Electric stock chasers · Built for order picking
Stock chasers that cut the walk out of the pick
A stock chaser is an electric order picking vehicle with shelving on board, so pickers accumulate a full wave instead of walking back after every line. 350 lb payload, 15 mph, two 36V swappable batteries included, zero-degree turning.

What a stock chaser actually is
A stock chaser is an electric order picking vehicle — a burden carrier configured with shelving so a picker can accumulate items across a route instead of returning to a staging point after every line. The chassis is general-purpose; the shelving is what makes it a stock chaser.
That distinction matters when you are buying. If your job is transport, a plain deck is cheaper. If your job is picking, the shelving pays for itself in the trips you stop making. A picker walking back to a cart after every line is the single most common source of lost pick time in a piece-pick operation.
Where we sit in the category: the most versatile lightweight stock chaser on the market, with the tightest turn radius on the market. Zero-degree turning means it pivots in place at the end of a rack row instead of backing up and re-approaching, and the light chassis means it fits aisles and mezzanine floors that heavier burden carriers are spec'd out of. Two platform sizes, two or three shelving tiers, and a flat-deck option come off the same vehicle — so one platform covers picking, replenishment, and transport instead of forcing three separate purchases. The design is patent pending.
Where pick time goes
Travel is 50% of a picker's shift, and none of it is picking
In piece-pick operations, walking between locations routinely consumes half the shift. A stock chaser attacks travel time directly, and the shelving removes the return trips that a plain deck still forces.
| Method | Travel speed | Lines per trip | Return trips | Best use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Walk and carry | 3 mph | 1–2 | Every line | Very short pick paths |
| Manual pick cart | 2–3 mph | Full cart | Per wave | Dense, short zones |
| Burden carrier (flat deck) | 15 mph | Deck capacity | When deck fills | Transport, not picking |
| Forklift | 8 mph | Pallet | Per pallet | Full-pallet picks |
| Stock chaser | 15 mph | Multi-tier, multi-tote | Per wave | Piece and case picking at distance |

Common questions
Before you spec one
What is the difference between a stock chaser and a burden carrier?
Same class of vehicle, different configuration. A stock chaser is a burden carrier fitted with shelving or bins for order picking. Burden carriers are the broader category and cover general material and personnel transport.
How much shelving do I need?
Match tiers to your average lines per wave and your tote size. Two tiers suits most piece-pick operations; three suits high-line-count waves with small items. Over-speccing shelving raises the center of gravity and makes the vehicle harder to load.
How do I size one for my facility?
Start with your pick path length and lines per wave, not payload. If your average pick weighs a few pounds and your path runs several hundred feet, travel time and tote capacity are your constraints. Platform size is the other lever: a 20"×20" platform threads tight aisles and mezzanines, a 35"×35" platform carries a wider tote footprint.
Can it run in cold storage?
Yes, with planning. Battery capacity drops in freezer environments, so derate expected runtime and plan your swaps around it — both included packs help here. Condensation on the freezer-to-dock cycle is the other thing to manage.
How long does the battery last on a charge?
Three to five hours per pack, depending on load, grade, and duty cycle. Every unit ships with two UL-rated 36V packs, so one charges while the other runs — six to ten hours of ride time a day without parking the vehicle on a charger.
Where is the stock chaser made?
Designed and assembled in the USA through an ISO 9001:2015 certified domestic supplier network. That keeps replacement parts stocked in the US and lets a common wear part ship overnight rather than sit in a container. The design is patent pending.
What training do operators need?
Powered industrial truck training requirements depend on the vehicle class and your facility's own policy, which often goes beyond the federal minimum. Confirm the specific requirement with your safety manager before deployment.
