Custom Roll and Reel Stacker with Diamond Pallet Fork Elevates Efficiency

A Tailored Solution for Circular Loads

The world of logistics and warehousing is constantly evolving. Companies face unique challenges daily. Handling standard square or rectangular loads is routine. But what about circular materials like rolls, reels, or coils? These items demand specialized equipment. Standard pallet stackers often fall short, posing safety risks and slowing down operations.

This is where custom engineering steps in. We recently partnered with a client who needed a safe and efficient way to stack and transport cylindrical goods. The result? A highly customized Roll and Reel Stacker featuring a unique Diamond Pallet Fork design. This innovative product is a game-changer for businesses handling materials like paper rolls, cable reels, or fabric bolts.

Beyond the Standard: The Diamond Fork Advantage

Traditional stackers use straight, parallel forks. These are excellent for standard pallets. However, they struggle to securely cradle and lift a round object. The customized solution tackles this head-on.

We modified the standard forks into a diamond (or rhombus) configuration. This simple, yet effective, change creates a natural V-shape when the forks are brought close. This V-shape is perfect for nesting and stabilizing circular materials.

• Enhanced Stability:The diamond shape securely grips the cylindrical load on two points. This prevents rolling and slippage during lifting, lowering, and transit. Safety is paramount, and this design significantly reduces the risk of accidents and product damage.
• Versatility:The customized stacker is not limited to one type of circular item. It can handle various diameters of rolls and reels, offering greater operational flexibility.
• Efficient Stacking:With the load held securely, operators can achieve faster, more confident stacking. This boost in confidence translates directly into improved workflow and higher throughput.

Choose Your Power: Manual, Electric, and Straddle Customization

Our customized Roll and Reel Stacker is designed with flexibility in mind, offering options to suit diverse operational needs and budgets:

1. Manual Hydraulic Model:For operations with very low stacking frequency or budget constraints. It offers a robust, reliable solution utilizing manual pumping for lifting.
2. Semi-Electric Model:The most popular choice, providing motorized lifting for effortless vertical movement, while still utilizing manual pushing/pulling for horizontal transport.
3. Fully Electric Model:For high-frequency, long-distance transport and stacking. This model maximizes efficiency and minimizes operator fatigue.

Furthermore, we understand that facility layouts vary greatly. Standard stackers often require specific pallet types or floor space. For clients needing to navigate narrower aisles or handle non-standard loads, we offer the customization of straddle legs. A custom straddle leg configuration allows the stacker to safely straddle wider rolls or even access goods that are not on standard pallets, increasing maneuverability and operational reach.

Feature-Rich Design for Optimal Performance

Even with the unique diamond fork, the stacker retains the core features that ensure reliability and performance, based on our robust vehicle platform:

• Powerful Lifting System:A high-power pump station motor drastically reduces the lifting time. This speeds up the work cycle and boosts overall productivity. For safety and precision, the system includes automatic deceleration during heavy load descent. This ensures smooth and controlled placement of the valuable, circular material.
• Intuitive Control Panel:Safety is always a priority. The stacker includes an easily accessible Emergency Stop Button. An accurate battery level indicator helps operators manage power usage efficiently. The external charger features an advanced aviation connector, guaranteeing high safety, simple operation, and long-term durability.
• Robust Chassis and Wheels:The unit features a durable build. High-strength all-nylon steering wheels provide high load capacity and excellent flexibility. The size () ensures smooth movement. A mechanical brake guarantees safe and secure stopping in all conditions. Universal wheel protection and safety guards are in place to ensure secure operation.
• Ergonomics:An ergonomically designed rubber-coated handle with a gas spring return ensures comfortable and safe handling, reducing operator strain.
• Durable Forks:The customized diamond forks are built on an integrated, stamped steel plate base with a cover plate design. They maintain a minimum height of only  for easy ground entry and the width is adjustable, allowing flexibility in handling different sized circular materials.

Conclusion: Customization Drives Success

This customized Roll and Reel Stacker with a Diamond Pallet Fork is a perfect example of how tailored solutions can solve specific industry problems. By moving beyond standard equipment, our client achieved a safer, faster, and more effective method for handling their cylindrical inventory. Customization is not just about changing a part; it’s about optimizing an entire process for maximum efficiency and safety.
