Manual Stacker

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.

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.

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.

At ARAS Developments FZE we keep manual stackers and their spare parts in stock, so you are not waiting weeks for a replacement seal or wheel. We will help you pick a capacity and lift height that match your pallets and racking rather than selling you more machine than you need.

• Inspect Regularly: Conduct routine inspections to ensure the stacker is in good working condition. Check for any wear and tear on the brakes, wheels, and lifting mechanism.
• Follow Weight Limits: Always adhere to the 2-ton capacity to avoid overloading and ensure safe operations.
• Use on Level Surfaces: For optimal performance and safety, use the stacker on smooth, level surfaces.
• Store Properly: Keep the stacker in a dry, safe area when not in use to prevent corrosion and damage.
• Train Operators: Ensure employees are familiar with the stacker’s controls and safety features before use.

For a small warehouse, a retail stockroom or a compact production line, a manual stacker from ARAS Developments FZE is a reliable, low-cost way to lift and move loads without committing to powered equipment. Tell us your typical load weight and the height you stack to, and we will point you to the right model.
