A manual stacker is a versatile and cost-effective material handling tool used for lifting, transporting, and stacking pallets or heavy loads in warehouses, workshops, and retail environments. Unlike powered stackers, it operates through a hydraulic pump or winch mechanism, typically controlled by a hand lever or foot pedal, making it entirely reliant on human effort. With a robust steel frame and a load capacity ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg, it is designed for durability and stability. The stacker's compact size and mobility, aided by wheels or casters with brakes, make it suitable for tight spaces and easy to maneuver. It can lift loads to heights of up to 3 meters, depending on the model, and some designs feature adjustable forks to accommodate various pallet sizes. While it is slower and more labor-intensive than powered alternatives, a manual stacker is ideal for smaller operations due to its affordability, low maintenance, and eco-friendly nature.
