How to use the stacker

Use a stacker by entering fully and centered under the pallet, traveling with the load low and raising it to rack height only once you're square in front of it. SIMAQ has the manual SDJIO-S PRO (1,000 kg) and the electric triple-mast SQCDD-H1545 PRO (1,500 kg). Higher lift means lower capacity: check the load chart before raising.

Also called: pallet stacker, walkie stacker

The stacker lifts and stacks pallets in the warehouse with no back strain. Load stability and controlled height are the golden rule.

  1. 01

    Check battery/hydraulics and forks

    Battery charge (electric) or hydraulic level (manual). Forks crack-free and wheels rolling free.

  2. 02

    Enter fully under the pallet

    Insert the forks all the way and centered. A poorly picked load falls when you lift.

  3. 03

    Lift a few centimeters to travel

    Travel with the load low (just off the ground), never high: the center of gravity rises and it tips.

  4. 04

    Position, then lift to final height

    Only at the rack, raise to the shelf height. Approach square, no angles.

  5. 05

    Set down and back out straight

    Set the pallet, drop the forks slightly and reverse straight before turning.

Do this

  • Respect the load chart: higher lift, lower capacity.
  • Always travel with the load low.
  • Charge the battery in a ventilated area (electric).

Avoid this

  • Don't lift unbalanced or overhanging loads.
  • Never stand or let anyone under raised forks.
  • Don't exceed rated capacity.

Safety

  • Steel-toe boots, gloves and hi-vis vest.
  • Clear, marked aisles.
  • Brake on when parking.

FAQ

What people ask about the stacker

Manual or electric stacker: which one?

A few moves a day and loads up to 1,000 kg → manual (SDJIO-S PRO). Stacking all day or up to 1,500 kg → electric (SQCDD-H1545 PRO).

Why not travel with the load raised?

Because the center of gravity climbs and the stacker tips on a turn or a bump. Travel with the load a few centimeters off the floor and raise it only at the rack.

Stacker vs. pallet jack: what's the difference?

A pallet jack only lifts the pallet enough to move it at floor level; a stacker raises it into racking. No stacking needed → pallet jack; racking → stacker.

What's the most dangerous stacker mistake?

Lifting unbalanced or overhanging loads, or letting someone walk under raised forks. If the load isn't stable at floor level, don't raise it.
