform cages are the perfect solution for operators to safely access goods stored at high levels, making them an important piece of equipment for any operation that involves order picking.

What are Order Picker Platform Cages?

Order picker platform cages are constructed to be used with forklifts to lift operators to high shelves or mezzanine levels, allowing them to safely access or store items. These cages offer a secure working platform, allowing operators to complete order-picking tasks easily and without the risk of injury. The platform is raised and lowered using a forklift, making it an ideal tool for warehouses and retail environments where stock is stored on high racking systems.

Key Features of Order Picker Platform Cages

1. Safe Working Load (SWL): One of the most important features of an order picker platform cage is its Safe Working Load (SWL). These cages are designed to handle up to 1000kg, ensuring that even heavier loads can be lifted safely. This makes them suitable for a variety of tasks, from handling light items to larger, bulkier products. Operators can rely on the cage to hold significant weight, guaranteeing stability and security during use.
2. Load Centre: The load centre of these cages is 600mm, which means the platform is engineered to handle the load evenly, ensuring that goods are evenly distributed and minimising the risk of instability during lifting and lowering. This design feature improves safety for both the operator and the goods being transported.
3. Safety Handrails: Safety is a top priority in any workplace, and the inclusion of a 1000mm high handrail around the platform adds an extra layer of protection for operators. These handrails help prevent falls or accidents, ensuring that the operator remains safe while performing their tasks at height. The height of the handrail is ideal for preventing slips, falls, or accidental contact with overhead obstacles.
4. Multiple Models for Flexibility: The order picker platform cages are available in three models – FC2905, FC2907, and FC2908 – each with different weight options. The FC2905 Cage weighs 180kg, while the FC2907 and FC2908 weigh slightly less at 175kg. This variety allows businesses to select the most suitable cage for their particular requirements, depending on the size, weight, and type of goods being handled.
5. Fork Pocket Dimensions: The fork pockets on these cages are designed to fit standard forklifts, with the FC2905 model featuring fork pockets sized at 140mm x 65mm and the FC2907 and FC2908 models featuring fork pockets of 140mm x 60mm. The fork pocket centres are consistent across all models, measuring 560mm, guaranteeing that the cages can be easily, lifted, and moved by forklifts with standard fork sizes.
6. Durable Enamel Paint Finish: These cages are finished with a durable enamel paint, which provides a protective layer against corrosion and wear. The enamel finish ensures that the cage will withstand the rough handling often associated with industrial environments, extending its lifespan and preserving its reliability throughout its use.

Benefits of Using Order Picker Platform Cages

1. Improved Efficiency: By allowing operators to safely reach higher shelves, order picker platform cages minimise the time and effort required to retrieve goods. This leads to faster order picking and more efficient workflows in the warehouse or retail environment, therefore improving productivity and throughput.
2. Improved Safety: The handrails and secure platform design prevent falls and accidents, making the workplace safer for operators. By using the platform cages, you’re ensuring that your team is working in a safe environment, reducing the risk of injury from dangerous practices.
3. Versatility: The various models of order picker platform cages allow you to select the right option for your particular operational needs. Whether you require a heavier-duty platform for larger items or a lighter model for smaller tasks, the range of available options ensures that your needs are met.
4. Cost-Effective: Investing in order picker platform cages can minimise the need for other equipment, such as ladders or lifts, which can be more expensive to operate and maintain. With a lower cost compared to other access solutions, these cages provide a cost-effective way to improve material handling capabilities.
