What are the different kind of Electric Pallet Stackers for Sale?
All types of stacker have the same or similar basic function: Lifting a load carrier from the ground up to a lifting height of normally higher than 800mm. Some are made to lift up to an ergonomic working height, while others elevate goods into high racks with a height of over 6 meter.
1. Manual pallet stacker
These stacker trucks, also known as hydraulic lifter are operated completely manual. They often come with a lifting capacity of 1000Kg and a cost depending on the specifications. Though some of these machines come with a quick lift option, this is normally limited to handling a capacity of 100Kg and only helps to lift under a pallet or very light loads. With a lifting height of 1.6m or more, these lifter need sometimes over 100 pump turns to get to the maximum lifting height. In a nutshell, these pallet lifters are not made for regular usage increasing strain and pain for the user and limited to low efficiency
2. Mono Mast Stacker
Mono Mast electric stackers are usually full electric trucks that drive electric and lift electric. The lift height is usually 1.6m or 1.9m depending on the application. With a load capacity of 1000Kg or 1200Kg they can take most loads on euro pallets or other load carrier. The main application for an electric monomast stacker is to lift goods to an ergonomic working height increasing efficiency at the workplace while reducing straing for the user. These trucks can also be equipped with a remote control to reduce the need to move around the truck while lifting or lowering in a stationary position. Mono Mast stackers can also be used for occasional application in the warehouse if the racks are not higher than 2 meter. It is a reasonably cheap multi-purpose stacker to be used as a lift table and stacker truck if needed
3. Electric pallet stacker

In central Europe most pallets are Euro pallets and can be handled with wrap-over forks stackers. In other countries like United Kingdom and USA, where traditional forklift trucks are still more common, pallets come in a different size. For these markets and anyone who needs to transport load carriers in different shape and form, EP designed Straddle arm stackers where the operator can adjust the width of the fork arms for simple operation. These trucks can be loading all kinds of long or wide goods, while the truck provides the same great features as any other EP pallet lift.

HOW TO BUY THE RIGHT ELECTRIC PALLET STACKER?
Buying the right electric stacker depends on several topics, of which some are: Budget, Space, access to electricity, required lifting height and required lifting capacity. It is very important to say, that all pallet stacker trucks for sale from EP come with a residual capacity that is lower than the rated capacity. While the trucks lift their rated capacity of for example 1000Kg up to 2500mm, the capacity decreases after this lifting height. When buying the correct electric pallet stacker, you need to know the needed residual capacity in your highest rack. Anyhow, also consider re-organising your warehouse and racks as it might be possible to move light pallets to the top and keep the heavy pallets on a lower level at the rack. While choosing the right pallet stacker might be difficult firstly, always consider as a first question: How many pallets do I stack per day, whats the weight of the pallets and how high is my racking. Most of the time these questions already lead you to the right electric stacker. Then contact your local electric stacker provider to find the right configuration for your application.
