Introduction

Electric Powered Stacker Trucks, also known as Pedestrian Stacker Trucks, are a staple in most warehouses and distribution centres. These trucks come in several variations, but their primary purpose remains the same: to provide the functionality of a traditional Counterbalance lift truck on a smaller scale.

Key features include the ability to operate in narrow aisles and the capability to stack and de-stack pallets from racking up to a height of 5.5 metres.

These trucks are designed for indoor use only and are not suitable for loading or offloading vehicles. They are ideal for warehouses aiming to optimise their storage space effectively.

Safe operation of Medium and High-Level Pallet Trucks requires a high skill level. By the end of the course, trainees will understand their legal obligations, learn how to perform pre-use safety checks and operate the truck confidently and efficiently.

Course durations are customised based on the number of trainees and their levels of experience. Our team is happy to work with you to identify the most suitable training program for your needs.
