Stackers, often referred to as stacker forklifts or pallet stackers, are versatile material handling machines used in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers for lifting, moving, and stacking palletized loads. They are designed to efficiently manage goods at ground level or within limited height ranges, making them ideal for applications where a full-sized forklift might be too large or unnecessary.
Stackers come in various configurations, including manual, semi-electric, and fully electric models. Manual stackers are operated by hand or foot and are suitable for lighter loads and occasional use. Semi-electric stackers combine manual movement with powered lifting, providing operators with assistance for load elevation. Fully electric stackers offer complete electric operation for both movement and lifting, enhancing operator efficiency and reducing manual effort.
These machines are commonly used for stacking pallets in storage racks, loading and unloading trucks, and moving goods around the warehouse. They are particularly useful in areas with limited space or narrow aisles, contributing to improved warehouse layout optimization.
