Johannesburg, South Africa - Goscor Lift Truck Company, Crown lift truck distributor in Southern Africa, announced the launch of a new range low level order pickers.

Crown´s engineers designed the GPC 3000 series low-level order pickers after a thorough analysis of the order picking process. The analysis done by Crown's experts showed that up to 90 percent of the time performing tasks (walking, picking, loading, labeling, counting and wrapping) during the picking cycle take place off the truck. Crown focused on improving a number of features aimed at reducing and simplifying the operators´ movement while performing "off-truck" tasks with the ultimate goal of achieving 100% efficiency during all picking tasks.

This resulted in the production of a low level order picker series that makes picking faster and easier. The GPC 3000 Series range from an economic entry-level model with a 2000 kg load capacity to a full-featured 2700 kg load capacity order picker. The Series comes with a lot of optional extras and choices ranging from a range of fork lengths to choose from, different battery compartment sizes and optional features. This low level order picker range also includes models capable of lifting one or two pallets and an option for platform lift for second level order picking.

"The GPC 3000 series offers a wide variety to choose from making this series suitable for all types of order picking applications" says Darryl Shafto, MD Goscor Lift Truck Company. He continued to say that Crown´s innovative design, advanced technology and robust construction ensured enhanced operator productivity and safety backed by durable equipment manufactured in Germany.

Crown´s new low level order pickers offer the following features that will enhance operator productivity:
· Work AssistTM accessory program: a flexible system of features designed to enhance convenience and safety. The extensive selection includes a clip pad, scan-gun holder, trash bag holder and stretch foil holder, as well as a number of load trays and storage pouches for additional items and personal effects.
· Pick Position ControlTM system enables the operator to move the truck to the next location (if the picking location is close by) without having to get on board, eliminating the extra steps and delays needed to enter and exit the driver´s platform. The switch in the backrest is easy to reach from the outside and applies controlled braking when released so the truck is perfectly positioned for loading.
· X10® control handle - this ergonomic control handle can be operated from the side of the truck via a thumb switch speeding the picking process.
· Fold-down step - a safe and cost-effective method of reaching tall loads or goods stored up to a height of two metres. This helps the operator to pick rapidly and efficiently as well as allowing for greater cube utilisation within the warehouse.

"Productivity can be further improved by choosing the right truck for the application from the GPC 3000 Series." Says Shafto. "For frequent mid-level picking tasks, Crown offers a platform lift option while for heavy or bulky products the single or double length lifting fork models position the forks at the right height to prevent the operator from having to lift and bend unnecessarily. All models have been designed with ergonomic, efficient and safe operation as their priority."
