What is a pallet stacker?

A pallet or ‘walkie’ stacker is a tool designed to help you and your employees make materials handling easier. A pallet stacker uses motors and hydraulics to help product distribution by allowing its users to lift, handle, and transport palleted materials with ease. In effect, combining the functionality of a conventional pallet jack and utility of a motorised lifting truck.

Many modern models are powered by electric batteries to allow businesses to be more energy conscious, save money, and increase the efficiency of their teams. Where operators would normally sit in a cage or raised platform, pallet stackers are pulled behind the user like a cart or operated on foot.

Choosing the right pallet stacker can be a great addition to your company and quality vendors will have a range of options available to suit your unique business needs. These can be heavy-duty stackers for lifting weighty materials or nimble stackers for volume work, with both empowering your teams to go beyond what would be physically or safely possible with conventional equipment.

But with so many options available, finding the right stacker is essential. Making the right choice of kit that would conventionally be a helpful value add-on becomes an essential part of your pipeline.
