Double Stackers Eliminate Forklift Picking

These double stackers take single unit loads and consistently and efficiently stack one on top of the other, eliminating the need for fork truck drivers picking and stacking loads. When loads are presented to the fork truck drivers, loads are already prepared for storage and/or transportation. The double stackers use Premier Tech Chronos’ field-proven 3000-lb hoist design to lift the first load allowing a second load to convey in under the raised load. The VFD hoist, along with a series of photo eyes, gently lowers the raised load onto the load below. The two loads are then conveyed out from the double stacker. The production rate is 120 single loads per hour or 60 double stacks per hour.
