What are the benefits of pallet stackers?

Pallet stackers from Toyota Material Handling are compact and highly manoeuvrable, with load capacities ranging from 1 to 2 tonnes and lift heights up to 6 m. Very suitable for storage applications in warehouses, production areas or shops. The range includes pedestrian, platform and stand-in models.

What is the difference between a stacker for low-intensity work or high-intensity work?

Light-duty stackers such as the BT Tyro SHE and Toyota BT Staxio HWE are designed for occasional use: a few lifts and movements throughout the day. If you want a truck to perform frequently, it is recommended to go for a medium to heavy-duty machine.

Which pallet stacker is most suitable for work on ramps or thresholds?

To avoid damage to the powered stacker when driving up a ramp or over thresholds, a model with elevating support arms should be chosen. The arms can lift and are designed to take ramps.

When to choose for a stand-in stacker model?

There are different reasons to choose a platform stacker or stand-in stacker over a pedestrian one. If you would like to boost productivity, a platform machine will be faster. If you would like to improve ergonomics and safety for the driver, stand-in stackers can offer more protection and comfort.

How long does the battery last on pallet stackers?

This depends on the battery size. It is recommended to choose a battery capacity that lasts through the day when using lead-acid batteries, as charging takes 8 hours. For high-intensity, multi-shift operations, batteries need exchanging in between shifts. A more flexible option is lithium-ion technology . Available on the complete stacker range, it allows for charging in between breaks or when the truck is not in use. This permits an almost continuous operation of the stacker.

What is the difference between pallet stackers and reach trucks?

In essence, they can handle similar tasks, they both can transport pallets and store them at height. Main differences are: Compactness: pallet stackers have a more compact chassis and need less space to turn. Lift capability: Reach trucks lift much higher. Up to 13 m high, while stackers lift about 6 m. Speed: compared to a pedestrian version, productivity will be much higher with a reach truck. In general, the lift and drive speed is higher than on any stacker. Design: The operator is seated on a reach truck. Comfort and protection: a reach truck operator compartment is well laid out and offers great comfort and protection during the shift. However, stand-in stackers also have easy-to-reach controls and display for the operator’s comfort.
