Summary

The Walkie Pallet Stacker is a walk-behind pallet truck that has been designed to efficiently lift and stack crates, totes, and other materials up to 500 lbs. They come with an ergonomically designed operator platform that allows the machine to be operated from a standing position for improved productivity and lower body strain.

Walkie pallet stacker

Pallet stacker models may consist of single-sided arms to give you greater access around the pallets as they are being stacked. This feature is particularly useful when pallets need to be placed one at a time rather than in groups, such as when pallets have different loads and must be accessed from various angles. Some stackers also have a folding side frame that reduces the unit's footprint during transport between stacking jobs.

Construction of walkie pallet stacker 

Walkie pallet stackers are ideal for construction sites carrying supplies from the warehouse to the worksite. Material pallet stackers, also known as pallet trucks or pallet lifters, are designed to handle pallets of all shapes and sizes rather than standard pallets only. They're used in distribution centers and warehouses to move pallets of various materials around the facility safely and quickly. 

These pallets generally have a wider deck that accommodates a variety of items such as boxes, crates, drums, or sacks. You can find small material pallet stackers that can hold up to 4,000 pounds with an extension kit available if you need it to lift more weight. Or you can opt for a larger pallet stacker that can lift 10,000 pounds with a longer pallet deck and larger tires.

Types of pallet stackers

Popular pallet stacker models consist of a pallet truck and pallets. There are two types of pallet stackers: vertical lift and horizontal lift.

Horizontal pallet stackers

Horizontal load high-lift pallet stackers

Horizontal load high-lift pallet stackers (HLHPS) can handle higher loads than vertical stackers because weight is distributed across two sides instead of one. They also require less clearance underneath them, making them ideal for warehouses with low ceilings or tight aisles where the vertical stacker would take up too much room.

Vertical pallet stackers

Vertical pallet stackers have the pallets stacked on top of each other vertically to save floor space. In contrast, horizontal pallet stackers have the pallets laid beside each other horizontally for easier access.

Vertical load high-lift pallet stackers

Vertical load high-lift pallet stackers (VLLHPS) are more compact than HLHPS pallet stackers, making them ideal for use in facilities with low ceilings or tight aisles. However, they can handle less weight than HLHPS pallet stackers because weight is not distributed across two sides.

Vertical pallet stackers are popular models because they have a smaller footprint than horizontal pallets and require less space beneath them- making them ideal for warehouses with low ceilings or tight aisles.

Advantages and Drawbacks of Walkie Pallet Stacker

A pallet stacker is a pallet truck with an extra feature of pallet stacking built-in. They are generally used in warehouses where many pallets are handled daily. They save time and space by stacking the pallets neatly. This reduces the human effort to load and unload pallets while allowing more space inside the warehouse to store other pallets.

The following is more detailed information about the pallet stacker, its working principle, advantages and disadvantages, drawbacks, etc.

Advantages of Walkie Pallet Stacker

• It makes the handling of multiple pallets much easier, especially in high warehouse spaces or where large amounts of products need to be stored. Pallet trucks would not be that efficient in such places, for pallets are stored one next to the other.
• The pallets are stacked in neat order where they are stacked, reducing extra effort in stacking them again.
• It does not require any additional space or staff to operate it. This makes it pocket-friendly and cost-effective in the long run.

Drawbacks of Walkie Pallet Stacker

• Compared to pallet trucks, pallet stackers have a small load capacity of up to 1500 lbs, making it necessary to use many pallet stackers in warehouses where larger product quantities are handled.
• Sometimes, when pallets are added above others during stacking, stacked pallets will fall on the pallet truck.
• With an automatic pallet stacking feature, a pallet stacker costs much more than pallet trucks.

A pallet stacker is a pallet truck with an extra feature of pallet stacking built-in. They save time, space, and energy, making them pocket-friendly and cost-effective in the long run compared to traditional pallet trucks, which do not offer pallet stacking features.
