Lifters & Stackers
Handling and lifting aids, such as stackers, can reduce the risks associated with heavy lifting and minimise the potential for employee injuries. Job-specific, manual-handling aids have also been proven to increase productivity. BiGDUG stocks a wide range of electric pallet stackers and manual lift trucks to ensure that moving and handling heavy items can be done safely and economically.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ELECTRIC STACKER AND A FORKLIFT?
Electric stackers are more compact than forklift trucks, making them more suitable for indoor use and areas with limited space, such as narrow warehouse aisles or retail stockrooms. They’re more cost-effective and easier to operate for light to medium-duty lifting jobs. Forklifts are better suited for handling heavier loads on various types of terrain, though they take up more space and require a formal license.
WHAT CAN ELECTRIC PALLET STACKERS CARRY?
BiGDUG’s robust stacker models can lift loads up to 1000kg SWL*, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. These lifters are ideal for transporting heavy pallets, machinery parts, or bulk stock within warehouses, factories, and distribution centres. Many models feature adjustable forks to accommodate various pallet sizes, offering flexibility and reliability in demanding environments.

ARE ELECTRIC PALLET STACKERS SAFE?
Electric pallet stackers are designed with safety in mind and include several features to ensure secure operation. Many models come equipped with emergency stop buttons, counterbalances, and adjustable forks to help prevent accidents. Electric stackers reduce the physical strain on operators, lowering the risk of injury from manual handling. As with any equipment, proper training is essential, and users should always follow manufacturer guidelines and workplace safety regulations such as PUWER to maintain a safe and compliant environment.
