How high does a stacker lift?

The models here typically lift between 1,600 and 3,500 mm. Measure the top rack beam and work above that figure.

What is the difference between a stacker and a forklift?

The operator walks with a stacker and rides a forklift. A stacker turns in far less space and costs less, but it does not reach the height and capacity a forklift carries.

What does semi-electric mean?

The lift is powered and travel is manual. For short distances and a few lifts a day it does the job without the cost of a fully electric machine.

Does capacity change with lift height?

Yes. The same machine carries less the higher it goes. Nameplate capacity usually applies at low height; ask separately for the rating at maximum height.

Will it work in a narrow aisle?

Stackers turn in markedly less space than forklifts, but every model has a turning radius. Send your aisle width and we will filter the models that fit.

How is the battery maintained?

Lead-acid batteries need regular electrolyte checks and full charge cycles; leaving one half-discharged shortens its life. We can plan the charging regime around your duty cycle.

Stackers

A stacker lifts a load to rack height. What separates it from a forklift is that the operator walks with it and it turns in far less space — which is how small and mid-size warehouses stack without buying a forklift. The range here covers fixed-fork, semi-electric and fully electric models rated from 1,000 to 2,000 kg.

Lift height reduces capacity

The most common mistake in choosing a stacker is reading capacity at floor level only. The same machine carries less the higher it goes: the rating declared at maximum lift height can be below the nameplate figure.

The right method is to measure the height of the top rack beam and ask for the capacity at that height. Check closed mast height too — the machine has to pass under the doors and ceiling of your building.

Fixed-fork, semi-electric and fully electric

There are three levels, and what separates them is how much of the work the operator does.

Model	Lift	Travel	Suits
Fixed-fork stacker	Powered	Manual	Occasional stacking in one place
Semi-electric stacker	Powered	Manual	Short distances, a few lifts a day
Fully electric stacker	Powered	Powered	All-day stacking operations

Measure the building before you order

Unlike a pallet truck, a stacker depends on the geometry of the building. Four measurements are needed before ordering: top rack beam height, aisle width, door height and pallet size. Those four decide which model can physically work before capacity is even considered.
