Definition: What is a Electric Stacker? 

A Electric Stacker or pedestrian walk behind stacker is a walk behind pallet truck with a mast for lifting pallets to heights. There are many different types of walkie stackers that are suited to different applications.  

Power Pallet Trucks can be either powered or manual. They are most commonly used for transporting & lifting pallets where a forklift is not necessary such as in store rooms, small warehouses, and specialized warehousing sections or as a backup for more expensive forklifts and warehouse equipment.

These machines are perfect for small capacity items transported around a warehouse or any premises for less than 5 hours a day. They are more suited to indoor use due to their small wheels and it is recommended that they are only used on flat concrete floors, but they can be ordered from the factory with specialized requirements such as larger wheels.

• Highly maneuverable and therefore able to work in compact spaces along with helping to increase warehouse capacity.
• Better operator visibility; due to their small in size, the operators have better visibility when handling loads.

Power Pallet Trucks are often ideal when handling pallets in specialized warehousing sections, such as customer allocated storage areas and storerooms. They are also perfect for adding extra handling capacity for order fulfillment without investing in an entire new forklift and for providing backup.
