Walkie Stacker

 

Walkie Stacker – The Ultimate FAQ Guide

1. What is a walkie stacker?

Many organizations’ material handling procedures require the use of a walkie stacker. It is important to know about the equipment operations, its parts, controls, and its load-carrying capacity.

With this, you will have the necessary knowledge to buy and use this walkie stacker from CUBLiFT. A walkie stacker is different from any other type of forklift you use.

Its activities, in particular, revolve around the way it treats pallets vertically and it’s center of gravity. In certain instances, it functions similarly to a forklift, but in others, it is distinct in its operations.

This walkie stacker model is built to be powered by a person walking rather than riding the equipment.

This stacker is designed for low-demand loads and short travel distances, unlike other forklifts or counterbalanced equipment that are designed for heavier loads.

The walkie stacker is a piece of equipment that stacks pallets on warehouse shelves or in storage. You must have permission from your organization to operate this stacker.

If you obey the rules, operating the walkie stacker is simple and secure. There are several buttons on the handle, each with a different feature.

This model’s throttle controls are twist grips, and rolling the grip forward moves the stacker forward. When you roll them toward the back, the walker stacker reverses the course.

If you’re new to running a walkie stacker, mastering these controls is important, or you risk causing an accident. The stacker’s speed is determined by the setting options.

The button switch can be used to control the walkie stacker’s quick and slow movement. A switch for raising and lowering the load is also included.

You’ll need a lot of practice to be able to use these switches properly. The walkie stacker horn is triggered by pressing the horn button, which is a significant function.

On your walkie stacker, you’ll find a red button called “security reversing switch.” If the handle of the walkie stacker collides with a wall, it immediately reverses the path of the stacker.

It’s a protection device that prevents walkie stacker operators from colliding with the wall. This walkie stacker’s handle also serves as the steering mechanism.

This walkie stacker has two control mechanisms: one that extends the forks and the other that controls the load’s tilt.

These walkie stackers also have a battery disconnect switch in case of an emergency. If the stacker fails or if there are any emergencies involving the load or the operator, this switch will be triggered.

 

The battery is disconnected and the walkie stacker is turned off when the lever is pressed down. We have some walkie stacker models that vary slightly from one another.

2. How does a walkie stacker work?

CUBLiFT walkie stackers feature fully extended reaching heights. With a powered lift and drive, these walkie stackers are more convenient than other forklifts.

It is an economical alternative for lifting materials in large, medium, and small warehouses. When setting up to use the walkie stacker, bring it into the cooler or freezer that you need to be operated inside of.

Then you need to put the staging pallet a long way facing the doors or entrances. You can now put the product pallet on top of the staging pallet using the forklift.

You can now turn on the walkie stacker by putting the key to the right and pulling the red button up/down. Pushing the red button-down acts as the emergency shutoff for the walkie stacker.

You can pick up the pallets by inserting the top force of the walkie stacker into the long side of the pallet. For standard pallets, you can insert the top and bottom parts of the walkie stacker into the staging pallet.

Make sure you don’t increase the height of the product pallet by more than a couple of inches when in transit. Place the product pallet into the rack where it is being put.

You will notice that n each truck there is white tape and a sign that says do not exceed this height for second-level pallets. Make sure your product pallet is shorter than the white tape.

The sigh will also say make sure second-level pallets are the lighter ones. It is always best to put lighter pallets on the second level to make sure there is no overloading the walkie stacker.

You should also try to line up the product pallet with white tape on the beams and floors. This is where the staging pallet on the bottom will be stationed.

Lining the product pallet up with these tape makers will make it easy to place them on the rack. Make sure to follow all these staging hierarchies while putting your products on the second level.

To operate this walkie stacker, you need to raise the product pallet to the desired height on the second level of the pallet rack. There is a guard rope at the top of every pallet rack to signify the maximum height that the pallet rack can be raised.

If you go above the guard rope, you risk damaging your walkie stacker parts like the LED lights. Once the weight is on the pallet rack, pull out the walkie stacker forks from the product’s pallet.

Lower the walkie stacker forks to a normal position before pushing in the product pallet. With the walkie stacker in position, make sure the steering is straight to easily feed the bottom parts.

There are staging pallets on the low levels of pallet racks for walkie stacker movement. Make sure the labels for the product on the pallet are facing towards the vending machine.

3. Which are the types of walkie stackers?

Every day in warehouses across the world orders are filled by workers picking individual case boxes and putting them on the pallet for stacking. Sometimes the order filling process is back-breaking.

Predominately, some of these warehouses use walkie stackers to fill orders and reduce manual straining. There are various walkie stackers available for this work which include the following.

The walkie straddle stacker

CUBLiFT offers these straddle stackers to ergonomically transport pallets in the tightest area spot.

We design and build the best straddle stackers in the market. When you need to maneuver in tight spaces, turn to this walkie straddle stacker.

This walkie straddle stacker is versatile, adaptive, and practical to use. It also helps customers to better utilize vertical space in storage around congested areas.

It enables the operator to maneuver with the handle in the upper brake position resulting in a tighter turning radius. The control provides step-less speed transitions.

This means you can move the truck an inch at a time giving you more controlled operations at all speeds. It also offers variable speeds at the lower lift with a cushion mass stop that gives you a smooth, precise, and controlled load handling experience.

You will also find that the base legs for this walkie straddle stacker are adjustable. This will give you the option of accommodating various load sizes on your stacker.

They have very strong straddle legs that allow them to distribute the load during lifting. With this walkie straddle stacker, you can lift to 5500 lb capacities at 7 inches.

The walkie reach stacker

We also offer a walkie reach stacker which has a similar design as the walkie straddle stacker but is slightly different in operations. The difference between a straddle stacker and a reach stacker is that the latter is fitted with a scissor mast design.

This means it can move loads forward before the walkie stacker which can only move in the vertical direction. This is one of the commonly purchased stackers among our many collections.

They are commonly used in loading pallets in trucks, shelves as the scissor mast can move forward and stretch from the body of the stacker. It is highly economical especially in small/medium stores.

It is commonly used by retailers in their stores for stacking boxes in tiny spaces. It is essential to ensure good maintenance of this walkie reach stacker as it is quite expensive than other stackers.

Your narrow aisle operation demands efficiency safety and performance. CUBLFT’s new walkie reach stacker with a scissor mast is the perfect addition to your warehouse distribution center.

It is designed to complement your fleet of other forklifts. It ensures productivity and a low cost of ownership.

Ride on walkie stacker

These ride-on walkie stackers feature an operator stand board and the operator can ride them during operation. They save hours of back-breaking labor every day across different warehouses.

Not long ago almost anybody could grab a walkie or use a walkie stacker. Now, this new ride-on walkie stacker is available in capacities of 2000kg, 3000kg, 4500kg, 5000kg, etc.

Correct fork placement can be difficult when lifting a pallet of racking more than 300 inches off the ground. Struggling to get correct fork placement means a loss of productivity.

With this ride-on walkie stacker, your lifting problems are all solved. The fork guide options give the forks a perfect alignment with the pallets even when the mast is fully extended.

If you are lifting large loads, this walkie stacker features a perfectly designed mast that allows you to lift with confidence. It is also very convenient for the operator as there is no much strain you just ride on it to take you where you want.

Counterbalance Walkie stacker

With a load capacity of 2000 pounds and a raised height of 118 inches, it makes it more convenient than any other stacker.

Unlike most stackers that support the weight of a load with base legs that extend out past the mast, counterbalance walkie stackers achieve their lifting capacity by offsetting the weight of the load on the forks with an equal or greater weight behind the mast.

This design makes them ideal for applications where base legs could interfere with operations. Another benefit of having this counterbalance walkie stacker is that it can be used with any type of pallet or skit even those with closed bottoms.

All lifting, lowering, and driving functions are easily accessible on the ergonomic control handle. Redundant lift, lower, and drive switches allow for left or right-handed use.

Another crucial feature with these counterbalance walkie stackers is the horn which is within easy reach. They also have a belly bumps switch that reverses direction on contact to protect the operator.

These counterbalanced walkie stackers feature a wire safety screen for protecting the workers from coming into contact with the mast. The forks are mounted on a steel shift where they can be adjusted.

This counterbalance walkie stacker is the result of years of design and thorough testing to build in performance. You will be delighted with the improvement in working time with this CUBLiFT counterbalance walkie stacker.

 

Standard walkie stacker

Standard Walkie Stackers have legs that rest under the forks to distribute load weight. They can also lift and handle two pallets at once, making them ideal for pallet transportation and stacking applications.

In addition, of all the walkie stacker groups, they have the smallest turning circle. Since the legs rest under the forks, they can only lift bottomless pallets or similar bottomless containers, which is a significant drawback.

They’re made for medium-level racking, with lifting heights ranging from 2000mm to 4000mm.

 

4. What is an electric walkie stacker?

An electric walk stacker with a mast capable of lifting and lowering loads is known as a walkie stacker. CUBLiFT offers a range of electric walkie stacker models, including the following:

• Stacker Walkie up to 5000lb. capacity limit
• Truck with a Walkie Reach up to 3,000 lb. capacity limit
• Industrial Stacker on Wheels up to 4,000 lb. capacity limit
• Walkie Stacker with Counterbalance up to 4,000 lb. capacity limit

If you’ve determined that a walkie stacker pallet jack is the best option for you, you’ll want to know what to look for.

CUBLiFT electric walkie stackers, when compared to counterbalance forklifts, allow you to stack more items in the same amount of space by narrowing the necessary aisle width, resulting in more usable space and improved selectivity.

They are energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and free of emissions, fuel costs, and noise.

An electric-powered walkie stacker is driven by an individual on foot. In the material handling industry, a walkie stacker, also known as a pedestrian walk-behind stacker, is a walk-behind pallet truck with a mast for lifting pallets to various heights.

They come in a variety of configurations. The most popular walkies are used to lift and carry pallets over short distances.

The walkie comes to a stop when the motor is not engaged. The operator carries the tiller, which is an arm or handles with buttons. They allow the operator to move back and forth or lift and lower objects, depending on the situation.
