HELI OPSM-ii: A Practical Way to Make High-Level Picking Easier

07.07.2026 By Colleen

In most warehouses, it’s not always the biggest lifts that slow the day down. More often, it’s the smaller, repetitive tasks like picking stock/goods from high shelves, checking inventory, accessing parts, or carrying out light maintenance above shoulder height.

These jobs can be awkward, time-consuming and in some cases unsafe when teams are relying on ladders or manual handling. HELI’s OPSM-ii has been designed to make those everyday elevated tasks simpler, but most importantly, safer.

Compact, electric and easy to operate. The OPSM-ii is a light order-picking truck suited to warehouses, stockrooms, storage facilities and retail back-of-house environments. Allowing operators to work from a stable platform while moving through picking and access tasks with less physical strain.

 

Built for the everyday jobs

HELI’s OPSM-ii is designed for light-duty order-picking and elevated access, making it a useful addition to workplaces where staff regularly need to access stock stored at different heights.

Rather than climbing up and down ladders or moving between shelves with limited carrying space, operators can position themselves more securely and keep goods, tools or picked items close at hand. This can make a noticeable difference in facilities where these tasks are frequent.

It also allows businesses to maximise their space with high racking and narrow aisles that forklifts or employees may struggle to reach without it.

 

Compact enough for tight spaces

One of the key strengths of the OPSM-ii is its size. With a compact footprint, narrow body and tight turning radius, it is designed to move easily through aisles, stockrooms and busy indoor spaces where larger equipment may not be practical.

This makes a good fit for businesses that need elevated access but do not want to introduce oversized machinery into smaller working areas. Operators can move between shelves, workstations and storage zones more efficiently, without disrupting the flow of the space around them.

As an electric machine, the OPSM-ii is also well-suited to indoor environments where quiet operation, clean performance and easy manoeuvrability are important.

 

Designed to support the operator

Good equipment should feel straightforward to use. HELI’s OPSM-ii includes practical features that help make daily operation easier, including fingertip controls, electric lifting and lowering, a multi-function display and a front tray for goods or tools.

The tray can be adjusted to suit different item sizes, giving operators more flexibility when working through a variety of picking or access tasks. Small details like storage space for personal items and simple, intuitive controls also help make the machine feel more practical in real working conditions.

For businesses, this kind of design can help improve workflow. For operators, it creates a more comfortable and controlled way to complete repetitive elevated tasks.

 

Smarter alternative to ladders

HELI’s OPSM-ii is not designed to replace larger forklifts or full-size warehouse equipment; its value is in the smaller, repetitive tasks.

By giving operators a stable, mobile platform for high-level picking and light access work, the HELI OPSM-ii helps reduce unnecessary climbing, reaching and manual handling. It is a simple way to support safer work practices while making everyday warehouse tasks more efficient.

 

For warehouses, retail storage areas, parts departments and distribution facilities, the OPSM-ii offers a practical step forward. It is compact, easy to use and built for the kind of work that keeps daily operations moving.
