Pallet stackers

Unlike pallet trucks, pallet stackers can also be used for stacking loads. However, not all stackers are alike, so consider the primary task you will be using the stacker for. Below is a little food for thought to help you choose.
1. Load size and weight: Make sure that the lift capacity of the stacker and the length of the forks are sufficient for the loads that the machine needs to handle.
2. Required lift height: How high do you need to lift the loads? Also take into account the size and weight of the load and the load center.
3. Operating environment: How much space is there for the stacker to operate? Are there height limiting factors, such as doorways, lights or beams? If there are a lot of thresholds in the operating environment, a stacker with initial lift should be considered.
4. Pallet type: The handling of FIN and Euro pallets does not cause any problems as they are 'open' on the underside. On the other hand, some pallets used abroad are closed at the bottom. If you handle these types of pallets regularly, you should choose a suitable machine.
5. Typical use: How many lifts are made in one shift? Consider whether using a manual pallet stacker causes excess strain to its operator? How far do the loads need to be moved? In a hectic environment, the electric lift function also saves time. Also consider the time it takes to recharge the battery. On average, electric pallet stackers require a recharge time of approximately 8 hours (overnight).
