BHS, Inc., a St. Louis-based manufacturer of custom material handling equipment, has announced the release of a new line of modular attachments for order picker trucks. The four product series—Modular Order Picker Carts, Modular Order Picker Platforms, Order Picker Furniture Carts, and Order Picker Furniture Platforms—are designed to optimize task-based picking in warehouses with narrow-aisle racking systems.
According to Trent Boothe, Technical Sales Manager at BHS, the growth of narrow-aisle racking has increased reliance on order picker trucks. “Our goal is to make those trucks safer, more productive, and flexible enough to handle anything,” Boothe said. The new attachments aim to address these needs by providing customizable, modular components that can be adjusted with standard tools.
The Modular Order Picker Carts feature heavy-duty casters, allowing them to double as pushcarts for ground-level inventory management, while the Modular Order Picker Platforms omit casters and function solely as attachments for order picker trucks. The furniture variants are sized to fit the longer forks of furniture order picker trucks. All solutions are custom-sized to eliminate gaps or offsets between the platform and the truck's operator deck, reducing tripping hazards—a safety risk sometimes associated with such attachments.
A key advantage of these products is their modularity. Users can adjust shelf spacing, remove shelves entirely, or add rails and guarding to create an ideal work platform. These bolt-on components are easy to attach or remove with standard workplace tools. Boothe emphasized that modular design allows these carts and platforms to act like custom equipment, but without the delays typical of made-to-order solutions. “Our modular solutions ship a lot faster than an all-original product. They give you custom performance without custom lead times,” he said.
The attachments are available now exclusively from BHS, Inc. For more information, visit https://www.bhs1.com.
