The Benefits of Stackers
Stackers offer several benefits. Do you need to move pallets over short distances occasionally? A manual stacker is a great choice. If you frequently need to move pallets or transport over longer distances, it's better to consider an electric stacker or a forklift. Another benefit is that you can reach heights with a stacker. It's also more compact than a reach truck and, of course, more cost-effective. Finally, one more advantage is that you can easily navigate through narrow aisles.
What Types of Stackers Does Kruizinga Offer?
At Kruizinga, we offer 2 types of stackers in our assortment: a hand winch stacker and a hand hydraulic stacker. With a hand winch system, pallets can be easily lifted to the desired working height, ensuring ergonomic working. This works by turning a lever.

FAQ
What is a Stacker?
A stacker is a pallet truck with a mast, allowing goods like pallets to be stacked. This makes it possible to move and place goods at height. Stackers come in different types and sizes. You can use them for various purposes, such as loading trucks and placing or moving products in a warehouse rack.
What Should You Pay Attention to When Operating a Manual Stacker?
The stacker should only be operated by qualified personnel who have the appropriate certification. If you don’t have the certification, you are not allowed to operate the stacker.
There are also a few general safety rules for operating a stacker, such as:
Never lift the load with one fork.
Place the load against the forkboard or as close to the forkboard as possible.
The load should be placed on the forks in such a way that the center of gravity is centered along the middle of the forks.
Never exceed the load limits indicated on the load indicator plates.
Do not turn or stack on inclines.
Always wear safety clothing.
Do You Need a Certification to Operate a Stacker?
A company vehicle requires its own certification to be operated. A separate certificate is required for a stacker. A stacker is a powerful vehicle for transporting heavy loads, so it’s very important to know how to handle it safely. You might think that with a forklift certification, you can operate a stacker, but that is not the case. While you drive a forklift, you walk behind a stacker. You can only operate a stacker if you have the appropriate certification. You can obtain this certification at an ARBO center.
