What is a walkie stacker?
A walkie stacker is a compact, pedestrian operated machine, where the user walks closely behind. It’s designed to help businesses move and lift heavy loads within smaller warehouses that have narrow aisles. You can use a walkie stacker to restock shelves and transport goods.
What are the benefits of using a walkie stacker?
A forklift walkie stacker can make it easier to manoeuvre goods across narrower isles, and is able to lift loads up to 3.5 metres. Because they’re so compact, they’re most beneficial in smaller warehouses with a limited workforce. There’s also no need for someone to physically operate the machine.
How much does a walkie stacker weigh?
The weight of a walkie stacker depends on the model you choose. Typically, they weigh between 1 to 2 tonnes. High capacity walkie stackers, like the Combi-PPT, can weigh up to 6 tonnes. If you have a compact warehouse space, a model under 1 tonne, like the Liftsmart CB08-i will probably work best.
Is a walkie stacker a manual handling device?
Yes, these models can either be manual or a semi-electric walkie stacker, depending on which model you choose. They work by minimising the amount of strain put on the operators. With a walkie stacker, it’s easy to lift heavy loads in a controlled way–even with no operator.
What is the maximum lifting capacity of a walkie stacker?
At Adaptalift, our walkie stackers typically have a maximum lift capacity of 1.5 tonnes. However, if you require a stronger machine, the Comni-PPT model can lift up to 6 tonnes. The Liftsmart PT50 model also offers a larger lifting capacity of up to 5 tonnes.
