Semi-electric stacker truck – All industrial manufacturers
Used to lift and transport pallets in warehouses, the semi-electric stacker’s mix of manual and electric power constitutes a good compromise between efficacy and economy. The front forks handle the loads, while the tiller arm is used for steering.
Applications
These stackers are generally used in warehouses to transport pallets and to place them on and retrieve them from storage racks.
Technologies
Semi-electric stackers use a mix of manual and battery power. They have either an electric drive motor and manual fork operation, or must be moved manually but with power forks. Steering is controlled by the tiller arm. These devices are available with standard or straddle legs.
How to choose
Maximum anticipated loads and transport distance must be considered when choosing between stackers. The other major decision is the choice of function to be powered.
Advantages
– Cost effective
