An electric reach stacker is one of the two types of reach stackers available today, the other type being a manual reach stacker. As you know, reach stackers or pallet stackers are used in any materials handling operation that requires lifting, delivering and stacking pallets of goods.

Below are some of the common features that you will find on a electric reach stacker:
- Usually equipped with an electro-hydraulic system that makes it possible to lift and lower down the forks.

Features a throttle or a handle that helps control the machine’s directions, such as moving it forward or putting it on reverse.

Benefits of an Electric Reach Stacker

- Will not require a smooth floor surface. Unlike manual reach stackers that can only be operated on a smooth surface, an electric pallet stacker can easily manoeuvre through rough or uneven ground.
- Less physical demands on the operator. The operator of an will also exert much less muscle power in order to run the machine.
- Less fossil fuel consumption. Not needing to depend on gasoline anymore is not only good for the environment but also leads to a more quiet operation perfect for reducing workplace noise.
