About Stackers

Stackers are a type of pallet jack that are used to move products loaded onto pallets. They can transport extremely heavy loads throughout your industrial warehouse storage facility. The two most common styles of used stackers are walk-behind and ride-on. As the name implies, walk-behind pallet stackers have the user walk behind the unit as it transports loaded pallets. Ride-on stackers allow the user to stand on the unit while transporting product.

There are also two different types of pallet stackers: manual and powered. Manual stackers are typically also walk-behind units because it requires the operator to manually push the unit to move. Manual stackers utilize a foot pedal or a handle to raise the forks on the stacker. A separate trigger is pressed to release the pressure and lower the forks. Powered pallet stackers are either gas or electric and allow for the transportation of much heavier loads. The forks on powered stackers raise and lower by the push of a button, and the stacker can move forward and reverse via controls on the handles. It is important to know that although you don’t need a license to operate a stacker you still need to be aware of how to operate it safely.

Stackers are used in areas with restricted spaces like narrow warehouse aisles. Due to the stackers smaller design operators have a better visibility when handling goods and inventory. These are a cost-effective solution compared to the alternative, a forklift. Stackers are ideal for indoor use and easily move in constrained areas.

When choosing a used stacker for your facility, consider the desired lift height and maximum weight of products. American Surplus Inc. can help you choose the appropriate pallet stacker for your application. We specialize in high quality used material handling equipment, so we can provide you a quality used stacker for a fraction of the cost of new.

Advantages of Stackers

Stackers, also known as stacker trucks or stacker lifts, are adaptable material handling equipment regularly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and other industrial settings. They provide many benefits that aid in efficient material handling and storage operations. Here are some of these advantages:

  • Versatility: Stackers are designed to handle a wide range of load types and sizes. They can handle palletized goods, containers, drums, and other materials. Stackers come in various configurations, including manual, semi-electric, and fully electric, allowing for different load capacities and lifting heights to meet specific application requirements.
  • Simple Operation: Stackers are generally easy to operate, even for operators with minimal experience or training. They often feature user-friendly controls, intuitive handling, and ergonomic features such as adjustable handles or operator platforms, ensuring operator comfort and efficiency during material handling tasks.
  • Increased Efficiency: Stackers help improve efficiency by reducing the time and effort required for manual lifting and stacking tasks. They eliminate the need for manual lifting or carrying heavy loads, enabling operators to transport and stack materials more quickly and with less physical strain.
  • Cost-Effective: Compared to larger and more complex material handling equipment, stackers are generally more cost-effective. They offer a cost-efficient solution for operations that don't require heavy-duty lifting capacities or extensive vertical reach. Stackers can provide significant cost savings in terms of equipment acquisition, maintenance, and operational expenses.
  • Improved Safety: Stackers are designed with safety features to ensure operator and load safety during operations. These features may include load backrests, safety gates, emergency stop buttons, and stability-enhancing mechanisms. By reducing the risk of accidents and injuries, stackers contribute to a safer working environment.
  • Flexibility in Storage: Stackers facilitate efficient storage by allowing materials to be stacked vertically. They can lift and position loads at different heights, enabling optimal use of vertical storage space. Stackers are particularly useful in areas with limited floor space, where vertical stacking helps maximize storage capacity.
  • Quick and Easy Maintenance: Stackers are generally low-maintenance machines. They have fewer components and simpler mechanisms compared to larger material handling equipment, making maintenance tasks quicker and easier. Regular maintenance, such as checking fluid levels, inspecting components, and keeping the stacker clean, helps ensure optimal performance and prolongs the equipment's lifespan.
  • Maneuverability: Stackers are known for their excellent flexibility. With their small turning radius and responsive steering, they can navigate through narrow aisles and tight corners with ease. This movability allows for efficient and precise material handling in confined spaces.
  • Reduced Product Damage: Stackers provide controlled and gentle handling of loads, reducing the risk of product damage during transportation or stacking. Operators can position the load precisely and smoothly, minimizing the likelihood of collisions, impacts, or other mishandling issues that may cause damage to the products.

Stackers Applications

Stackers are resourceful material handling equipment frequently used in a variety of applications aside from order picking bulk material. Here are some common applications for stackers:
