General Questions About Bobcat Electric Pallet Trucks & Stackers

What is an electric pallet truck?

An electric pallet truck, also known as a walkie pallet jack or power pallet truck, is a battery-powered material-handling machine designed to move heavy palletized loads with minimal effort. It is an ideal replacement for manual pallet jacks, offering enhanced maneuverability and reduced strain on operators.

What is an electric stacker?

An electric stacker is similar to an electric pallet truck but includes lifting capabilities, allowing operators to raise pallets and materials to higher storage levels. Stackers are commonly used in warehouses, storage facilities, and retail backrooms where vertical stacking is required but space is limited.
