The Hydraulic Stacker is one of our extremely popular and widely used machines in this industry. As the name suggests, this machine is ideal for all kinds of load lifting, stacking and transferring activities.
here are different types of electric-operated stackers, including:
Walkie Stacker: A smaller stacker that is operated by an individual walking behind it. These are typically used for lighter loads and are often found in environments with limited space.
Rider Stacker: These are stackers with a platform that allows the operator to ride on the equipment while controlling the movement and lifting. They are designed for heavier loads and can be more efficient than walkie stackers in certain settings.
Reach Stacker: Often used in larger facilities, reach stackers can extend their forks further, allowing operators to reach loads that are placed in higher shelves or further away.
Pedestrian Stacker: Similar to a walkie stacker but with more advanced features, these are meant for precise operations where high visibility is important, and the operator stays on foot.
Benefits of Electric Stacker:
Energy Efficiency: They are more energy-efficient compared to diesel or LPG-powered equipment.
Lower Maintenance: Fewer moving parts compared to internal combustion engine stackers, leading to lower maintenance costs.
Maneuverability: Electric stackers are often more compact and can work in tighter spaces.
Environmental Impact: They produce zero emissions, making them more suitable for indoor use, such as in warehouses with sensitive air quality requirements.
A manual stacker is a type of equipment used in warehouses and factories to lift, lower, and stack goods, typically on pallets, without the need for a motor or battery. It is operated by human power, usually through a hydraulic or mechanical system that enables the user to lift heavy loads by using a hand lever or a crank.
Key Features:
Hydraulic System: Many manual stackers use a hydraulic pump that is operated by a hand lever, which raises or lowers the fork to the desired height.
Load Capacity: They come in different weight capacities, typically ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 kg (2,200 to 6,600 lbs), depending on the model.
Forks: Similar to a forklift, manual stackers have forks that can be adjusted to fit different pallet sizes.
Maneuverability: They usually have wheels that allow for easy movement, though the operator needs to push or pull the stacker to transport loads.
Common Uses:
Material Handling: Used to lift and move pallets of goods within warehouses, factories, and storage facilities.
Stocking Shelves: Ideal for stacking goods on higher shelves, as the user can manually raise the forks to the required height.
Inventory Management: They are useful for small-scale stock handling tasks in locations where forklifts are not practical due to space constraints.
Advantages:
Cost-Effective: Cheaper compared to powered forklifts.
Simple to Use: Requires minimal training, with most models being very user-friendly.
Compact: Suitable for small spaces and narrow aisles.
Disadvantages:
Limited Capacity: Manual stackers are not suitable for very heavy loads.
Labor-Intensive: Requires manual effort to operate, especially when handling large or heavy loads for extended periods.
