FAQs

A powered access platform uses an engine or motor to drive its lifting mechanism, enabling operators to reach difficult heights and areas. These lifting platforms are ideal for installation work, maintenance, and order picking, providing flexibility and safety for elevated operations.

An electric scissor lift is a type of aerial work equipment featuring a platform supported by interlocking crisscross metal tubes. Powered by a motor-driven hydraulic system, it extends vertically to allow safe and efficient high-altitude work.

An order picker is an aerial work platform designed to pick and transport materials needed for fulfilling orders in warehouses. It ensures quick and safe access to items stored at various heights.

A powered stacker is a motorized material handling device designed for lifting and loading pallets. Also known as a walkie stacker, it is an essential tool for stacking operations in warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
Aerial Order Pickers

An order picker is a type of forklift designed for manually placing or retrieving stock in high-racking applications. It serves as a faster and safer alternative to ladders and scissor lifts, enabling operators to access items efficiently.

While an order picker is a type of forklift, it is designed for picking single items in narrow aisles. Forklifts, in contrast, are used for moving entire pallets. Order pickers are also smaller and more maneuverable than traditional forklifts.

Order pickers optimize warehouse operations by allowing operators to retrieve individual items from high racks without the need to lower entire pallets. This saves time and improves efficiency.

Vertical mast lifts are typically used for lifting workers or equipment for maintenance, installation, or other high-altitude tasks. They are compact and ideal for precise operations. In contrast, order pickers are specifically designed for warehouse or picking tasks, enabling workers to retrieve items from high shelves efficiently.
Stackers

A straddle stacker is a compact and versatile piece of equipment often used in warehouses and industries to move pallets in confined spaces. It is more adaptable than forklifts, requiring no operator cabin, and is an excellent choice for businesses aiming to improve work efficiency in limited space environments.

Whether purchasing a new or replacing an obsolete straddle stacker, there are several key factors you need to consider, such as:

  • Weight lift capacity: Ensure the stacker matches the maximum and minimum loads you handle.
  • Manual or powered operation: Choose between manual, semi-electric, or fully powered options based on workflow needs.
  • Lifting height: Determine the maximum height your stacker will need to reach.
  • Available storage space: Select a stacker suited to your operational environment.

Straddle Stackers are commonly found in storerooms, industries, and warehouses, particularly in tight spaces where they efficiently stack pallets with minimal effort. Features like an ignition key ensure only trained, authorized personnel can operate the stacker, enhancing safety and security.

Usually, only one trained operator is required due to the stacker's compact design, which allows it to maneuver in cramped spaces.

Manual stacker requires manual pushing/pulling and a pump handle for lifting. For semi-electric stacker, forks lift electrically whereas pushing/pulling is manual. In full power stacker, both lifting and movement are fully powered for maximum efficiency.

Yes, the weight capacity may decrease at higher lift heights depending on factors such as the pallet size, load center, and overhang dimensions. Overloading or exceeding dimensions can reduce the stacker’s lifting efficiency and safety.
