Stackers are a key part of daily operations in warehouses, distribution centres and manufacturing environments. They allow teams to move and position pallets safely, especially in tight areas where larger machinery would struggle. However, like all regularly used equipment, stackers can develop mechanical or operational issues over time. These faults are often manageable if identified early, helping businesses avoid downtime, maintain safety and extend the lifespan of their e

Pallet trucks are everywhere: shop floors, loading bays, warehouses, hospitals, and back-of-house areas.

Automation isn’t about replacing people with robots. It’s about taking the strain out of repetitive work, removing avoidable errors, and keeping goods moving with fewer stoppages. For most warehouses, the biggest wins come from simple, sensible upgrades - powered handling equipment, better scanning, clearer layouts - long before you consider anything “high-tech”.

Keeping people safe while moving goods isn’t complicated, but it does require clear rules, competent operators and equipment that’s fit for purpose. This guide answers common questions we hear from customers using pallet trucks, pedestrian stackers and other manual handling equipment, and points to sensible steps you can take today.

Stackers bridge the gap between pallet trucks and forklifts. They lift pallets to racking or workstations without the footprint or cost of a forklift. You’ll see them in warehouses, production lines, and back-of-store areas where space is tight and lifts are frequent but not constant. Choosing between a manual stacker and an electric stacker affects safety, throughput, operator fatigue, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
