A stacker is a type of vertical conveying equipment that has gained popularity, especially in Europe and the United States. It excels in loading tasks onto racks or truck beds using standardized pallets.
For models with a load capacity not exceeding 1 ton, operation is possible without the need for forklift driving qualifications. It enables flat movement without the need to acquire forklift operating skills, facilitating the handling of cargo within the premises.
Moreover, it is capable of safe movement even in tight spaces, offering easy positional adjustments without the need to operate a forklift.
As a replacement for tasks traditionally entrusted to forklifts, stackers are becoming a mainstay in resolving forklift queuing and congestion issues along transport routes.
To accommodate various tasks, models with a permissible weight ranging from 980 to 1500 kg are available. Electric stackers, equipped with lithium-ion batteries that require short charging times and do not need water replenishment or maintenance, are also in existence. Some of them come with a 100V charger.
For safety assurance, designs include features such as preventing the sudden fall of the mast even when the oil pipe is cut and an emergency stop button that instantly cuts off power with a press.
Moreover, manufacturers implement safety-conscious designs like anti-rollback brake systems to prevent vehicle rollback and automatic switching to low-speed mode if the lift height exceeds the set height.
All-in-one handles, equipped with buttons and levers for driving and lifting operations, are provided for easy control at the operator's fingertips.
