Pallet Stacker Questions and Answers
Pallet Stacker Recommendations
What is a Pallet Stacker?
Pallet Stacker is a walk behind piece of equipment with forks that lifts and moves pallets. These units are vital to many thousands of businesses that handle products shipped or stored on pallets. If your business uses pallets, then you clearly need at least one type of Pallet Stacker. These Lifts come in all sizes, small enough to push or powered walk behind or the larger units are sit and drive.
What is a Pallet Stacker Used For?
Pallets were a very simple yet important invention. Their use has prevented countless worker injuries and has saved countless dollars by helping to maximize business storage space. Pallet equipment lifts are necessary to lift and transport pallets in any business that uses large, open-area facilities such as manufacturing centers, distribution centers, and warehouses. These Stackers also are essential items for loading docks, as countless thousands of products are stacked on pallets and shipped via truck each day.
How Do I Choose The Correct Stacker?
Safety, of course, is a primary concern at any workplace. Did you know that one third of all reported transport-related work injuries involve Fork Lifts? A chief reason? Some poorly designed lifts have visibility-impairing portions built into their front structure, partially obscuring the operator’s view. So, rule of thumb No. 1: make sure the Stacker you’re considering investing in is designed for optimum safety. Some simply are not. Take into account your facility’s layout. If you have narrow isles or tight spaces that can’t be altered, then size and maneuverability of the Stacker you’re considering must be taken into consideration. You clearly don’t want a Stacker that’s too large to get to all the areas you’ll need it to reach, nor do you want one that forces your operators to overwork when moving or driving it. Sooner or later, something will get hit and become damaged. So do indeed take the time to fully research a new Stacker relating to your needs and the configuration of your facility. Doing so will save you money and help to make your facility operate with maximum efficiency.
What is Better DC Battery, Propane or Gas Engine?
An internal combustion engines is robust and can run on Propane or Gasoline. Propane Engines or Battery DC Power are the choice for inside the building because of the cleanliness. Gas powered are strictly for outside use because of the fumes they create. Yet it’s not unheard of for some business managers to go with internal combustion gas models for indoor use because they get a great deal on a used one or they believe that their warehouse is so massive that the fumes’ effect will be minimal. Yet minimal matters can add up into big ones, and so it’s best to stay with Propane or DC electric for inside use.
How To Choose Capacity?
Don’t under spend on capacity. Higher-capacity lift models understandably cost more. This is fine, but the capacity must match your needs. One important rule is don’t buy a Stacker where the capacity is under rated. Pallet Stackers are rate by a center of gravity on a certain point the fork. The further distance from the center of gravity the the capacity diminishes. Purchase a Pallet Stacker to accommodate your largest load in addition to handlig the largest piece to pick up past your center of gravity.
