Haulotte is completing its vertical mast Star range with the 8 Picking, designed for order preparation, stock management and shelving operations in logistics and distribution centres.

The new Star 8 Picking rounds out the range with a working height of 7.95m, providing operators with easy access for daily picking tasks and designed for use on sensitive floors.

It is fitted with long-lasting, non-marking tyres and is equipped with a secure, drop-proof motorised picking tray, featuring removable side panels and a front-end guardrail, allowing goods to be lifted safely.

The picking tray supports loads up to 80kg and helps reduce muscle and joint strain during repetitive operations. For increased efficiency, the mast and the tray can be raised simultaneously.

With its compact width of 0.79m and tight turning radius, the model is easy to manoeuvre in narrow aisles and confined spaces. Once elevated - up to 5.95m - the side shift enables continued handling without repositioning the machine, improving productivity during picking operations.

Safety is central to the design of the range, with the model offering lambo doors on both sides, ensuring easy access to the platform, and opening sensors preventing elevation unless the doors are properly closed.

To improve awareness on site, the machine features an audible travel alarm and can be equipped with a Blue LED anti-collision spotlight for pedestrians. Operators benefit from intuitive and precise controls, including warning lights and an ergonomic joystick, providing smooth and proportional movements.

Designed for almost no maintenance, the Star 8 Picking features a cable- and chain-free mast, reducing wear and maintenance operations. Access to components is simplified thanks to swing-out trays.

The machine is powered by maintenance-free AC (asynchronous) electric motors, while Haulotte’s Activ’Screen on-board diagnostic system provides real-time access to key machine data, fault codes and maintenance alerts.
