Manual Stackers – Cost-Effective, Ergonomic Lifting for Tight Spaces

For light-to-medium duty lifting, positioning, and stacking in confined spaces, Manual Stackers (also known as hydraulic stackers or hand stackers) offer an indispensable, cost-effective alternative to full-sized forklifts or expensive Electric Stackers. These devices utilise reliable hydraulic systems operated by a hand pump or foot pedal, allowing a single worker to raise loads safely without manual lifting strain.

At Verdex, we supply a robust range of certified Manual Stackers engineered for high maneuverability, durability, and WHS compliance. Ideal for small warehouses, stockrooms, and workshops, our stackers ensure you can lift and access goods safely at height, making them a crucial component of any ergonomic material handling setup. Explore our range alongside our mobile, high-lift Manual Stackers and Lifters.

 

The Operational Advantage of a Hydraulic Manual Stacker

Choosing a high-quality Manual Stacker is a strategic decision that optimises workflow, reduces operating costs, and safeguards your team's health.

  • WHS & Ergonomics: Manual stackers drastically reduce physical stress, eliminating the need for awkward lifts and reaches. By bringing the load to the correct ergonomic height, they minimise the risk of back injury and worker fatigue.

  • Ideal for Confined Spaces: With a compact footprint and tight turning radius, a hand stacker is perfectly suited for narrow aisles, rear loading docks, and mezzanine floors where a large forklift cannot operate.

  • Cost-Effective Lifting: Requires zero battery charging, less maintenance, and no specialist licensing (unlike many powered forklifts), offering a powerful lifting solution at a fraction of the cost.

  • Versatile Load Handling: Available in both platform and fork styles, a manual stacker can lift both palletised goods and non-palletised items up to significant heights. For very specialised lifts, view our Duct Lifters.

 

Choosing the Right Manual Stacker Model

To ensure maximum efficiency, select a Manual Stacker that matches your facility's operational needs, particularly concerning pallet types and required lift height.

  • Standard Leg vs. Straddle Leg: Standard leg stackers are great for open-base pallets (like skids or half-pallets). Straddle Leg Stackers use adjustable width legs to fit around standard Australian-sized perimeter-base pallets, providing unmatched stability for all pallet types.

  • Fork vs. Platform: Fork stackers are designed for standard pallet lifting. Platform stackers feature a flat surface, ideal for lifting boxes, crates, tools, and non-palletised inventory, offering a versatile work positioner.

  • Lift Height & Capacity: Our range includes models with varying lift heights and capacities up to 1000kg, built with high-quality telescopic masts and robust hydraulic seals for guaranteed performance.
