If your business needs to transport items frequently, a good option to consider in terms of moving equipment is a powered stacker. A powered stacker offers a hybrid mix of power and convenience. A powered stacker allows an individual worker to mobilize the device and maneuver accordingly. It is a good alternative to a forklift in pedestrian-busy spaces or in workspaces in which space is already at a premium. Due to the size of most powered stackers, they can be maneuvered around tight corners and move through busy spaces at a quicker pace than when utilizing other moving equipment such as the traditional forklift.

When it comes to buying material handling equipment, customers need to know that they will be supported long after their purchase has finished and they’ve begun to use their equipment on a daily basis. While that might sound pretty basic, and it certainly should be, the truth is that many distributors of material handling equipment simply behave as if the main goal, and indeed the only goal, is simply to close the sale and move on. Their support options are limited and nonexistent, and customers find themselves stuck without clear answers to their most pressing questions.
