We're proud that our EPH order picker was nominated for two awards in the prestigious International Forklift Truck of the Year (IFOY) competition. Our high-lifting EPH 125 was nominated in the Warehouse Truck of the Year category, while the innovative Driver Presence Sensor (DPS) feature, also present on the EPM, was nominated in the Special of the Year category.
Order picking is an intensive process, which can put strain on the truck operator. With their ergonomic designs, the EPM and EPH make picking easier for operators, leading to higher productivity in the warehouse. High visibility around the truck, especially through the ProVision mast, enhances safety and means the operator doesn't have to strain themselves to get a good view. The trucks' essential controls can be moved up and down, and backwards and forwards, so each operator can be comfortable, and a low step in height makes it easier when the operator is frequently entering and exiting the truck. A floor sensor which covers the whole cabin floor, rather than a 'dead man' foot switch, gives the operator free movement around the cabin during operation.
With the EPH high level order picker, you can reach previously unbeatable heights. The truck allows operators to pick from heights of up to 12.1 metres, getting them as close to the picking location as possible, as quickly as possible, and in the safest way possible. The EPH's 'little brother', the EPM, has been designed to reach picking heights of 9.85 metres - but offers the same ergonomic and comfortable design.
The trucks' good levels of visibility reduce the risks of accidents and damage. These factors, coupled with a modular design, a high availability of common parts, and high familiarilty for engineers, mean you can rely on these trucks to perform. An easy battery change-over system also makes it quicker to swap batteries when you need to.
