Powered picking trolley

An electric drive is integrated in the hub of the 5th wheel underneath the centre of the trolley. The patented drive unit assists moving, a high level of track precision and excellent manoeuvrability with minimal energy input. The trolley can be turned 360 degrees on the spot – even when loaded.

The unit runs on lithium-ion batteries. Wanzl offers two versions according to the desired operating time: a 10Ah or 20Ah version. The long-life batteries with integrated battery management system are considerably smaller and weigh less than the previous versions with lead gel. On request, a display integrated into the handle informs the order picker of the remaining operating time.

The electrical drive is operated via a multi-functional handle unit. The optional drawbar function can be moved up and down, and so can be adjusted to the right height to ensure ergonomic use. The speed can be pre-set to two basic levels. Within the two basic variants, the speed can be continuously regulated via a rocker switch.

The standard equipment includes the brake which is integrated into the electric drive for safe parking and immediate stopping in an emergency. The safety switch on the handle increases the safe handling for the order picker. If it is triggered, the direction of travel briefly changes automatically. The handle also has a horn and can be equipped with a blue headlight. The blue spot on the floor warns pedestrians of the approaching trolley.

The KT3 "drive" has been developed in a modular system design, thereby offering flexibility for future retrofitting and modification. Different sizes and a comprehensive range of accessories offer a high degree of variability and ensure flexibility in manual order picking. Customers can also choose to have the KT3 "drive" equipped with an additional battery. This then takes over the mobile electricity supply for customer peripherals such as monitors, scanners or pick-by-light accessories.
