Energy Efficient for Mobile Applications
Pick-MAX lights are purposefully engineered for optimum energy efficiency, making them ideal for mobile, battery-based applications like batch picking carts or cluster picking light sleds. The resulting increase in battery life reduces downtime needed for recharging.

Multiple Product Options
Pick-MAX hardware is offered as a complete solution — delivered with Lightning Pick software. Plus, support for current Pick-MAX software installations will continue. Pick-MAX hardware’s reliability and features are also popular with system integrators delivering custom solutions that deploy their own software or controls.

Watch-Me Option
Pick-MAX hardware integrates with Lightning Pick’s exclusive Watch-Me system, allowing pick-to-light or put-to-light systems to track individual pickers without the need for zone scan logins or assignments. This patented option guarantees picker accountability and enables zoneless picking technologies like LP Zone Free.

Pick-MAX Micro
Lightning Pick’s Pick-MAX Micro is designed to bring the benefits of pick-to-light in a smaller, less costly package. Pick-MAX Micro fits applications that require a higher density of pick faces. In very large systems where cost becomes a factor, Pick-MAX Micro fits perfect as a less costly option, allowing more pick locations to be equipped with this technology.
