A Lithium stacker is a vehicle that is used to lift, move and stack pallets. Stackers often display a similar chassis to a powered pallet truck but with the addition of a mast. This means that a stacker can provide a double function for your operation, the transportation of goods and the lifting and lowing of goods onto racking or shelves for storage and retrieval.
Lithium electric stackers are far better than hydraulic stackers as they are capable of lifting greater loads and require a lot less strength when handling eliminating risk of injury & strain for the operator. As well increasing storage capacity, stacker trucks can improve efficiency by speeding up the process.
Economical & Energy Saving
Lithium powered stacker trucks outperform their lead acid predecessors in a multitude of different ways. Powered by an energy efficient li-on batteries, Lithium stacker trucks have up to 4X longer battery lifespan than their lead-acid equivalents. Increased energy density means faster charging times which drastically reduces machine downtime. More importantly, less energy is used means reduced electricity costs.
Reduces physical labour and safety concerns
If you are using a manual hydraulic pallet lifter then you run the risk of strain, pain & injury to the operator which could also severely reduce productivity & increase work related absenteeism. An electric stacker eliminates all these issues by reducing the physical labour required for the task. Lithium stackers also save time and boost efficiency by speeding up the entire process. Lithium-ion batteries offer high power density which means lithium-ion batteries are relatively small and light. They are only one-third the weight of lead-acid batteries which means our stacker trucks come with higher standards of ergonomics.
Environmentally Friendly
From an environmental point of view, li-on batteries are non-toxic and harmless. The technology of lead-acid involves chemical reactions with lead plates & sulfuric acid. This creates sulphate build-up from a dissipation of hydrogen from heat generated during the charging process. Lithium powered material handling equipment on the other hand gives off zero emissions or gasses during use. In fact, investment in sustainable lithium represents a major step towards a greener future. Especially with new recycling options developing every day.
Li-on Technology Boosts Efficiency
While lead acid batteries always need a full charge cycle of 8-12 hours to keep the batteries chemistry in balance, Li-Ion batteries really like opportunity charging. They can be plugged in the wall and charge for 10 minutes during a lunch break. This unique way of charging boosts the uptime of your machine and ultimately increases productivity.
Stacker trucks are more easily manoeuvred than forklift trucks and are ideal for fitting in small spaces. They are perfect for tightly packed warehouses and to lift difficult shaped items.
