Typical applications of ergonomic equipment include lifting an item to the appropriate height, tilting a load, or supporting it during movement. Ergonomic stackers are particularly used for various purposes. Here’s a list of stackers that are currently in demand:

Manual Hydraulic Stackers

Three different configurations are available: simple manual stackers, manual hand winch stackers and manual hydraulic hand pump stackers.

Hydraulic hand pump stackers are compact and sturdy. They can fit through most of the standard doors. The fork is raised by a hand pump operation and released by the handle lever.

Tracked Hydraulic Stackers

These are designed to load and unload materials. They can maneuver different loads through rough passages. These stackers will not affect the soil while transporting materials, as its construction disperses ground pressure. Another noteworthy feature is the presence of an orbital drive motor. It allows for higher load capabilities. Their pilot operated brakes offer extra driver control.
