SINOLIFT is highlighting the MHA10 electric order picker as a solution for warehouses that need operators to retrieve goods directly from multiple rack levels. Combining a 1 ton capacity with a man-up operating design, the MHA10 brings electric travel, controlled lifting and operator access together for medium-level order picking.

The focus is on the complete warehouse picking task: moving between storage locations, reaching the required shelf, positioning the working load and preparing an order. The MHA10 addresses these connected steps with proportional lift control, an auxiliary lifting function and protection features for elevated operation.

Duplex and triplex mast configurations give customers different combinations of reach and retracted height. Depending on the selected mast, listed maximum picking heights range from 4600 mm to 7600 mm. This gives distribution centers, retail warehouses and parts operations a basis for matching equipment to their storage layout.

Background: Connecting Shelf Access with Order Preparation

Warehouse order preparation often involves selecting cartons, components or individual goods from several storage levels. The operator must move along an aisle, identify the correct location and bring the goods into a manageable working position. Reach, visibility and movement control all influence that process.

Medium-level order picking places particular demands on equipment because the operator works above floor level while handling inventory. A suitable truck must coordinate travel, vertical positioning and load support, with controls that remain convenient throughout repeated picking cycles.

The SINOLIFT MHA10 addresses this workflow through an elevated operator position, a reinforced mast and platform, and controls designed for frequent use. Its role is to support access to stored goods and order preparation within an indoor warehouse environment.

Main Development: Coordinating Travel, Lift and Positioning

The MHA10 has a rated load capacity of 1000 kg at a specified 500 mm load center. The MHA10L identifies the duplex mast version, while the MHA10S identifies the triplex mast version. Both configurations combine electric power with a man-up order-picking format.

Proportional lifting and lowering control supports gradual acceleration and deceleration when positioning beside shelving. For an operator approaching a picking location, smoother starts and stops can make the final adjustment easier to manage. The ergonomic multifunction handle and thumb switch place commonly used functions within convenient reach.

A 670 mm auxiliary lifting function adds a further adjustment to the handling sequence. It supports a more convenient working position and can help reduce repeated bending or squatting during picking. This is particularly relevant when operators collect several items before completing an order.

The electric system combines a 2.5 kW AC drive motor and a 3.2 kW DC lift motor. Travel speed is listed at 6 km/h both laden and unladen, with high-position travel speed limitation governing elevated operation. Regenerative and electromagnetic braking form part of the travel braking arrangement.

Operator protection includes guardrail position detection, operator presence detection, electric lifting limits, turning speed limitation and safety belt protection. High lifting and traveling functions depend on the required safety conditions being met. These controls support the relationship between operator position, truck movement and working height.

Mast Selection: Matching Reach with Building Clearance

The MHA10L duplex range includes the 30L, 35L, 40L and 45L mast options. Their listed maximum picking heights are 4600 mm, 5100 mm, 5600 mm and 6100 mm respectively. The MHA10S triplex range extends from the 40S through 60S options, offering maximum picking heights from 5600 mm to 7600 mm.

The 60S configuration illustrates why the different height measures matter. Its mast lifting height is 5760 mm, its maximum lifting height including the 670 mm auxiliary lift is 6430 mm, and its listed maximum picking height is 7600 mm. Picking reach and lifting height therefore describe different aspects of the same configuration.

Building access must also be considered. The 40L and 40S options both provide a listed 5600 mm picking height, but their retracted mast heights are 2850 mm and 2149 mm respectively. This difference can affect equipment selection where doorways or overhead restrictions influence the route through a facility.

Key Highlights

Customer and Industry Value

For distribution centers and e-commerce fulfillment operations, the MHA10 provides a way to coordinate travel and access to goods stored at different heights. The man-up design brings the operator closer to the picking location, while auxiliary lift adjustment supports the handling position during order assembly.

Parts and components warehouses can assess the same approach for automotive parts, electronic components and machinery inventory. Retail warehouses can consider it for preparing replenishment orders from multi-level racks. In each case, the relevant benefit is matching the truck to the inventory layout and the actual sequence of picking tasks.

Aisle planning remains specific to the site. The truck has an overall width of 1150 mm and a listed turning radius of 1625 mm. Guide arrangements, pallet size, main aisle access and operating clearances must be reviewed together when deciding how the machine will work within the racking layout.

Significance for SINOLIFT

The MHA10 highlights SINOLIFT's attention to warehouse workflows that involve both transporting goods and giving operators access to elevated storage. The combination of mast choice, proportional controls and auxiliary lifting connects equipment selection with the physical task of picking an order.

Service access is also part of that approach. A flip-open battery cover provides access for routine inspection, and the removable drive housing supports regular servicing. The standard battery specification is 24 V / 400 Ah, with an optional 24 V / 300 Ah lithium battery configuration for customers reviewing their power requirements.

Future Outlook: Planning Around the Warehouse

For customers considering an electric order picker, the next step is to compare required picking heights with mast clearance, aisle dimensions, load characteristics and working patterns. These details help determine which MHA10 configuration should be evaluated for the facility.

Further discussions with SINOLIFT can address mast selection, cab configuration, battery requirements and warehouse-specific operating needs. This keeps future equipment decisions focused on shelf access, operator movement and practical integration into daily warehouse picking.

Why It Matters

1. 1

   Access to multiple rack levels. Mast options support medium-level order picking with configuration-specific reach up to 7.6 m.

2. 2

   Attention to working posture. Auxiliary lifting and convenient controls help operators manage repeated picking tasks.

3. 3

   Coordinated movement protection. Detection functions and speed limitations address the demands of elevated warehouse work.

4. 4

   A clear configuration process. Capacity, reach, clearance and battery requirements can be assessed against the site's actual needs.
