Lithium-ion Tech for Compact Pallet Stacker
18th March 2025
Yale Lift Truck Technologies is excited to introduce a new, cost-effective pallet stacker, powered by a lithium-ion battery. The compact Yale® MSC12 electric stacker is ideal for efficiently and accurately moving simple loads of up to 1.2 tonnes, making it well suited to stock room applications or light-duty warehouses.
The new Yale stacker empowers operations with flexibility, offering the in-built benefits of lithium-ion technology, such as rapid charging, extended runtime, and endurance, all in one cost-effective solution. It provides businesses a reliable and ergonomic option for tasks in food distribution, food processing, retail, eCommerce, and 3PL, or for operations handling open pallets on an ‘on and off’ basis.
“Our new compact stacker directly addresses our customers’ needs by integrating the technology that provides the optimum solution,” explains Robert O’Donoghue, VP, Marketing, EMEA for Yale Lift Truck Technologies. “In this case, that is a high performance 24V 60Ah lithium-ion battery that offers fast opportunity charging, hours of runtime, and a long service life. This gives operators added power for pallet stacking operations, helping optimise efficiency cost-effectively,” O’Donoghue continues.
The new stacker’s compact design is also customer-driven when it comes to comfort and simplicity. Smooth operation and low noise levels are critical to the design, helping to deliver a better operator experience, while supporting safe handling best practices.
To help enhance the operator’s working conditions and efficiency levels, the electric stacker features a multifunctional tiller handle, butterfly controls, and a smart display. These make the truck easy to operate, with all travel and lift functions performable with either hand.
Operators benefit from enhanced control, accuracy, and precision thanks to proportional lift for lifting and lowering. Combined with the stacker’s optimal manoeuvrability and choice of lift heights, this helps deliver on operational efficiency. By reducing mechanical impact and friction during lifting and lowering, the proportional lift technology also helps enable a long service life.
“One way to harness the full benefits and time efficiencies of the Yale MSC12 electric stacker is to use it together with the MPC15 lithium-ion battery powered compact pallet truck,” explains O’Donoghue. “For instance, the MPC15 can deliver pallets from a lorry to the store with greater ease than a hand pallet truck model. Here, the MSC12 stacker can take over, moving goods from the door onto storeroom shelves or racking.”
Another opportunity to maximise uptime comes through simplified troubleshooting. A single display on the electric stacker’s tiller handle includes operational status and fault diagnosis, including the battery power status, charging status, and any fault codes. Ease of maintenance is also integral to the design, with simple access to all main components, and the support of a comprehensive spare parts and service network via independent Yale dealers.
