Choose by load, height and layout

A stacker must safely lift the real gross load to the required height inside the available building envelope. The headline capacity is not enough: usable or residual capacity can change with lift height, load centre, mast and configuration.

  • Load: provide gross weight, dimensions and centre of gravity.
  • Height: verify maximum fork height, lowered mast height and extended mast height.
  • Pallet: check fork entry, bottom boards and support-leg clearance.
  • Aisle: measure right-angle stacking space with the real pallet footprint.
  • Site: review floor condition, overhead hazards, rack capacity and pedestrian controls.

Read the electric stacker buying guide and compare an electric stacker, pallet truck and forklift.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a pallet stacker and pallet truck?

A pallet truck mainly moves loads at floor level. A stacker adds a mast for lifting and placing loads, so residual capacity and overhead clearance must be checked.

Does rated capacity apply at maximum lift height?

Not automatically. Request the exact model’s residual-capacity data for the intended load centre and lift height.

Will a stacker work with closed-bottom pallets?

It depends on the fork, wheel and support-leg geometry. Compare the exact pallet underside with the equipment drawing.

How do I measure lift height?

Measure the highest pallet support level, required placement clearance, and the building’s ceiling, sprinkler, door and beam clearances.

Can GETSUP help choose a stacker?

Yes. Send load dimensions and weight, pallet underside, lift height, aisle, door and overhead measurements, floor condition and duty cycle.
