Reduces personal risk
23 January 2014
New technology QuickPick Remote uses wireless control so that operators no longer have to return to the truck’s operator platform. Instead, they can move Crown’s GPC 3000 Series order pickers forward at the touch of a button, while keeping both hands free.
Field tests of QuickPick Remote showed that productivity between the first and last pick of the day increased by 10% on average with gains within the aisle up to 25%.
Operators spend up to 50% less time walking, thereby cutting in half the distance they must carry a load. Climbing on/off the operator platform is also reduced by up to 70%, meaning that operators can get more done, with greater economy of motion and less personal risk.
