Manual Stacker

A Pneumatic Manual Stacker is a type of material handling equipment designed for lifting, transporting, and stacking heavy goods, typically palletized loads, in industrial environments like warehouses and factories. It combines manual movement with a pneumatic-hydraulic lifting system. Key Features and Function Manual Movement: The operator manually pushes or pulls the unit to move the load across the floor. Pneumatic Lift: Instead of relying purely on a hand or foot pump (standard manual hydraulic stackers), this type uses compressed air (connected via an airline hose) to power the hydraulic mechanism that raises and lowers the forks. Purpose: It functions as an economical alternative to a forklift, enabling the vertical stacking and retrieval of goods in narrow aisles and confined spaces. Application: It is particularly valued in areas where electrical equipment is restricted (e.g., in hazardous or explosion-proof zones like those requiring ATEX certification) because the lifting power comes from air, not an electric motor or battery.
