What is a stacker and how does it work?
A stacker is a relatively simple and compact lifting device that is ideal for placing pallets in racks. Unlike a forklift, a stacker is equipped with support legs that serve to compensate for the lack of a counterweight. The forks are fixed and lower over the support legs, which means that not all types of pallets can be processed with the same stacker.
The most common fork dimensions for stackers are 1150x550 mm , which is perfectly suited for stacking Euro pallets . Thanks to this standard size, stackers are versatile and widely used in warehouses and storage areas.
In addition, stackers, like pallet trucks, are available with a folding step . This makes it possible to cover longer distances comfortably, because the driver can ride along instead of walking. This increases efficiency and ease of use, especially in larger warehouses.
Why choose a stacker?
A stacker is an excellent choice if you are looking for an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for transporting and stacking pallets in confined spaces. Their compact design and versatility make stackers a popular choice in warehouses and logistics environments.
