Basic Application Guide for Different Types of Electric Stackers

An electric stacker or walking stacker is a walking pallet carrier with a mast for lifting pallets to a certain height. There are many different types of electric stackers for different applications. In this blog post, we will outline each of them and provide some basic application guides for electric stackers.


An electric stacker or walking stacker is a walking pallet carrier with a mast for lifting pallets to a certain height. There are many different types of electric stackers for different applications. In this blog post, we will outline each of them and provide some basic application guides for electric stackers.


Electric stackers can be electric or manual. They are often used to transport and lift pallets that do not require a forklift; For example in storage rooms, small warehouses and specialized storage areas, or as a backup for more expensive forklifts.


These machines are ideal for transporting small volume items for less than 5 hours per day in a warehouse or any location. As the wheels are smaller, they are more suitable for indoor use and are recommended for use only on flat concrete floors, but wheels with special requirements, such as larger wheels, can also be ordered from the factory.



Types of electric stackers: There are many types of electric stackers, each suitable for different applications. Here is a basic explanation of each of the different types. The main distinguishing feature of each type of electric stacker is how they distribute the load: front leg, straddle leg or counterweight.



  1. Electric wide-legged stacker truck

Electric straddle stackers are a common type of electric stackers. They use straddles to distribute the load weight. The legs allow them to straddle the pallet so that the stacker can be close to the pallet without requiring much space.

They are often used in low - to mid-level selective packaging applications; Examples include storage rooms, small warehouses, or shelf areas in customer areas. The straddle legs also allow for tighter pallet stacking when floor stacking is employed. The shelves must be configured to allow the straddle legs to move around or under the shelf bottom beam support. The lifting height starts from 1600 mm to 3500 mm, and the load is 1000kg,1500kg,2000kg.

Electric reach stacker is the second most common mode, it is also called forward stacker. They are very similar in design to straddle stackers, but they are equipped with a retractable shear mast. This means the mast is able to move cargo forward and away from the main body of the stacker.

They are commonly used in applications such as loading trailers, utility vehicles and trucks. They can also be used in general mid-level shelf applications similar to straddle-mounted stackers. The lifting height starts from 1600 mm and goes up to 5000 mm. The load is 1000kg,1500kg,2000kg.



3. Electric standing type stacker

Electric standing type stacker are very similar in design to standard stationary stackers, but they feature a platform (or Bob) and specialized controls that allow the operator to ride the electric stackers. One of the major drawbacks of stackers is that drivers need a forklift license to operate them, as opposed to walking behind equipment that does not require any operating license. The lifting height starts at 3000 mm and goes up to 5000 mm. The load is 1000kg,2000kg.



4. Electric counter balanced stacker

The balanced weight electric stacker uses the balancing force to distribute the load; This allows them to operate in narrower aisles than more commonly used straddle stackers, as they do not have legs that span the outside of the unit body.


They can also lift standard pallets, unlike standard electric stackers (which have front legs). The total length of Baoding balanced weight electric stacker is long; Due to the weight of the counterweight, this results in the need for a larger turning circle compared to other types of stackers.

The balanced weight electric stacker has a higher lifting mast in different types of electric stackers, starting from 1600 mm and increasing to 5000 mm according to the capacity, with a load of 1000kg and 1500kg.

5. Standard electric stacker truck

Standard electric stackers use legs located under the fork to distribute the load weight. This also allows them to lift and carry two pallets at the same time; This makes them ideal for applications where pallets need to be transported and stacked. They also offer very small turning circles in different types of electric stackers.


One of their major disadvantages is that because the legs are located under the forks, they can only lift bottomless trays or similar bottomless containers. They are designed for medium shelf applications with lifting heights between 1845 mm and 4255 mm.


6. Manual stacker truck

Manual stackers are not very suitable for moving pallets on shelves because they have very limited lifting height and are very slow to operate. It is only recommended for general lifting of very small volume. The lifting height is 1.2m and the load is 500kg.

7. Self-lifting stacker

Self-lifting stacker truck is also called truck forklift truck, is a car that can load and unload goods, and they are electric greatly saving time and manpower, truck forklift truck has full electric, semi-electric, simple three categories, very suitable for trucks to portable loading and unloading goods. Among them, the simple truck forklift is the choice of most people, because it is more lightweight, more cost-effective, and equipped with wireless remote control device, can achieve remote wireless control, making the operation more flexible; The lifting height of this car is 1.3m and 1.6m models, and the load is 500kg and 1000kg models, which can be freely chosen according to their own needs.

The main advantages of electric stackers:

Operators do not need a forklift license to operate electric stackers (unless they ride), but they must be aware of all control and safety procedures and have permission from the company to operate the equipment. Low upfront cost compared to other material handling equipment.

Lower operating costs. Compared to diesel, liquefied petroleum gas and natural gas, battery electric equipment has lower continuous operating costs.

No exhaust pollution or smoke, no noise, is ideal for indoor material handling. They also have lower energy requirements and therefore produce less carbon emissions.

Highly flexible, it is therefore able to work in compact Spaces and helps increase warehouse capacity.

Better operator visibility; Due to the smaller size, the operator has better visibility when handling the load.


Electric stackers are often ideal when moving pallets in specialized storage areas (such as customer-assigned storage areas) and storage rooms. They are also ideal for adding additional processing power to fulfill orders without the need to invest in a brand new forklift and provide backup.
