A walkie stacker, also known as a walk-behind stacker or pedestrian stacker, is a type of material handling equipment commonly used in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. It is designed to lift, move, and stack palletized loads in relatively small spaces. Here are the key features and capabilities of a typical walkie stacker:
Electric-powered: Walkie stackers are typically electric-powered machines, running on batteries. This makes them suitable for indoor use due to zero emissions and low noise levels.
Compact size: Walkie stackers are compact and maneuverable, allowing them to operate in tight spaces. They have a narrow chassis and a tight turning radius, making them ideal for navigating narrow aisles and crowded areas.
Walk-behind operation: The operator walks behind the stacker and controls its movement using a handle or tiller. This allows for excellent visibility and easy operation.
Lifting mechanism: Walkie stackers have a mast with a pair of forks attached to it. The forks can be raised or lowered hydraulically using controls on the tiller. The lifting height can vary, but it is typically limited compared to a full-sized forklift.
Stacking and unstacking: Walkie stackers are primarily used for stacking and unstacking pallets. They can lift loads from the floor to various heights, allowing for efficient storage and retrieval of goods on pallet racks or shelves.
Pallet handling: Walkie stackers are compatible with standard pallet sizes, such as the popular 48" x 40" pallets. They can easily slide the forks underneath the pallets and lift them for transport or stacking.
Load stability: Walkie stackers often have features to enhance load stability, such as adjustable forks and side stabilizers. These help prevent loads from shifting or falling during transportation.
Safety features: Walkie stackers are equipped with safety features to protect operators and prevent accidents. These can include features like anti-roll-back systems, speed controls, emergency stop buttons, and horn signals.
Optional attachments: Some walkie stackers offer optional attachments to expand their capabilities. These can include side-shifters, fork positioners, load extenders, or specialized attachments for handling specific types of loads.
