The straddle Stacker was delivered as agreed and it was everything which we discussed. I would highly recommend this company and dealing with Hayley Maxwell.”

“We were looking for a new forklift for our new warehouse. I rang for some advice and spoke to Barry, who was really helpful. I ended up driving down with our team to see a new truck and purchased on finance. Got good advice from Alex and the warranty is much better than previous trucks we have bought.”
David Scotland
“We decided to stop by Trucks Direct one day when we were out on a delivery and Chris was kind enough to spend some time with us to discuss our needs and show up the most appropriate truck. We ended up buying a new Greenpower machine and are over the moon with it.”

“Absolute 5 star service! Had an issue with a forklift, Brady was able to expertly diagnose the issue over the phone. Lee then arrived the following morning to rectify the fault. Both their professionalism and knowledge was second to none and they truly are a credit to the business. Nothing was too much trouble.”

Order pickers rental at Trucks Direct UK start at a cost of just £34.50 per week. This specialised type of Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) truck is ideal for piece-picking. With on-the-spot pivot functionality and enhanced manoeuvrability, an order picker can boost your operational efficiency with ease. So, could our order pickers for hire be right for you?
Order pickers blend the functions of a vehicle and an elevator. So your operators can reach singular items quickly, without booting up a robust machine. Designed primarily for indoor use, order pickers are a VNA solution engineered to fit between aisles as narrow as 1.6m. Not to mention, with an electric model, you can opportunity-charge to keep your workflow moving and minimise downtime. But what about lift height?
Whether you need low, mid, or high-level order pickers for hire, we are here. With maximum lift heights from 3m to over 14m, you will discover something suitable for your workspace.
Are you unsure which type of order picker is best for you? Low-level is ideal for ground-level picking. Mid-level is capable of second-level item retrieval. Lastly, high-level order pickers are perfect for reaching high warehouse racking safely.
So, contact us now if you are interested in our order pickers for hire, using the contact form on this page. Our team will assess your enquiry and respond with all the information you need.

Trucks Direct UK supplies order pickers for hire from top brands, including MiMa, GreenPower and EP. Each model presents unique features to suit your purposes perfectly, including automatic deceleration, intuitive controls, and adjustable picking platforms.
Before any order picker leaves our warehouse, our certified technicians perform thorough LOLER examinations. We do this to provide total peace of mind and ensure your order picker is ready for action the moment we unload it from our lorry.
We strive to fulfil orders within a week of the enquiry and deliver nationwide. So, you will not have to wait long to bridge the gap.

As an employer, it is your responsibility to: Arrange the right forklift insurance. Ensure you train your drivers properly. Keep your equipment up to code at all times. Hiring or purchasing a forklift is a game-changer for business productivity. However,...
Trucks Direct UK supplies harnesses, lanyards, safety gates and dead-man switches for mid and high-level order picker hire. These are standard safety accessories that keep your operators protected from falls from height and accidents while using the order picker.
Yes, but the certification you need depends on the type of order picker you operate. As of January 2026, the ABA updated the certification requirements, which may restrict your use of certain models. For low-level order pickers (lifting to 300mm), you must have an E0 certification. For mid and high-level order pickers, you need an E1 and E2 certification. But a new category (vertical stock pickers) now requires an SP1 certification, which did not exist in 2025.
If you have an E2 certificate, you are usually qualified to operate an E1 and E0 machine. However, if you only have an E0 certificate, you must undergo additional training. It is also important to note that an E2 certification does not automatically qualify you to operate an SP1 machine.
Standard order pickers for indoor use. They use small, hard wheels that are unsuitable for outdoor use. Additionally, they utilise rail and wire guidance systems, which require perfectly even flooring to function correctly. These guidance systems allow operators to move the order picker through very narrow aisles without risk of collision. This feature enables the operator to focus on retrieving items, eliminating the need to drive.
Order pickers have a general maximum load capacity of 450kg to 1,360kg. However, when operating the order picker, you must consider that the maximum load capacity includes the load and the operator. Similar to every other type of material handling equipment, the higher you raise the lift, the lower the load capacity becomes. Your order picker will have its specific load capacity clearly stated on its data plate to prevent confusion.
Trucks Direct UK offers hire payment durations of 36, 60, and 84 months. We understand the complexities of expenditure and the importance of consistent, predictable payments. For this reason, we allow you the flexibility you need to pay on your terms. For more information about short-term hire, contact us directly.
