At Team Systems Australia, we stock a comprehensive range of order picking ladders designed to help warehouse and stockroom workers safely and efficiently access shelving, racking, and storage systems at height. Whether you're working in a busy distribution centre, a retail stockroom, or a manufacturing facility, our order picking ladders are built to keep your team productive and safe.
Order Picking Ladder Industrial Uses
Order picking ladders are an essential piece of equipment in any warehouse or storage environment. They are commonly used in distribution centres, supermarket stockrooms, hardware stores, pharmaceutical warehouses, and manufacturing facilities. Their design allows workers to move quickly and safely between picking locations, making them ideal for high-volume order fulfilment operations.
Things to Consider When Choosing an Order Picking Ladder
Before selecting an order picking ladder for your workplace, there are a few important factors to keep in mind.
Firstly, consider the height of your shelving or racking. Choose a ladder that allows your workers to comfortably and safely reach the highest pick locations without overreaching.
Secondly, think about the load rating. Ensure the ladder you select is rated to safely support the combined weight of the user and any items being handled during the picking process.
Finally, consider mobility. Many order picking ladders feature castors for easy movement between locations, which can significantly improve efficiency in large warehouse environments.
Important Features of Our Order Picking Ladders
Our order picking ladders are designed with both safety and productivity in mind. Key features include a robust aluminium construction for a lightweight yet strong build, non-slip steps for secure footing at height, a 150kg load rating suitable for most industrial applications, and smooth-rolling castors for easy repositioning throughout your facility.
Precautions You Can Take When Using Order Picking Ladders
As with all access equipment, safety is paramount when using order picking ladders. Below are some important precautions to follow in your workplace.
- Always check that the combined weight of the user and any items being carried does not exceed the ladder's load rating before use.
- Ensure the ladder is positioned on a flat, stable surface before climbing. Do not use on uneven or slippery floors.
- Always maintain 3 points of contact with the ladder when climbing or descending.
- Do not overreach while on the ladder — reposition the ladder instead of stretching to the side.
- Inspect the ladder before each use for any signs of damage, loose components, or worn non-slip treads. Remove any damaged ladders from service immediately.
- Ensure castors are locked before climbing if your ladder is fitted with a locking castor mechanism.
