According to Cascade, using a layer picker a forklift operator can fill orders at an average speed of 1250 cases an hour, compared to 250 cases an hour manually.

Cascade's layer picker is available in four different models: The Swing model uses a guide rail system - it swings 90° to both sides of the truck, handling more SKUs in less space and picking from both sides of a line. It comes with a heavy-duty mast and carriage reinforced to withstand the stress of side loading.

The Stationary Carriage Mount requires no guide rail system or special mast; it is fixed in a front mounted position and typically used in operations where loads come in on a truck and need to be split up.

The Stationary Fork Mount conveniently slips on existing lift truck forks for quick installation and removal; and the Stationary Side Mount is used in applications with one sided pick lines.
