The person-on-board system allows for storage of items in loss than unit load quantities. A person rides on m platform with the S/R machine to pick up individual items from a bin or drawer. This provides an in-aisle order-picking ability that can reduce the time it takes to fill an order. The operator can select the items and place them into a tote or module, which is then carried by the S/R machine to the end of the aisle or to a conveyor to reach its destination. The platform (the oper­ator is on) may contain additional devices, some automatic, to facilitate lifting of heavy items.
