Only a professional manufacturer can help you choose a suitable electric pallet stacker. However, before customers choose the stacker for the first time, you must also know some key points of purchase to clearly express your needs to the manufacturer's technicians. The specifications and dimensions of the stacker are not important, what matters are the load, height, aisle width, the size of the pallet, etc. These data will affect the selection of the stacker.

Here are 5 points that you need to know:

(1) The maximum load
It determines the selection of the tonnage of the stacker. If the maximum load is 1 ton, the model of 1 ton should be selected. Even if the load is less than 1 ton in most cases, it should be selected according to the maximum load.

(2) Height
Do you think it is easy to choose a stacker with a suitable height? NO, the height here refers to the closing height and lifting height of the stacker gantry. You should consider your working environment. For example, the height of the stacker should be considered when entering and exiting the elevator, safety door, etc. The maximum lifting height of the fork is based on the loading condition of your cargo. The lifting height of ordinary stackers is 2-4m. For those exceeding this height, a reach truck forklift can be selected. The maximum lifting height can reach 12m.

(3) Pallet type
If a single-deck pallet is used, an outrigger-type stacker can be selected. There are outriggers in the front, which can support and balance. The outrigger type stacker is characterized by its short body, lightweight, and low price, but it is only applicable to a single-deck pallet.
Customers who use double-deck pallets need to choose a stacker without front outriggers, the forks are suspended, and the whole vehicle is pressed down by adding a counterweight on the rear seat of the body to balance support. The characteristics of this kind of counterweight stacker are that it can be used for double-deck pallets and on some occasions where the outrigger type cannot be used, but the weight of the counterweight stacker is very large, the length of the body is also large, and the price is higher than that of the outrigger type stacker.

(4) Channel width
How much is the load of the highest layer and how wide is the channel width of the shelf? Then we can determine what kind of stacker is used.

(5) Loading and lifting height
When the lifting height of the stacker is less than 3.3m, the maximum load of the stacker is the rated load, and overloading is strictly prohibited. When the lifting height of the stacker is > 3.3m, the load capacity of the stacker is less than the rated load capacity. Note: When the lifting height of the fork exceeds 5000mm, the vehicle must travel at the lowest speed, and the continuous walking distance shall not exceed 2m. Failure to follow these rules may result in danger to the driver or others. Second, it may damage the vehicle and cargo.

It can be seen that the selection of electric pallet stackers is not only based on quality, service, and price, but also actual use. It is undoubtedly the most efficient logistics equipment for modern warehousing that can not only meet the use but also minimize the shelf passage. Many factors need to be considered, such as turning radius, what shelf is suitable for what stacking truck, the type of goods, and the climbing ability. For example, the maximum weight that the elevator can carry should also be taken into account when entering the elevator. Due to the limited time, we will not introduce them one by one.
