Durable and Affordable Manual Stackers for Your Material-Handling Needs
A manual stacker is the sensible middle ground between a hand pallet truck and a powered stacker: it lifts to height with a hand-operated hydraulic pump, with no battery or motor to charge or maintain.
Lift to height without going electric
A manual stacker is the sensible middle ground between a hand pallet truck and a powered stacker. It lifts pallets and loads to height with a hand-operated hydraulic pump, so there is no battery or motor to charge or maintain. For smaller warehouses, retail stockrooms and tight production areas, it does most of what a powered machine does for material handling at a fraction of the cost. ARAS supplies manual stackers built for daily use, with safety and operator ease designed in.
Key Features of Manual Stacker
Long tiller for control
The extended tiller gives the operator the leverage to steer and position a loaded stacker with little effort, even in a narrow aisle. It keeps the hands clear of the load and makes lining up with racking straightforward.
Low cost to own and run
With no electrics, there is nothing to charge, no battery to replace and very little to service. The price is well below a powered stacker and the running cost is close to nothing, which is why manual stackers earn their place in operations that lift occasionally rather than constantly.
Less strain on staff
The hydraulic lift does the hard work, so operators are not manhandling loads onto shelves. That cuts the risk of back and shoulder injuries and keeps people working comfortably through the day.

Applications of Manual Stackers
Where it suits. Manual stackers work well in warehousing for occasional stacking, in retail and stockroom settings, in light manufacturing, and anywhere a forklift would be too big or too much for the job. Once your lifting becomes frequent or heavy, that is the point to step up to a powered stacker.
