Envision this: your warehouse floor is buzzing with activity, yet your order pickers are stuck in a pattern of inefficiency. Team members move endless miles through narrow aisles, climb up and down ladders again and again, and struggle with cumbersome equipment that wasn’t even designed for today's high-density storage settings. Stock chasers provide a targeted solution to these operational challenges, transforming how your team gets around, picks, and transports materials in space-constrained facilities.
What Exactly Is a Stock Chaser?
A stock chaser is a small, stand-up electric vehicle designed for order picking and material transfer in narrow aisles. Different from traditional forklifts that demand wide turning radii and substantial aisle space, these agile vehicles maneuver through spaces as tight as conventional doorways while maintaining substantial payload capacities.
Addressing Your Operational Challenges
Narrow Aisle Navigation Made Simple
Contemporary warehouses increasingly adopt a narrow aisle approach to optimize storage density, with some facilities featuring aisles as narrow as 8–10 feet. Stock chasers excel in these environments, allowing operators to navigate efficiently without the spatial constraints that restrict traditional material handling equipment.
Ergonomic Design Reduces Worker Fatigue
The upright operator platform lessens the physical strain involved in constant getting on and off with sit-down equipment. Integrated ladders provide safe access to high shelving, removing the need for separate ladder fetching and setup. This all-in-one design dramatically cuts down on the time and effort required for above-shoulder picking tasks.
Enhanced Productivity Through Speed and Agility
With speeds of up to 8 mph and excellent turning capability, stock chasers make possible faster order completion compared to manual travel or using bulky alternatives. The small footprint allows operators to turn on a dime, minimizing travel time between pick locations and allowing for more efficient route planning.
Real-World Applications and Benefits
Improved Order Picking Efficiency
Order picking represents over 50% of average warehouse labor hours and nearly 55% of operating expenses. Stock chasers tackle this problem by offering a platform that accompanies the picker, removing unnecessary walking. Ample cargo decks offer room for numerous orders or large items while maintaining stability in transit.
Cost-Effective Alternative to Traditional Equipment
While reach trucks and VNA lift trucks serve important functions in high-lift tasks, stock chasers offer a budget-friendly approach for ground-level and low-elevation picking activities. Their low purchase price, reduced maintenance requirements due to simpler systems, and minimal operator training make them an attractive option for operations looking for a quick productivity boost.
Integration with Modern Warehouse Operations
Stock chasers complement existing warehouse management systems and can fit into various picking strategies. Whether you use batch, wave, or zone picking, these vehicles adapt to enable efficient workflow patterns. Their compact size allows several units to work together at once without the traffic congestion challenges typical of larger machines.
Making the Implementation Decision
When considering stock chasers for your operation, factor in your existing pain points with order picking efficiency, aisle width constraints, and worker ergonomics. These vehicles are especially valuable for facilities with high-frequency picking operations, multiple SKUs requiring regular access, and space limitations that prevent the use of larger material handling equipment.
The Motrec stock chasers available through Raymond West offer proven durability and capability, with payloads from 500–2,000 lbs and the ability to tow up to 12,000 lbs. This range of options makes them well-suited for diverse jobs that go beyond picking, including parts transport, service work, and manufacturing plant applications.
