Introduction to 2-Ton Manual Stackers

A 2-ton manual stacker is a versatile and efficient piece of material handling equipment designed for lifting and transporting heavy loads. It is widely used in warehouses, manufacturing units, and retail environments due to its cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

Functions and Applications

The primary function of a 2-ton manual stacker is to lift and move pallets or loads weighing up to 2,000 kilograms. It is ideal for stacking, loading, unloading, and transporting materials over short distances. Common applications include:

• Warehousing operations for organizing and moving inventory.
• Retail environments for stocking shelves and managing heavy items.
• Manufacturing facilities for transporting raw materials and finished goods.
• Construction sites for lifting materials to specific heights.

Technical Specifications

Key technical specifications of a typical 2-ton manual stacker include:

• Maximum Load Capacity: 2,000 kg
• Lifting Height: Typically up to 3.5 meters
• Fork Length: Standard lengths range from 900 to 1,200 mm
• Overall Width: Usually around 780 mm
• Weight: Approximately 300 kg
• Manual Hydraulic Lifting Mechanism

Benefits of Using a 2-Ton Manual Stacker

The use of a 2-ton manual stacker offers numerous benefits:

• Cost-Effective: Manual stackers are generally less expensive than their electric counterparts, making them a budget-friendly option.
• Ease of Use: Simple design with intuitive controls makes it easy for workers to operate with minimal training.
• Maintenance: Fewer mechanical parts result in reduced maintenance requirements and costs.
• Environmentally Friendly: No reliance on batteries or fuel reduces environmental impact.

Operational Guidelines

To ensure safe and efficient operation, adhere to the following guidelines:

• Always inspect the stacker before use for any signs of damage or wear.
