Semi Electric Stacker Straddle for Stable Closed Pallet Movement
Wide-legged chassis and outward straddle legs ensure superior load stability and safer pallet handling in tight warehouse aisles.
About Semi Electric Stacker Straddle
Semi Electric Stacker Straddle is a versatile material handling solution designed to transport and lift heavy loads with minimal operator effort and maximum stability. Distinguished from conventional stackers, which have standard forks to lift loads, the semi-electric stacker straddle has a straddle design with outward-positioned legs. Avcon’s semi-electric stacker straddle is particularly effective for closed pallet operations due to its wide chassis design combined with motorised lifting.
Key Benefits:
- Wide-legged chassis with outward straddle legs delivers excellent stability while safely handling closed-bottom and non-standard pallets.
- Precision hydraulic system with inching control enables smooth, accurate lifting and positioning of loads at height.
- Plug-and-play AC and DC power options minimise downtime and reduce dependence on battery charging in demanding shifts.
- Quick availability of spares, custom-built configurations, and strong after-sales support.

Parts Of Semi Electric Stacker Straddle
- Mast – The mast is the vertical structure that guides and supports the forks during lifting and lowering. It takes the full vertical load and keeps the pallet stable at height.
- Hydraulic power pack- The hydraulic power pack generates the oil pressure needed to lift loads. It combines the pump, motor, and reservoir, converting electrical energy from the battery into hydraulic lifting force.
- Hydraulic cylinder- The hydraulic cylinder converts pressurized oil into linear motion to raise and lower the fork carriage. It directly handles the vertical lifting work and must be robust for safe operation.
- Battery (built‑in)- The battery supplies electrical power to the hydraulic power pack and control circuits. Its capacity determines how many lifting cycles the semi electric stacker straddle can perform between charges.
- Control handle- The control handle is the operator’s main interface for travel and lifting commands. It houses the buttons/switches for lift, lower, and emergency stop, enabling safe, precise maneuvering in tight warehouse spaces.
- Fork carriage- The fork carriage connects the forks to the mast and moves vertically along it. It transfers the load from the pallet to the mast while keeping the forks aligned and stable under varying weights.
- Straddle legs- Straddle legs extend outwards to go around the pallet rather than under it. They provide lateral stability and allow the semi electric stacker straddle to handle closed-bottom pallets and different pallet sizes efficiently.
Safety & Operator Comfort
Our Semi Electric Stacker Straddle is engineered with operator safety and ergonomic comfort as top priorities, ensuring smooth, stable, and fatigue-free material handling in demanding warehouse environments.
Elimination of Manual Fatigue
Battery-operated lifting mechanism eliminates strenuous manual pumping with push-button operation, loads are lifted to full height effortlessly, reducing back strain.
Robust Operator Protection
Reinforced safety screen positioned between the mast and control handle protects against moving parts and load slips ensuring clear visibility for precise positioning.
Secure Braking and Stability
Floor parking brakes secure the unit during loading and unloading, ergonomic steering handles and wheel toe guards enhance control and prevent accidents.

Applications Of Semi Electric Stacker Straddle
- Vehicle Loading & Unloading- Ideal for facilities without dock levelers, this stacker lifts pallets directly from the ground to the truck bed efficiently. It eliminates the manual strain of loading small-to-medium delivery vehicles, significantly speeding up dispatch and receiving operations.
- Narrow Aisle Storage Solutions- Designed with a compact chassis and small turning radius, it navigates tight warehouse aisles where standard counterbalanced forklifts cannot fit. This capability allows businesses to maximise vertical storage density without needing to expand their floor footprint.
- Retail & Supermarket Floor Management- With its quiet electric lifting and compact footprint, the stacker is perfect for restocking shelves on sales floors during business hours. Staff can safely maneuver goods through customer areas without the noise or safety hazards of heavy diesel machinery.
- Handling Closed-Bottom Pallets- The straddle leg configuration enables the stacker to handle closed-bottom (stringer) pallets which standard stackers cannot lift. This application is critical for supply chains that use diverse pallet types, ensuring you are never limited by incoming packaging.
- Hazardous Environment Operations- Flameproof configurations suitable for use in chemical, paint, and pharmaceutical industries, allow for safe electric lifting in zones where volatile gases or flammable dusts are present, ensuring strict safety compliance.

FAQ's -Avcon Systems Semi Electric Stacker Straddle
The Avcon Systems semi electric stacker straddle is designed with adjustable straddle legs and forks, allowing it to handle both open and closed-bottom pallets (including GMP/Cleanroom pallets). Unlike standard stackers, our models offer a “plug-and-play” AC power pack option, ensuring zero downtime for charging in continuous duty cycles.
- Yes. As a leading semi electric stacker straddle manufacturer, Avcon designs these units with wide outriggers that straddle the load. This allows the forks to lower completely to the floor, making them perfect for lifting double-faced or closed pallets that standard stackers cannot handle.
Avcon Systems offers semi electric straddle stackers with load capacities of 1,000 kg to 1,500 kg. Our masts are customizable, offering lifting heights up to 3,500 mm (3.5 meters), making them ideal for standard racking systems in warehouses and distribution centers.
Avcon offers flexible power options to match different operating needs. DC models are battery-operated, delivering full mobility for versatile warehouse movement, while AC plug-in models run directly on mains power, eliminating battery maintenance, charging time, and downtime for continuous operations.
Yes, versatility is a standard feature. Our semi electric stacker straddle models come with adjustable fork widths (typically 330 mm to 740 mm). This allows operators to handle various pallet sizes, from standard Euro pallets to wider industrial loads, with a single machine.
Yes. Avcon Systems is one of the few manufacturers offering flameproof semi electric stacker straddles designed for hazardous environments (Zone 1 & Zone 2 areas). These are widely used in chemical, paint, and pharmaceutical industries where standard electric equipment is a safety risk.
Our semi electric stacker straddle features an “inching” lift/lower control. This precise hydraulic regulation allows operators to raise or lower heavy loads by millimeters, ensuring exact alignment with racks or machinery, a critical feature for safety and preventing product damage.
Our units are designed for compact maneuverability with a turning radius of approximately 1,328 mm. This compact footprint allows the semi electric stacker straddle to operate efficiently in narrow aisles where counterbalance forklifts cannot fit.
