When to Choose Stand-on Electric Double Pallet Stacker

Many warehouse managers for e-commerce sorting and raw material transfer hesitate whether to replace ordinary stackers with stand-on electric double pallet stacker. They have obvious different application boundaries. Wrong selection fails to improve efficiency and wastes floor space. This article explains the differences between double pallet stacker and ordinary stacker.

Ordinary stackers can only handle one pallet per trip. Its advantages are compact body, wider aisle adaptability and lower purchase cost. It fits scattered replenishment, small-volume picking and warehouses with dispersed rack positions. Its obvious disadvantage is frequent back-and-forth transfer. For the same cargo volume, it needs twice as many trips. In busy transfer warehouses with large outbound volume, repeated movement wastes much working time.

The stand-on electric double pallet stacker carries two pallets at the same time and finishes transfer of two pallets in one run. It works well for bulk inbound and outbound and large-volume stock preparation. However, its overall length is longer, requiring wider stacking aisle for turning. It cannot show advantages in narrow warehouses with limited space, and is more suitable for open transfer zones and loading docks.

In terms of operation efficiency and handling frequency, the stand-on electric double pallet stacker transports more goods each trip. Judging from the features above, ordinary stackers are suitable for small and medium warehouses with light workload and low handling frequency, while double pallet stackers are a better choice for e-commerce, logistics and express delivery scenarios.

To sum up according to site conditions, ordinary stackers are preferred if your warehouse focuses on scattered small-order picking and dense racks. You can consider double pallet stackers for large-volume one-way transfer with sufficient space. Clarify your working scenarios before purchasing instead of only focusing on single-load capacity.
