walkie stacker is a type of material handling equipment used in warehouses and industrial settings. It’s designed to lift and stack goods or pallets in a vertical direction, often with the operator walking alongside or behind the unit.
Here are some key features and uses:
Operation
: Unlike a forklift, which the operator sits in, a walkie stacker is operated from a standing position, and the operator walks alongside or behind the unit.
Lifting Mechanism
: It typically has a mast with forks or a platform that can be raised or lowered to move goods to different heights.
Capacity and Reach
: Walkie stackers come in various sizes and capacities, making them suitable for different tasks. Some can reach up to several meters high, allowing them to stack goods on high shelves.
Power Source
: They are usually powered by electric batteries, which makes them suitable for indoor use and reduces emissions compared to internal combustion engine equipment.
Maneuverability
: They are designed for narrow aisles and tight spaces, making them ideal for dense storage areas.
