Overview

Pallet stackers are essential equipment for factories, warehouses, and production floors where pallets, skids, or totes need transporting or racking. They lift loads onto elevated storage like racking or shelving, making them ideal for environments without loading docks or large forklifts. Designed for tight spaces, electric stacker forklifts allow operators to navigate narrow aisles easily. Their compact size, high lifting capacity, and operational flexibility provide a smart alternative to larger forklifts, perfect for facilities seeking a versatile pallet stacking solution for daily logistics.
Our autonomous stacker forklift features the SRC series core controller for integrated control and scheduling. Equipped with advanced sensors including 3D obstacle avoidance, safety bumper strips, and distance sensors, it delivers 360° all-around safety protection. With a 3-meter lifting capability, it efficiently handles stacking tasks for open pallets, material cages, and racks. The stacker forklift is fitted with a 270° navigation laser and a 360° obstacle avoidance laser. The front body includes a surround bumper strip, while the fork tip has two ranging single-line photoelectric sensors. Its drive system combines F2A, Kinco, and 1253 components, enabling speeds up to 2 m/s. Powered by a 24 V / 173 Ah battery, it supports continuous operation for 8 to 10 hours.

Handling and Stacking

The autonomous stacker forklift is designed with essential functions for cargo transportation and vertical stacking. It can autonomously move, lift, lower, and stack goods efficiently in environments such as warehouses, distribution centers, and logistics hubs.

Fleet Management System

Powered by RDS Fleet Management System, our automated pallet stacker allows for seamless task planning and automatic execution—minimizing the need for manual operation and enabling intelligent coordination across multiple forklifts.

Sensing Technology

The autonomous stacker forklift is equipped with an array of advanced sensors, including 3D lasers, industrial cameras, and ultrasonic sensors. These enable real-time perception of the surrounding environment to ensure precise navigation and safe operation in complex scenarios.

Control System

Integrated with SEER Robotics’ advanced controller, the stacker forklift supports multiple navigation methods—including natural feature recognition, reflectors, QR codes, and magnetic stripes—allowing it to move autonomously and accurately within defined areas.

Remote Monitoring

Support real-time remote monitoring and management via a cloud platform. Operators can easily track performance metrics, monitor task progress, and perform remote diagnostics to ensure smooth, uninterrupted operations.
