A self-propelled walk behind pallet stacker is an alternative to a full-blown fork lift in a warehousing, manufacturing or particularly retail operation. Because most of the self-propelled electric forklift trucks are powered by pollution free electric motors, they can be used effectively in major warehouse style retail stores to move heavy merchandise from shelving as much as 12 feet in the air. Vertical storage makes more effective use of expensive warehouse space and by utilizing a powered stacker, loads up to 3500 pounds can be safely lifted and positioned.
Self-propelled electric forklift trucks are similar to forklift trucks but not as large or as expensive usually. Yet, you can take a stacker to the loading dock, pick up a loaded pallet of merchandise, travel with it back to the retail store side of the operation, position your stacker unit at the shelf up to twelve feet in the air and smoothly lift the pallet and merchandise to the level of the storage shelf and remove the forks from the pallet, leaving the merchandise and pallet safely positioned on a shelf.
A self-propelled walk behind pallet stacker is usually constructed of steel with the wheels of polyurethane. The controls for raising and lowering the forks, forward and reverse speeds and the brake are generally located in the handle on the heavy duty models or as a separate lever for raising and lowering the forks on the medium duty units.
The unit is steered with the aid of a butterfly handle which tilts and twists as well as lowering or raising as required. A double safety braking system is available on the self-propelled stackers. Not only does the dead man's feature prevent rider less runaway vehicles, but the unit ensures protection from dropping carriage, forks or mast.
The mast is the upright portion of the stacker on which the carriage rides that does the actual work of raising or lowering the forks. The mast also serves as protection for the operator from loads falling backward onto the stacker.
The stabilization legs and the forks may be adjustable for different pallet sizes or support needs. Stabilization legs may be straddle type, fork over or in some instances there will be no stabilization legs, being replaced by a counterweight system.
Although the self-propelled stackers are not capable of a high rate of speed & most have a top speed of around 5 miles per hour & they can still travel fast enough to create some safety hazards. Pushing the top limits of speed, especially with the load extended can create top-heavy conditions and may lead to longer stopping times in an emergency stop situations. Although visibility is excellent on the empty stackers, when loaded they have almost no front visibility. Particularly in high traffic areas, care must be taken to avoid running into or over other employees.
Other common safety issues with equipment of this type is running over feet, backing into walls or other solid objects, or hooking one or both forks where they're not wanted. Training and awareness by operators will do much to reduce the incidence of such accidents.

  Straddle Leg Walk Behind Pallet Stacker, Electric Forklift Trucks, Walkie Forklift Selection Guide:

  The average empty pallet weighs approximately 50 pounds. Some weigh in at more than 80 pounds. Choosing an efficient method of gathering and managing pallets can mean the difference between profit and loss--employee safety and hazardous working conditions. And what about full pallets? If not moved properly, you risk product damage and steep drops in quality. When it comes to efficient storage and distribution, the straddle leg pallet stacker you choose is critical. Its use will save time and money and also prevent needless injuries.

  Key Specifications

  Lift Height and Weight Capacity	You'll want to choose a walk behind pallet stacker forklift truck that fits in best with your routine and warehouse set-up. The most basic questions are: How high do you need to lift and how much weight capacity? A walkie forklift will typically lift up to a maximum of 12 feet or lower and can handle up to 3300 lbs. More than this and you should probably consider a full blown forklift.
  Manual Drive or Electric Drive?	A manual drive pallet stacker is the most economical in terms of purchase price and on-going repair and maintenance. A typical warehouse employee will be able to move a 2000lb pallet on a smooth warehouse floor, although if you will be handling more than 10 pallets/day you should probably consider electric drive. An electric drive straddle leg walk behind pallet stacker will be more expensive to purchase and operate than manual drive models but are better suited to high duty use, use in parking lots, and where the warehouse employees can't muscle the weight around. These models will all feature forward/reverse variable speeds and safety brakes.
  Stabilization Legs	A Fork over design walkie forklift has the forks of the pallet lift truck lower right on top of the stabilization legs. The advantages of this walkie forklift is that it is less expensive, takes up less space and can maneuver in tight aisles. The disadvantage is since the forks are directly over the stabilization legs, you cannot pick up a closed bottom pallet directly from the floor; however, this is still an excellent choice for unloading trucks and this disadvantage can be overcome with either open bottom pallets/skids or blocks. A straddle leg walk behind pallet stacker allows the forks to lower directly to the floor with the stabilization legs straddling either side of the pallet. Advantages of this design are it allows you to pick up closed bottom pallets directly from the floor. Disadvantages are it is more expensive to purchase/ship and it takes up more space. Counterweight or counterbalance electric forklift trucks offer some benefits of both of the previously mentioned styles but with some other drawbacks. Counterweight stackers can lift pallets directly off of the floor since there are no stabilization legs to get in the way. The disadvantages are that the weight capacity and lift height will typically be less than the other styles.
