Light Duty Stacker

Light Duty Stacker

A light duty stacker is a versatile lift truck that’s capable of increasing productivity in warehouse and retail premises. The trucks’ safe, durable and compact design makes them easy to maneuver while offering increased performance during horizontal transport, order picking or lifting onto high racking. They’re powered by either traditional lead-acid batteries or, for greater efficiency and sustainability, lithium ion battery technology.

The PJ series adjustable fork and PF series fixed fork manual platform light stacker are ideal for moving office equipment, files or other small loads around the workplace. They can also be used to lift and position cumbersome items such as furniture, mailroom supplies or IT equipment. Featuring a compact body, these light stackers roll easily on floor-protective swivel casters with brakes and 3" phenolic load wheels. They also have a large, red emergency cut-off switch for effortless operation and enhanced safety.

With their simple and intuitive controls, light duty stacker offer greater control than other types of pallet trucks. The handle features an angled control panel with a directional thumb wheel that offers fingertip access to key functions. An integrated key switch and battery discharge indicator ensure ease of operation, while the return spring on the handle enhances durability. The handle can also be locked in the upright position to restrict access to the machine and improve safety.

Unlike a manual hydraulic lift, a light duty stacker reduces worker strain and fatigue while increasing productivity. Manual lifting can cause injuries to the back, shoulders, legs, arms and spine. A light duty stacker eliminates the need to manually lift heavy loads with multiple workers, making it a safer and more efficient choice for busy warehouses.

There are many different models of walkie stacker to choose from, including the HC 110b power lift stacker from Jungheinrich. This unit is designed for occasional light-duty stacking operations and loading from trailers at ground height. The machine’s 1.6 kW AC lift motor provides up to 2,200 lb. of capacity and has a range of load lift heights from 63 to 137 in. Adjustable forks and straddle legs allow the stacker to be finely tuned to the load.

Another popular choice is the electric straddle leg stacker, which is available in 6 models and features an electric motor system that facilitates fast lifting and movement. It also provides a more precise lift, allowing it to lift products from the floor or racking up to 1.5 m. It’s also capable of lowering stacked goods safely to the ground with no need for a ramp.

Light-duty electric stackers are available in various sizes and are perfect for warehouses, logistics centres, and retail facilities. They’re highly efficient, environmentally friendly and provide superior stability compared to other pallet stackers. They’re available with lead acid or lithium ion batteries and are quick to recharge, allowing operators to maintain productivity throughout their shift.
