Electric Walking Type Pallet Stacker

Electric Walking Type Pallet Stacker is a type of material handling equipment used to lift and move palletized loads in warehouses, factories, and distribution centers. It is a variant of a pallet stacker, designed for stacking and retrieving pallets at different heights. The key features of an electric walking type pallet stacker include:

1. Electric Motor

It is powered by an electric motor, which assists in lifting and lowering the load, making it easier to operate compared to manual stackers.

The electric motor is typically powered by batteries, allowing it to operate without needing to be plugged into an external power source while in use.

2. Walking Type

The term “walking” refers to the fact that the operator typically walks alongside the stacker as it moves. Unlike ride-on forklifts, the operator does not sit or stand on the equipment. Instead, the operator walks behind or beside the stacker, controlling its movement using a handlebar or control panel.

The operator usually pushes or steers the stacker by walking, while the electric motor powers the lifting and lowering of the forks.

3. Load Capacity

These stackers are typically designed for lighter to medium-duty applications. They can carry and stack loads that weigh from a few hundred kilograms to over a ton, depending on the model.

4. Stacking and Lifting

The main function is to lift and stack pallets at different shelf heights or in narrow aisles. They often have a mast that extends vertically, enabling the forks to be raised or lowered to pick up or drop off loads.

5. Manoeuvrability

These stackers are generally designed to be compact and maneuverable, ideal for use in tight spaces like narrow aisles. They can be used for horizontal transport of pallets as well as for vertical stacking.

Advantages of Electric Walking Type Pallet Stackers:

• Efficient and Easy to Use:They reduce the physical strain on workers compared to manual pallet trucks.
• Less Space Required:Their smaller size and ability to operate in narrow aisles make them ideal for warehouses with limited space.
• Lower Operating Costs:Electric models are typically more cost-effective than larger machinery like forklifts, especially for lighter tasks.
• Safety:The operator walks behind the stacker, which reduces the risk of injury from being too close to heavy loads.

Common Use Cases:

• Stacking pallets in warehouse racking systems.
• Transporting goods over short distances within a storage area.
• Organizing inventory in tight storage spaces or aisles.
