Stacker
Does the weight capacity of a Pallet Stacker change the higher the forks are raised?
It depends on the product, the pallet size and the stacker load center. The stackers capacity can be de-rated (at certain lift heights) if the product over hangs in length/width or the pallet exceeds the maximum allowed dimensions. Not sure if a stacker...
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN STRADDLE AND FORK OVER TYPE STACKER?

What is the “max raised height” of a stacker?
It is the highest point that the tips of the forks will reach. In the drawing below the arrows represents the max raised height – from floor level to the tip of the forks.
What is meant by the range of width for the adjustable forks?
If the forks can be adjusted then this refers to the outside dimensions (OD) from where the forks are closest together and the outside dimensions to where the forks are furthest apart from each other. Notice in the drawing below that the range of the...
What is the turning radius ?
Turning radius refers to the end to end turning circle. The smaller the radius the less aisle width is required for a stacker to maneuver loads. In the stacker drawing the turning radius is represented by the arrow with the dotted arc. In...
Does the charger plug into a standard 110 V outlet?
This is a question that applies to the Semi-Electric and Full Powered Stackers. To keep it very simple we at Cherry’s Industrial only offer stackers that can be charged using a 110V standard outlet.
What is the range of width of the outriggers?
It is good to know the Inner Dimensions (ID – the inside to inside distance of the outriggers) as well as the Outer Dimensions (OD – the outside to outside distance). If you notice in the drawing G represents the OD of the outriggers while...
What is the minimum aisle width recommended with this Stacker?
Economizing warehouse space is a very important goal for most companies. As a result, aisle widths tend to be on the narrow side. It is very important to know the width of your standard aisles so that you can confirm that the minimum aisle...
What is the capacity of the stacker at its maximum fork height? Or Will the capacity of the stacker be the same when the forks rise to their highest point?
